Boating with Baby Christine

Mattie got all dressed up to go boating on Saturday... apparently she is already posing like a model... it must be all the ANTM I watched while pregnant with her!

Cheesing with daddy!

Melissa and Christine try to figure out the ginormous life vest....

Mattie and Mama enjoy the breeze on Lake Mission Viejo!

Caleb's 3rd Birthday!

Mattie had a blast at Caleb's Bday party on Sunday! There was lots of shade and grass to play in....

And a super fun bounce house... Mattie literally jumped for like 30 minutes straight before she got tired enough to stop for lunch...

The birthday boy with his parents and sisters! Thanks for a great party Frys!

Happy Labor Day!

I think I just decided that Labor Day is one of my favorite holidays... It is always nice weather and perfect for being outdoors at the beach... so of course we went to the Long Beach Bay, which I think we did last year too!

Mattie (and I) really love the shallow water, as it is perfect for playing, whether you are a toddler or a grown-up.... We had a blast with the Orliczkys and a bunch of their friends with kids! The only downside--- coming home for a nap... Mattie just gets too whiney/cranky if we stay too long, so we had to hit the road around 2pm... wish we could have stayed all day!

What a lovely Saturday!

We headed to Balboa to get some relief from the inland heat that has continued for way too long... The water was pretty nasty around the peninsula, but Mattie didn't mind, and even insisted that we take off her bathing suit so she could really enjoy the cool water...

Lots of planes flew overhead, here is a cute shot of Mattie and Dada looking up at a jet full of passengers going to Hawaii or somewhere fabulous....

After nap the Gordys came over and the Mamas took the kids to the pool, then we all headed out to dinner across the street and dined Al fresco, as the weather became quite lovely!
