San Diego

As soon as we moved,

(oh, you didn't know we moved? yes we did...to the beautiful, HOT state of Arizona.

I don't believe that people ever get used to this heat...but we'll save that and the move for another post!)

I packed the Van, again, and drove only 6 hours to San Diego!

(one perk of living in Arizona...only 6 hours to see my family!)

The day after we arrived, where else would we go

but the beach?

How do sand and water entertain for soooo long?

Definitely not complaining!

We grilled hot dogs, made s'mores,

and ate way too many desserts...

Knott's Soak City

was a huge hit!

Knott's Berry Farm

was an even bigger hit!

It tired us ALL out!

Did you know that it's cool to bowl with mustache's?

Well it is...we've got the pictures to prove it!

Dinners at my parents house, Aunt Lilly's,

and JB's...

I was sort of pretending I didn't care how I fit into my jeans! :)

We Love San Diego,

We Love the beach,

We Love Cousins...

WE LOVE FAMILY!

Happy BEANday!

July 27, 2011

my little bean turned ONE!

We were in Colorado with Mark's family

and Our Nephew is just two weeks older than Lilly,

So we decided to celebrate both of them at the same time...

It took Lilly all of 30 seconds

before she just started to POUND her cake!

(She really did eat almost every single morsel, in true Maughan fashion)

Oh what would my life be without you...

You are Loved and Cherished beyond measure,

hope you never forget it!

Happy Birthday!!

Colorado

In July we met Mark's family in Breckenridge, Colorado

For a week of fun...

We rode the gondola up the mountain.

Beautiful views,

we could still see snow!

We hooked ourselves up and did backflip,

after backflip, after backflip,

until we (I) were sick!

We raced down the hill on our sleds,

Porter could've climbed the rock wall ALL day.

(proud momma moment when he reached the top!)

Family pictures

Boat rides.

We couldn't get in the water,

but it was still so much fun to be on a boat

with the wind in our hair!

Hot tubbing

Crafts with the kids.

Making animals out of balloons

Ping pong paddles with balloons

and painting rocks!

Another year of pure fun...

So lucky to be apart of such a wonderful family!

till next year...
