Rock Star

Mia is at such a SILLY age, it's hilarious. One of our favorite things is to go in her little playhouse, get out some instruments, and play music while she makes up crazy songs. Here's just a little taste of her outstanding musical talent!

"Surrogate" Family Day at the Beach

Yesterday we spent a day at La Jolla Shores with the family! It was the last day before my parents, brother, and sister left to go back home to Thailand. We also met up with our "surrogate" family! For those of you that don't know, my saint of a mother has given 3 families the gift of surrogacy :) 2 sets of twins and 1 single baby, that now range from age 2-7. Yesterday we got to meet up and visit with a wonderful family from New Mexico, Joey, Logan, and 5 year old twins Ewan & Carol Marie! It was so much fun. We brought out the boogie board for the first time, and all the kids enjoyed "surfing" all day!

Gabey LOVED the boogie board!

Gabriel played a fun game of "chuck the shovel into the waves and then try to catch it" :P He ended up clocking JR in the face a couple times too, too bad I didn't get any pictures of that!

Mia's 1st Haircut!

3.5 years old, and Mia finally gets her first haircut! Her hair was getting pretty long, and was very dry on the ends. It was getting tough to brush in the mornings, so we decided to get her first trim :) At first she was concerned about it hurting (she remembers Gabriel crying while getting his hair cut) but eventually was looking forward to it. We go to a great kids salon that has plenty of entertainment for the kids. Mia got to pick a movie to watch during her cut (Dora!).

She got the full service, wash, cut & style. Lucky girl! First it was laying down at the washing station
