Could this boy get any cuter?
I know, right?  
I keep thinking he can't, and then he does.  He is so sweet and fun and I love every snuggly moment.  Okay, maybe not so much the 5:30am snuggly moments, but all the others.

Amelia thinks it's really fun to wash her feet in the sink.  Unfortunately it usually turns into sitting in the sink with the water overflowing all over the bathroom floor.  Awesome.
                               

 Amelia got a tricycle for Christmas and she loves it.  She still hasn't figured out how to pedal or steer, but she thinks it's pretty cool to have a bike like other big kids.
                              
I especially love these pictures of Amelia on her trike because if you look in her right hand you can see she is snacking on some purple cabbage.  That just makes my day.
                                 
Purple cabbage mouth
                                 
 I've started doing pigtails in her hair and I love it.  
Unfortunately she doesn't love it.
Pick your battles.
Sometimes it's worth it.

On Christmas day we took a walk along the beach.
                             
                            
William got rice cereal in his stocking for Christmas.  He cried and acted like I was trying to poison him! 
                            
He liked his teddy bear from Gma and Gpa much better.
                            

It was so fun to see all of my family in Texas last month.  I know I may be biased, but I think I have the most awesome family in the world.  It was so fun sharing our lives with them for a few wonderful days.  Wish we all lived close and could do this more often.
                              
I loved seeing my kids playing with their cousins.  
 Congratulations Matt!!!  We are so proud of you and are so glad we got to celebrate this day with you.

Don't know what to say about this photo...carrots anyone?
 Partying like it's 1999...

 Here are some pictures at the beach the other day.  She is wearing William's pajama shirt.

 Some backyard swim suite fun in January.  Love it here!

A few family photos

Since we moved back to California, we thought it would be fun to have our family photos taken by the photographer who took our engagement and wedding photos almost 5 years ago!  Kim Fox is an awesome photographer (http://www.kimfoxphotographyblog.com) and I love what she is able to capture.  

Unfortunately it was really, really, really windy that day.  Hard enough to capture a perfect moment for 4 people (2 of them being kids), and then you add in a strong wind and a little chill...not a recipe for very much fun.  At least we got a few without my hair in everyone's eyes and without Amelia, William AND Andrew looking like they were having the worst time of their lives... :)

                            
                             





                               



                              




You can tell Amelia is cold at this point.  This last picture was one of the last ones she took and you can see that Amelia's hair was sticking STRAIGHT out like a big static ball...
