4th of July

Okay so this is a little late but we had a great 4th of July!! On Saturday we went swimming with our friends the Deckers, then got together with them on Sunday for a bbq and some fireworks! We had so much fun!!

My sister Jill and her family got here on Sunday, so we were able to spend monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with them at my parents house. We had a great time with them and we are so excited that they are moving here! On wednesday Taylor and I woke up early to get surgery on her tongue. She is tongue-tied, which is too hard to explain, but she had to get surgery at my dad's office. She was very brave and I'm so glad it's over!!

Meghan visits California

Meghan and her two kids came to visit us! We had so much fun with her. (She is also 8 months pregnant with a girl) We were all able to get together for Father's Day with DELICIOUS food!

My sister's and I with my Grandpa Patton; we love how he lives close to us and not in Ohio anymore! :)
We went to Sea World...
Taylor showing off her new missing tooth!

We also went to Belmont Park in Mission Beach where they have a ton of rides for the kids.


We also went to the beach since Meghan's kids never get to go to the beach. They loved it soo much!

Gracie not looking too happy...

We are always so glad when Meghan comes to visit and HATE seeing her leave. I love you Meggy! :)

Grace and Olivia's bday

Since we moved into my sister-in-law's house, I packed EVERY single thing away to decorate for a party, even all of my cooking stuff! (we are in this house waiting to find out about a house down in San Elijo Hills) So for Grace and Olivia's birthday I decided to take them and their friends to go see Toy Story 3. They even had Toy Story 3 cupcakes at the store! It was awesome! Totally ghetto but they loved it. :)

Judd Grandkid Vacation...

We just got back from a beach house with Rob's family. It's called a Judd Grandkid Vacation so everyone from the Judd side of the family goes! We had so much fun and packed in so much in one week. These pictures are in no order at all...

One of the nights all of the cousins and their spouses went to eat at Pedro's Tacos. It was delicious, but I think they were a little overwhelmed when about 30 of us walked in! :)
Outside of our Apartment on the beach
We ate DELICIOUS food while we were there!
This is Taylor with the dessert Rob's Aunt made. The french fries were made out of sugar cookies and the hamburger was made out of cookies, brownies and icing, how adorable is that?!
We had an "A" birthday party for their cousin Allie
The girls loved posing for the Camera...


We hung out at the beach right outside our apartment...


went to Lego Land...


Went to Disneyland...
Lynnette made everyone shirts that said Judd Grandkid Vacation..
The first night Rob's Aunt's had a game for the kids, called "Minute to Win It" and they had to go from station to station to see what they could do in 1 minute...
Rob wanted in on the action too!
Taylor got 3rd place, she was soo proud! :)
Last but not least my sister Heather came up and took pictures of everyone at the beach house. She did such a great job!!


Lynnette made the girls skirts and added a flower to their shirts, they were so adorable!!

What we've been up to...

Packing...
And we had a garage sale on Saturday and Olivia wanted to put stickers on herself. I guess she thinks she's worth 50 cents, or you can make your best offer! :)P.S. We bought a brand new house, not even done being built yet! We pick out the flooring this week, it's in Carlsbad and it's beautiful! we are sooo excited and feel so blessed that everything is working out so far!

MEXICO!!!!

We just back from Mexico last night and we had such a great time! Here we are getting ready to leave and then arriving in Puerto Vallarta. We stayed at a little place called Punta De Mita, it was so beautiful! We went with our friends Sara and Wade who were celebrating their 10 year anniversary! This is the view outside our place. There was a pool right off the beach and a pool on the top deck. No one was there so we basically had the place to ourselves! That's Sara's feet in the picture below, she wanted to be able to see the pool and then the ocean from where we were sitting! Wade and Rob used the Kayak's and Paddle Boards a bunch of times while Sara and I read books and laid out!
We went out to eat every night to a bunch of fun places. Thankfully Wade spoke Spanish!!
We went snorkeling and almost died on the boat out there (it was the scariest boat ride of my life!), we walked along the beach and sipped on Pina Colada's! (virgin of course) :)
We ate out at the restaurant in the hotel, it was beautiful and we sat right on the beach.
We had such a relaxing time, now it's on to packing my house up! (what a crappy way to end a vacation!) Thanks for inviting us Sara and Wade, we had blast!!!
