1st Disneyland Trip!!!

While camping at the Seal Beach Naval Base we decided to go to Disneyland.  It was the girls first time ever and we had an absolute blast!  We have 3 day (any day in the year) passes (thanks to Jim Locurto) so we will definitely be coming back!!

15 Month Wellness Exam

The Girls are 15 months now and had their baby wellness exam which unfortunately came with vaccines :(. Both girls are doing fantastic and growing like crazy. Ava is 30 3/4" tall and weighs 21lbs 6oz. Ella is 31" tall and weighs 22lbs 9 oz. They are both around the 50th percentile for height and 25-30th percentile for weight. Crazy how far they've come from when they were born - Ava at 4lbs 14oz and Ella at 5lbs 2oz!

Ella's FIRST Hair Cut!!!

Today Ella got her first haircut EVER!!! Although she is just shy of 15 months, her hair was getting out of control - mainly hanging in her eyes and bunching up at her neck. She was such a big girl sitting in the chair and didn't fuss at all....we were amazed!!!

Here the very nice hair dresser shows Ella the 'sprinkles' as she called it which was really just water from the water bottle.

Ella was helping by holding a comb!

Although thin, you can see here how long her hair had gotten!

Finally, her hair was put into a tiny pony tail on top with a flower.....so cute!!!

Ava did tag along....but as you all know she still doesn't have long enough hair to cut. Anyhow, she got to pretend and sit in the big girl chair too!

4th of July 2011

We spent 4th of July this year down in San Clemente at my Mom & Steve's house!  The weather was beautiful and we had an amazing time with great friends and family!

Gene, Melissa, Noah & Finlee joined us!

"Hey Sissy, what are you playing with?"

Ryan & Shelly's Baby Shower

I cannot believe that my little brother is having a baby!!! Having said that.....we decided to throw them a baby shower! Here are the Mommy and Daddy to be!!

Little Brody's room is going to be decorated in a monkey theme so we stuck with that for the decor and food for the shower. My mom, Jen and I had so much fun putting everything together!

So many friends and family came even though it was close to 95 degrees out!

With the heat, there were some that couldn't help but take a dip in the pool!

Ella has a tooth FINALLY!!!!

Ella FINALLY has a tooth!!!!  A little late, but that's ok.  Ava has both bottom teeth now and one on top is starting to pop through.  I hope they don't start biting each other!!! YIKES!!

Ava has a tooth!!!!

While taking their 1st year photos, I happened to reach into Ava's mouth for something and felt a tooth popping through! FINALLY!!!! Yep, they are almost 1 and Ava has her first tooth. Ella is still toothless, but hey, that's okay!!
