Lately....

My little gymnast... Mattie takes a class every week while I get to sit upstairs and take a break for an hour... first she is getting ready for a forward roll, and next she is practicing her beam skills...

Curious George baked carrot muffins, so Mattie just had to do the same... luckily, grandma was brave enough turn her oven on so Mattie could bake, as I have been in no mood to heat up my kitchen, being 8 months preggers....

We headed to Balboa on one of the hot weekend days, where Mattie was recruited to clean the firetruck with some other kids who were out and about staying cool near the ocean...

Have you ever seen child labor produce such a happy face?

Isaac turns 2!

Mattie's good friend, Isaac turned 2 years old! He invited us to Irvine Park to celebrate his big day...

Irvine Park wouldn't be complete without a ride on the train!

Some BFF time...

Mattie just loves her BFF Tatum... recently, we met up in Oceanside for a playdate at the beach!

Mattie was also very excited to show Tatum around Pretend City.... they played dress-up and performed on stage...

And here they took turns playing doctor/patient in the "doctor's office"

4th of July fun!

Mattie had a great time on the 4th this year! Two parties, each with lots of kids, BBQ and water balloons....

And we ended the day watching fireworks close to home with Grandma and Papa!
