Swim lessons

Noe's swim lessons.
She loves the water and especially jumping
off the side. You can't tell by the pictures,
but the pool isn't heated and we are like
bobbing ice cubes. She's a little trooper though.

Daddy's twin

Can you say Mini-me?
The eyes, the half smile, the cheekys, she is Daddy's girl.

Silent Movie Star

Hot in the city...

It's been really hot down here, as I'm sure you're all well aware. So it's been all about being outside and having fun. We started our garden and our niece Mandy came over to help us out. What's better than a post-gardening shower? A post-gardening dance party! We have some hilarious video of Noe doing her naked gardening dance too, but we'll save that for her wedding video!!

The Beach and Lovin' Gma Sue

Three mornings in a row Noe would say to me, "Mama...
wanna have a beach day today?" I finally realized I needed one
just as much as she did. It was right before the weather got
really warm and it was so refreshing just to be by the ocean again.

Doing a little stretching and chasing a seagull.


Loves rolling in the sand.


Grandma Sue came for a visit and Noelani was the luckiest
girl in the world. She got a cookie that was almost as big as she is!!
Needless to say...she loves Grandma Sue.

Gotta love apps

Okay, so I am not technologically savvy in any way shape or form, but man is my hubby. He has so many applications on his iphone. It's crazy. He can do magical things with photos, and I'm in love with the 70's vibe of all of them.

St Patty's Day

I go to an exercise class almost every morning called Stroller Strides. Noe loves to play at the park afterwards and get dirty with all the kids. Since today was St Patty's Day (go Patrick!) they brought some cupcakes for the kids. They ate those things in two seconds flat. Noe had hers for what seemed like forever. She even laid down during the process. Hers was the only cupcake that made it from the grass all the way to the park. Half of it fell on the ground and it took her another 20 minutes to eat the tiny bottom part that no one likes. That little girl is funny!!

Random events

Okay, so given the recent weather this doesn't look at all humorous.
But this was taken last week when it was 55 degrees out. She had to put
on her "bathing soup" and refused to put on anything else.



Helping Daddy with some minor plumbing, minus Daddy's plumber's crack.



Pouting in front of a store on Main Street in Huntington Beach.



Hanging with Grandma Sue in the backseat.



Lovin' her new tutu from Grandma Sue/Cyndi Lauper. ;)



Getting a Daddy back ride.



Playing in the bucket with her pal Olivia (and yes that is grass
in our backyard!). O is the daughter of a family friend of ours
that my parents have known since they were young. Crazy!
