Moving Day

Water Waste

On August 7th a huge 18 wheeler showed up to take away all of our stuff.

The move was uneventful but while the movers were packing everything up there was an accident on the road right by our house.

Water Waste

Apparently someone hit a fire hydrant.

All that water being wasted. :(

Jourdan and Layla's Birthday

Jourdan and Layla's Birthday Party

We started off August with a big birthday bash for the little kiddos. Their birthdays are 4 days apart at the end of August but since we were moving August 10th we had a San Diego birthday party on the 1st. Jourdan turned 3 and Layla turned 1. All of our San Diego family came. It was sad because we knew this was one of the last times we would all be together. When you are in the military it is always hard to make close friends because you know you are going to get re-stationed and have to leave everyone. But the best way to leave is to have a big party! We decided to do a beach party for the kids.

Jourdan and Layla's Birthday Party

Our friend, Jessica, made a phenomenal cake for the kids. They each had their own personal cake and then a palm tree for the main cake.

Standing and Walking

Layla Standing

I know I have posted a video of Layla walking but here are some pictures from when she first started to walk. She had just figured out how to stand well and was taking a few steps. She was a 11 months old in these pictures.

Monsters In The Grass

Dana Point

Awhile back before we left San Diego our Nana came to visit. While she was visiting, the boys went to Dana Point to go finishing. We tagged along with some friends to eat dinner and walk along the docks. Jourdan and Abby had such a fun time.

They picked cattails.

Dana Point

They were constantly running ahead of us.

They became monsters and hid in the grass with the cattails.

And finally they became transformers and changed right before our eyes on the sidewalk.

Five minutes after getting in the car the kids were out...as well as the adults. Don't worry I didn't sleep and drive. I took one for the team.
