Torrance Beach

We also went to Torrance Beach. I was born in Torrance and lived there when I was little. If was fun to drive by where I used to live. Even though I can't remember it. I was 5 when we moved to Georgia.

Phoebe's first Beach trip. I have to say the beach is not as much fun when you are nursing. She did sleep for a little.

Rachael helped the girl's make a Hello Kitty Sand sculpture! I'm sad I didn't get a picture of it.

Prego and Kate sun bathing.

Jeffrey after eating some Cheetos mm..mmm.

All the kids playing with the sand toys. (Ok I guess the picture is self explanatory)

After the beach we went to visit my mom's family. On the way home we took all the kids. Jeffrey didn't want to be left out of the fun. Look at all those cute kids. Phoebe was smiling too I'm sure of it.

Splash Pad

 When my fam was here we went to a Splash pad that wasn't to far from us. It was super crowded, but they still had fun.

Phoebe's Blessing Day

 I know this is late, but it is Summer time now so we are hopping around doing tons of fun things. Kyle is off work and life is grand. My family came for two weeks. I should say some of my family was here for one week and some were here for another. Kyle's parents have stayed with us some weekends too. Phoebe was blessed June 9th. Let's see people in the circle were: both Grandpa's, Uncle Justin, Bishop Elkins, and Kyle gave the blessing. Our primary president knows short hand so she actually typed out the blessing for us! It looks like all our girls will wear the same blessing dress...I know they won't have one of their own to pass on. This was my blessing dress. I keep having good intentions of making one, but don't feel skilled enough to do so. Now it's tradition to wear mine haha.

We all look crazy in this one, but at least we are all in it:)

Me, Phoebe, and Kylie's leg. Look at those cheeks.

Grandma and Grandpa Morty.

Phoebe's 4 Months Old!!!

4 month stats:
Weight: 12 lbs. 6 oz. - 15%
Length: 25 and 1/4 - 76%
Head: 42 cm - 70%

She "talks" a lot and is a very happy baby. She is by far my easiest baby yet! She sleeps and eats and smiles in between. She has rolled over once during the middle of the night. I'm not very good and giving her tummy time. Maybe that would help in the rolling over. She refuses to take a pacifier, but loves to suck on her fist or fingers. Her sisters love her and always want to hold, hug, kiss, etc. She never cries when clobbered by them. I think she is going to be one tough cookie. I think her middle name sums her up...Joy :)

She was ready to eat...and not very excited to take a pic.

Great weather=dirty kids:)

My girls LOVE rolly pollies and keep them as pets in back of the trike:)

Moreno Valley Splash Park. This was soooo much fun. They have a water pad on one side and a park right next to it. My girls went back and forth. Best part about it....FREE:)

This one looks like she is posing.

Play date with some of our favorite people. Dean is 100% boy. Shelby and I were talking on the patio and Shelby was like it is pretty quiet. We knew it could only mean one thing. We went to the side of the house and found a pool full of mud. Good thing mud washes off. They had a blast.

Maddie took matters into her own hands to wash her clothes. We had some pretty dirty kids.

Knotts Again!

Kyle and Phoebe were with us too, but no pictures to prove it. We had so much fun. Phoebe slept from 8pm-7:30am it wore her out. That is by far the longest she has slept for me.

Weed the garden Time! (or pull out the corn)

I had to add these pictures of Kylie's puffy eye. She built a fort in her room with the card table. We went out and came back. She ran into her room and forgot about the fort = puffy eye. It wasn't that bad when she went to bed, but when she came out in the morning...I was sitting on the couch feeding Maddie when she walked in the family room. I couldn't stop laughing...you had to be there.

I think she looks a little like my sister Kira here.

This was right after dinner. Didn't get the chance to wipe off the face yet. We believe a little dirt is good for the system.

Kyle wasn't too happy when Mads pulled out the corn. I thought it was hilarious and took a picture.

Of course Kylie wanted a picture with the corn too.

So serious.
