a ♥j♥ day

my baby sister is getting married.
i can't believe it. we are just two weeks away from the big day.
we planned a girls day out in honor of her...it was the BEST ever.
the dads took over the kids so that we could get a little distraction-free time in.
this was the first "girls" day for me in years, literally, so needless to say i was a bit overdue.

we started the day off with coffee and pedis. gift time was next. we adorned her with lots of pretty things for the big day and honeymoon with a few naughty things thrown in. then we headed to the spa for a little pampering. the day ended with a fancy schmancy dinner on the waterfront. talk about a perfect day.

baby j, i couldn't be more happier for you. you found a pretty special guy in wade. you two are just perfect for each other. thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. i love you both bunches!!

of what's to come...

we are back in town!
it was an incredible week of relaxing and endless fun.
now comes the {fun} task of sifting through all the pictures. there are a lot.
before i get to that i have a couple posts to do. i like them to be in sequence. type a, i know.

and we're off

san diego bound for a little pre-vacation sun & fun....
sunglasses. check.
suntan lotion. check.
bikinis. check.
three very excited little girls. check..check..check

trust me i'm a doctor

...i would think twice about letting these two operate on me

alex and barth. two peas in a pod.

alex gained the title of barth's {second wife} this past year.

i think those two spent more time with each other than barth and i...i am still his favorite though alex. just so you know.

{the girls with alex and adelyn...they miss you already}

back in business

5 moves in 8 years.
i would love to tell you this will be it for us for awhile, but that's just wishful thinking.

this has been quite the whirlwind week.
monday consisted of moving. it took from dawn till dusk. well past midnight to be exact.
tuesday to today has been organizing and more organizing. but i think we are just about done.
our new place already feels like home. the girls have decided that this is their favorite. it changes with every move. i guess that's a good thing.
and while blogging should be the last thing i should be thinking about or doing, i was beginning to have withdrawals. seriously.

tonight we pack for our family vacation. i told you it's been a crazy week. not a moments rest.
come sunday morning we will be on a plane headed to hawaii. i can't wait.

chloe decided to break out the party hats for our last dinner before the move. love her.

a happy birthday

happy birthday to the best husband and daddy a girl could ever ask for...
it was a {barth} kind of day...a trip to starbucks x 2, early morning workout, beachtime with his ladies, and lots of good food...just what the doctor ordered.

happy birthday love.

the stats {6 months-ish}

i took riley in for her 6 month check-up today.
she is definitely growing...maintaining those rolls quite nicely.
typically doctors appointments can be quite a stressful event, three kiddos & a mommy all crammed into a tiny room.
today was a treat. just mommy and riley. daddy stayed home with the big girls.
she took her shots, all three of them, like a champ.

the stats

weight: 17lbs 12oz (75%)

head circumference: 17 1/2" (90%)
