Goggles in the Tub

I've said it many times before.

This baby loves her baths...

Baths with goggles can be a lot of fun as well...

Who needs a trip to Disney!
This is truly Maddie's happiest place on Earth.

In The Rough

The warm California weather beckoned us outside.

We couldn't ignore the ideal weather, so we went miniature golfing.

It didn't take long before Joe ended up in the rough...

(Actually, it was my ball he was retrieving)

As you can see, the girls barely had any fun...

Just another fun day!

Princess for a Day

Jessica, one of the Murphy's family friends, was a real life beauty queen.

The girls were in awe that they knew a "real life princess".

Jessica was sweet enough to share some of her many crowns with my girls.

This small gesture made my girls feel so incredibly special...

I am not sure what sparkled more, the crowns or the girls eyes and smiles.

Olive You

Care for an olive or two...

Two cousins saying "Olive You"...

Gentle Giants

As luck would have it, while in California visiting, the SF Giants are in town.

Even more lucky for us, they were playing the Chicago Cubs.

What are the odds of that?

So we rented a van and jam packed everyone in.

Including my mom and dad.

Because to be honest, I couldn't really picture going to a baseball game without my dad.

The weather was beautiful.

I expected it to be a little cold, but it turned out to be much warmer than I thought.

The warmer weather didn't bother Lily.

She proudly wore her fuzzy panda hat...

Because I packed for cooler weather, I didn't think sunscreen would be necessary.

This was all we could do for the tiniest of fans...

In the end, the Giants lost.

We were sad, Joe was not.

My fair weather husband made sure to take off the Giants jersey he had been sporting almost the entire game to reveal the Cubs shirt he had on underneath.

Pick a side pal!

I love making these memories with my kids.

It's even sweeter when Ditado and Papa are a part of it.

Baptism

It's Maddie's special day.

Time to get baptized.

But first some snuggle time with Uncle Boo Boo...

Everyone got fancy for the special occasion...

This one was the fanciest of all..

The lovely godparents, Christi and Kevin...

A special day for my special girl surrounded by all of the special people in her life.
