Auntie Andrea and Uncle Jeremy's Wedding

Amazing Flower Girl

Dancing Queen

Stunning!

Aaron was a natural

Kiss for Auntie

Perfect

Last weekend was Auntie Andrea and Uncle Jeremy's wedding. It was the perfect day.  It was at the South Coast Winery in Temecula.  It was hot but the wedding was in the evening and it was beautiful with a nice breeze.  Aaron officiated the wedding and was very honored to marry them but very nervous as well.  Aaron and I wrote the vows together and everyone was so happy with his loving words.  I have to say that Aaron was a natural up there and looked pretty handsome in his suit but no one looked as stunning as Andrea.  She was so beautiful.  Her and Jeremy were beaming.

Tallulah was the perfect flower girl.  She was so cute and did everything with such joy.  I think she may have stole the show at the reception with her dancing skills as well.

It was a great day filled of family and love and we are so excited for Andrea and Jeremy's future.  They are a wonderful match and his family is such a compliment to ours.  We look forward to all the fun to come.

Thank you to them for a great weekend.

We love them very much.

Tallulah's 2nd Birthday

It is hard to believe that Tallulah turned 2!  She has become such a little girl and has transformed into an amazing two year old.

On the morning of her birthday, we surprised her with an amazing tee pee that Aaron worked so hard on and a bunch of balloons.  As she came down the stairs, she was so surprised and excited.  It was the best feeling to see her with such joy on her face.  ( See video below) Tallulah has been in love with her tee pee ever since.  I am so proud of Aaron, he is an amazing Papa.  Later that evening, we had a family dinner at Tallulah's favorite place, Wahoo's.  After dinner, everyone came over for cupcakes and the fun candle blow out.  We feel so lucky to have our family here.  It was so wonderful to have Abuela, Auntie Andrea, Uncle Jeremy, Uncle Richie, Auntie Sara and Cousin Julien all here for the celebration.  She was giving such great gifts.  A new red wagon, a table she can use for outside for painting etc. and an awesome set of Go Fish and Mama and Baby memory game. Tallulah was beaming the whole day and night.  It was a great day.

Then the following Saturday, we had a beach birthday party with friends and family and Grandma Milanna flew down for the party and Grandpa Richard came as well.  It was the only gloomy day of the week but the kids still had fun playing in the dirt at the Carlsbad campsite, eating cake and then playing at the beach afterwards.  The sun never came out but Tallulah was so happy and covered in dirt and sand by the days end.

As always, we are grateful for our amazing family and friends.  Tallulah is one lucky girl!

We love her so much.

Happy Birthday Tallulah!

Wow, it has been awhile!

Beacons Fourth of July

Peaced after a day at Beacons

Joaquin's baby shower in Anza

First Swim Lesson

I cannot believe the last post I did was in May!  It has been a busy couple months.  First, we moved to our new place in Cardiff at the start of June on Aaron's birthday.  Poor guy, not a fun way to spend a birthday!  We love our new place, it is so quite and it is so nice to have two bathrooms!  The challenge with a toddler is that it takes a lot longer to unpack so we are still working on that. 

We had Joaquin's baby shower in Anza at Aaron's dad's house and it was the perfect day with our friends and family.  Some of our friends stayed the night and camped so that was awesome. 

Aaron started his new job as Facilities Manager for Nixon and has been loving it. He just finished spending time doing both jobs of accounting and Facilities Manager so he is happy to be focused on one position.  He just sold an art piece in the Sea Shepard Art Show last weekend and this is his fourth year supporting the cause.  He is also gearing up to make a bunch of surf board bags for Nixon Europe so that will be crazy for him but exciting. 

Auntie Sara, Uncle Richie and Cousin Julien moved her last week from San Francisco and that has made us very happy.  We look forward to all the great memories to come with them now living here.

Tallulah started her swim lessons last week and is doing great. She was not in love with going under water but now that she is getting used to it, she is starting to enjoy it.  This week she moves up to the intermediate level.  I have loved being in the pool with her since my belly is huge!  I am six months pregnant but feel 8 months so I am getting anxious. 

We also had a fun Fourth of July at Beacons which is our annual spot.  All of our wonderful friends were there.  It was a cloudy day but Tallulah had the best time and was peaced out in the van afterwards.

Tallulah is turning 2 on Tuesday which we cannot believe.  She has become such a sassy and smart little girl, it is amazing to watch.  We have a little family gathering on her birthday and then her party will be this weekend at the beach.  Aaron has been making something super special for her so we are excited to unveil it.

After that, we have Auntie Andrea and Uncle Jeremy's wedding which is a huge occasion and Tallulah will be the flower girl while Aaron will be marrying them! Such a fun day that will be for the family!

After all this excitement, it will be August and then before you know it, Joaquin will be here in October.

Stay tuned for pictures from Tallulah's birthday.  We love you all.

Happy Summer!
