ella does the beach…

we had a great time while visiting the cape for a friend’s wedding last weekend. i wish we were away for longer. starting next year i am making mandatory that we get away from the farm for a week of family time. ella travels pretty well. we headed out in the morning and stopped at the zoo on our way. (there will be no photos from the zoo…i took some…but seriously…i have no idea what we were thinking going to the zoo on a 100′ day. there are all of 5 photos…and they are nothing to write home about…ella isn’t even in them.) anyway…so we did the zoo…and then continued on…in the AC (thank gawd!) the little one napped and chris and i chatted while we drove. once we arrived we checked in and went out to grab dinner down town.

ella slept great! she was asleep by 8:30pm in her pack and play and chris and i stayed up and watched a movie….um and she slept till 7:30 the next morning…not a peep! we hit the beach after breakfast the next day (there are photos from breakfast…but they aren’t pretty…my child slept great…i on the other hand did not.)

she LOVED the beach. actually LOVED is an understatement. these are photos from saturday before the wedding at the beach and again on sunday before we headed home. all around it was such a great mini vacation. hopefully next summer we will get away for longer…i just adore time with my little family. it makes me super happy.

Emily - Such a beautiful family. And seriously?? I NEED a family photo shoot by Kerri! SO, um, do you fly for work? lol.

kerri - you buy me a ticket and put me up…and i am ALL yours mama!

we’re back!

it has been a crazy couple of weeks. we had 2 little vacations…one wedding and lots of driving! i have an insane amount of photos to catch up on but i hope to get things together to share our adventures soon.

and i must say…ella…is an awesome little traveler….in the car. we have yet to fly anywhere with her…but if she can put up with the car like she had to…i think flying will be a breeze!

hope all my lovely friends are well.

xoxo

*will return with photos.

emily bilbrey - can’t wait to see the photos! and i’m thrilled for you that ella was a great car traveler. amazing! hugs!

better than a rainbow…

we had quite the week…98+ degree temperatures. and to top it all off we had not seen a drop of rain in weeks. finally we got some relief today. it torrentially poured for and hour. not so sure if it really is going to help the fruit trees out or not. after we put ella down for the night and were getting ready to grill…this was our view. to me its better than a rainbow.

*and this is not doctored up…all i did was darken the shadows a bit…so you can’t see the ugly piece of crap backhoe that was totally ruining the shot.

Kristi Maristi - AMAZING! So beautiful.

Lena - beautiful!

i made a page for facebook. curious what kind of response i will get for it. i figure maybe knowing i have readers waiting on the edge of their seats…might actually encourage me to write. so follow the link over to the left…and “like” us…if you like us!

i can’t handle it…

for months she has had her own cabinet…filled with tupperware…sippy cups that didn’t make the cut…measuring spoons…you know…fun stuff?!?! she had no interest in any other cabinets…awesome…score for me! well…she has discovered the other cabinets…and all the other fun stuff that i have been keeping from her…the stand-up mixer…a panini press…actual tupperware i “use.” and the topper…well…she fits perfectly inside the cabinet.

to be honest…i can’t handle her getting in this cabinet. i was okay with her having her “own” cabinet…everyday…i would go around and pick up her trail of cabinet innards…put them away…only for her to go and take  them all out again. but now on the daily i am finding i have no good tupperware…because it is mixed in with “her” tupperware…and when chris got up this morning at 5am…he had no to-go coffee mug because she had stashed it in her ladybug tent…and obviously he didn’t think to look there.

needless to say…i need to go and buy some extra childproof locks.
