17 months- pics

It's hot here this weekend. The kind of hot where I woke up at 5 AM to close all the windows-in hopes of keeping all the cool air in and the hot air out. Yesterday, Maya had a great time at a birthday party where she spent most of her time in a jumpy house and today we have hit the park and I think she might go swimming with J later this afternoon. Summer is here and I realized while we have 3 bottles of sunscreen in rotation- we'll be needing more!

World Cup is on and our DVR is working over time with all the games. Josh and I even got to hang together yesterday mid-day to watch the US tie England 1-1 (thanks Sarah for playing with Maya!)


One of my new favorites:

our anniversary and a crazy drive

We survived! It was a 10 hour drive to OC last Friday. It was quite a road trip for a couple days visit-but we did it. Josh and I spent one night at the hotel where we got married (love it there) while Maya stayed with her Oma and Papa (thanks guys!) They had a blast and we had a blast and then it was time to turn around and make the 7 hour trip home. Next year- we'll buy plane tickets way in advance and hopefully plan a few more days down there so we can also see other family and friends and so Maya can have more time there, too. 17 hours in a car with a toddler who doesn't sleep on the road was interesting, to say the least.

Happy 4 year year anniversary babe. XO

Maya is really talking a lot. This week she is saying words like "eyebrow," "elbow" and "bubbles." So fun!

Four Years!
