Newport Beach

I always look forward to our annual Newport Beach trip. This was the first time we were going to have the entire family together! I was not about to make that drive with Luella so I decided to fly and most of the others drove down. Luella did surprisingly really well on the flight. The color wonder coloring books saved us...and TREATS. This girl loves treats; I wonder who she takes after? 


 Josh came to pick us up from the airport and when he called to have us walk out front he was nowhere to be found....yep you guessed it, he drove to the wrong airport. Bless his heart. We forgave him and wandered the airport getting stickers from police officers. You can tell she feels important.

Look at that strut


This is my world. We are so excited for Lu to have a sister!





I'm all for exercise and I love to walk on the beach but this was more than I asked for; especially being pregnant. Grateful I have family to hold Lu as I waddle along the beach (4 miles later). 

 





We spent one of the days shopping and when I went to go find Luella and Josh; this is what I stumbled across.

 Lu met a new friend and they decided to have a dance party!


Doing her leg trick...she knows what moves to pull



SPLITS for the grand finale







Papa insisted that we take Lu to Disneyland. I kept telling him she was too young and wouldn't care but he wasn't taking no for an answer. So off to Disneyland we went. I bought her a Minnie Mouse shirt to pretend like she even cares. She actually really enjoyed herself but lets face it; her favorite part was the parking garage and going up and down stairs.



Never thought this would happen...thank goodness it did


Just doing some light reading on Olivia's iPad


Step away from the pole Lu....


This girl could go up and down the stairs all day long



no words..


Pretty much pounded the beans and rice


Her new favorite phrase, "come on guys"

Family reunions and Summer!

Luella is 21 1/2 months here! I can't get over how grown up she is now. Having her to hang out with everyday is the BEST. 


 She loves to dance when Josh makes a protein shake in the blend tech. She then insists on helping us drink it.


We had a fun Saturday night with our friends Craig and Karrie. We usually eat somewhere and go hang out at Qualtrics. The boys play ping pong and the girls sit in the massage chairs. Tonight we decided to take the golf carts for a spin. Luella was in heaven!


All former Cougarette children....i guess we are doing our job at multiplying and replenishing the earth


This picture is going to melt Josh's heart



Had a fun time going to the Keith Urban concert with Josh's family. I think I only knew one song but I wasn't about to turn down a night with these gals.


Just missing Ali...



She could eat watermelon for days....


Our conversation went something like this..."Luella now that you are all dressed and ready to go stay here for 1 minute while Mom packs up." (two seconds later she runs and jumps back into the pool without her life jacket) She seems pretty proud of herself in this picture. 


I have always felt that Cougarettes was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. These girls are like sisters to me and always will be.



of course....

too occupied to stop and smile...


This picture takes the cake!



She is lucky to have such fun cousins...



Her and Titan would not stop kissing...she's a natural
