Loving Life and Los Angeles

LOVING LIFE...

Kate ran her first race! She was the fastest girl (if that really means anything at this age) and she did a great job!



We spend most of our time outside playing...in water!! It is sooo hot!

Some very dear friends of ours became parents to a precious baby girl! We can't get enough of baby Noelle and take every chance we can to love on her!


LOVING LOS ANGELES...

Then Kate and I hopped on an airplane and took off for Los Angeles leaving Jason and Whit at home.

To visit our dear friends the Glazes. Their little girl Graham was Kate's first real little friend and it makes me smile that they still love each other soooooo much even though we now live on opposite ends of the United States.

Can't forget about Noelle and Piper. I am so very grateful for this friendship!

We went hiking...

Put our toes in the Pacific Ocean...

Rode our first Ferris Wheel...

Rode bikes down the beach...
...and so much more that by the end of each day we were pooped!

Then just a week later Jason stayed home with the kids and let me go on a girls trip to the beach! The four of us have been friends for 20+ years. Needless to say we had an amazing time and enjoyed every second we were away. But I am pretty sure all our husbands were glad to see us come home...playing Mr. Mom they found was not as easy as it seems!
