Daisy's. My favorite flower. And Addison. My favorite buddie.
So glad Addie allowed me to take pics of her with the flowers in our yard. 
Addie and Emma are spending LOTS of time together this summer. And we all love it!
.. feeding horses.
The other day we had some friends over to enjoy the sunshine. Emma, Addie, Josh, and Zac.
We took Addie to her first parade. She loved it. I hated going to parades as long as can remember as a teenager and kid for some reason. But I knew I needed to go for Addie. And it turned out being a lot of fun, even for me! Addie of course LOVED all the candy and the flag she got. Her favorite was the guys on 4 wheelers, motorcycles, the princess floats, and the cheer leaders. They also had a lot of people in costumes and mascots, that was cute too. I can see this being our new tradition. It was fun to watch her excitement as something new was coming up the way. She really makes so many things in life much more enjoyable!! Love ya my little firecracker!
Add and Grandma sylin with their shades!
we still have a great time here! I love this little lake by our house. It has everything but the waves! I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time here this summer!
I'm so glad it worked out for our friends to be able to go to Cali the same week as we did. :)
This Princess Lunch was the best part of Disneyland! Kim, Emma, Addie, and I had a lunch date with most of the Disney princesses! How cool is that!? It was in this really cute Under the Sea themed room and had a yummy fancy lunch. (too fancy for the kiddos.)lol Then every 5 min or so a new princess would be announced and in she would come. Each one would stop at each table and take pictures and visit with all the "mini princesses". The girls were so excited the whole time they couldn't even eat, they sat on the edge of their chair anxiously awaiting their turn with the princess. It really was so much fun for Kim and I also. At one point we both looked at each other with huge smiles and said, "This is so cool!!" We had our childhood wishes fulfilled too! lol It was so worth it! Thanks so much for talking me into it Kim. :)
The whole group.. lots of cute little kidos that had a lots of fun together.
Hooray! We finally got to meet TinkerBell!! After an hour plus wait in line! She was so cute with Addie. She took time with her and they chatted together. 
We had the unique opportunity to visit my cute little brother on his mission in San Diego. We took him and his companion to lunch and got to hear all about what they've been up to. It was great to see him again! 
Next we went to Huntington Beach which is like half hour away from our hotel, because of traffic. It was SO prettty at night. We grabbed a pizza and set up a picnic on the beach. It was so much fun! Something I was always wanted to do! It was a sweet little family pinic with a beautiful sunset. Then Josh and Addie tested the water as I snuggled up in a blanket and watched them with a huge smile on my face. Geese I love my family oh so much!
Addie had so much fun at the beach, we had to take her back on our way home. It was warm, but windy. That didn't stop her from getting completely soaked in the waves. I didn't even put her in a swim suit, I thought she would just "dip in her toes". Silly me. She played in the waves for so long. It was the cutest thing. She kept taking Josh out further and further into the ocean then run from the waves.
