Sydney the dancer!

4th of July at the river!

We went a long weekend at the river to celebrate the 4th of July with my mom and dad and Amanda and Jeff. Sydney absolutely LOVES the water. Darren and I spent a lot of time running after her or sloshing around in the water with her. Great weekend!














Mom's surprise 60th birthday party

Surprise! In June my mom turned 60 and my dad and sisters and I planned a surprise party at El Torito Grill. She was surprises and everyone had a great time!









3 years!

On May 19th Darren and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary! It's surprising how fast 3 years have flown by. I still cannot believe how lucky we were to find each other. We both truly believe we are living with our soul mate. Love you babe!

Trip to Paradise!

In May we were so lucky to spend 9 awesome days in Hawaii! We stayed at an absolutely amazing house on the North Shore on the famous Pipeline beach with my mom and dad and Pam, Brent, Avery, Brady and Finley. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the beach or the back patio and just googling at the amazing views. Besides drooling over the view we also did some snorkeling at Shark Cove, the boys did some body boarding, we went to the Dole Plantation, spent a day at Pearl Harbor and Waikiki, went to the town of Haleiwa for lunch and famous shaved ice and we even went searching for the beaches from the TV show Lost. One of the best parts of the trip was BBQing fish we bought from the local market each night on the back patio. Eating fresh fish overlooking the ocean and listening to the waves break each night was such a treat. Darren and I also scored the master bedroom so we were able to fall asleep to the sweet beach noises each night. We all want to go back!!!

Sydney 13 months

Our little Sydney has brought so much joy to our lives! She is such a happy and sweet little girl. She loves being outside, walking all over the place and spending time with other kids. We couldn't love her more!







Palm Springs Getaway!

Darren and I were fortunate enough to spend an entire weekend relaxing and having fun in Palm Springs this past weekend! Thanks to our lovely parents we were able to leave Sydney at home and enjoy an extended weekend. Our friends Alisha and Greg got married at the posh Parker hotel on Saturday night. Besides the really beautiful and fun wedding, we also spent time at the pool, Darren golfed and I got a nice maicure. We were able to spend some alone time as well as lots of time with some of our closest friends. Although we missed Sydney a lot it was such a nice break to get away and not have to be responsible for a 13 month old.
