Maddie and Mia... i was pretty surprised we were able to get them both smiling.... miracles do happen!


My photogenic little baby doll!! we got her to sit up for like two seconds.... just enough to snap a shot :)


A sweet candid shot of my mads ... what a sassy gal!


Mia chillin' ...


i love my man! and i also thought the color on this one was fun and funky!


the warner girls just can't get enough of this handsome man :)

Every year i take trip to california with my girls and we spend two weeks together with my mom :) we always have soooo much fun and this year was no exception!! we always do the same fun things with a few variations... but here is a quick summary :) we shopped, ate out, went to disneyland (twice), sewed, watched movies, ate golden spoon (mmm), played games, went to the beach, swam in the pool, stayed up late and talked in bed, and did whatever we felt like doing !! i had a fun night out with my sister-in-law Laura where we went out for dinner at the melting pot and some shopping after... sooo fun! i got to see my friend stephanie pinkham who was my best friend in high school... it was fun to meet up with her since it's been like 6 years since i saw her! i also had tons of fun at the beach with my brother... we got to play in the ocean!! here are some pix from the trip :)

Going to Disneyland... such a process with two kids and two strollers, but worth it!

Meeting Minnie Mouse... Maddie carried around a little minnie mouse doll the whole trip!

Just a pretty picture :)

and a drooly one :)

and the only picture of mia at the beach... i'm super bummed!

My brother letting the kiddies (emily, Aiden, and Maddie) put sand all over him.... YUCK! it must be a dad thing to let the kids cover them with sand.. because there is absolutely no way you would get me to do that!! but it sure is fun to watch :)

Sassy cousins... maddie and emily had so much fun playing together :)

the loot picture.... i wasn't going to blog this one, but... whatever, don't judge me :)

Home to daddy... and sooooo happy!

**we had such a fun trip! love you mom and we are already looking forward to next year :)
