June and July

Well, despite our crazy busy summer, life here in Huntington Beach couldn't be any better.

We started out June with a big trip. The first BIG trip for Olive. My mom, sister, Olive and I flew to Orlando to go to Disney World for a couple days! It was amazing. We had such a great time. Sarah was able to get us quite the deal and she had the whole trip planned out perfectly. We toured the Animal Kingdom on the first day, Epcot Center on the second day, and Disney's Magical Kingdom and Hollywood Studios on our third day.
Olive was amazing the whole time. She handled the plane flights perfectly, and despite spending 4 crazy hot days in a stroller, she was just wonderful! The 4 of us girls just really had a great time and we are looking forward to our next "girls" trip which will have our newest sager girl (sam) and we are just so looking forward to that.






After Disney World we tried to relax as much as possible before our next adventures. Shortly afterward we drove about 4 hours north to Fresno CA to attend my cousin Jason's wedding. It was another super hot day but they did a great job and offered a lot of shade and misters and a huge swamp cooler. It was a beautiful wedding, the bride and groom both looked amazing and we wish them both the best!






We drove back home, packed our bags, and headed off to Oceanside for our summer vacation. We have been spending July in Oceanside as a family for the past 21 years. We have a great condo right on the beach, we get to enjoy the fireworks for the 4th of July. Just relaxing and spending time with each other is what its all about.
That is where we are at currently. Ill post pictures as soon as I have them. We are going to be in Oceanside till the 13th. On the 14th we are driving to San Louis Obispo to stay the night with the Stevensons. We are driving to San Fransisco on the 15th and staying with Wendy, Jon, and Dawn for 2 nights. Then heading to my brothers wedding in Emeryville for the 17th and 18th, and driving back home on the 19th. Whew, busy busy busy. Hopefully Olive will survive all these trips.
We absolutely cannot wait for August. Another big month. Drew's parents are coming on the 9th, and we can't wait to see them! They haven't seen us since our move down south in May, so we are going to have a blast with them. Our anniversary is on the 6th, Drew's bday on the 11th, and mine on the 24th.
Hopefully life will slow down after that!

The past couple weeks...






So the last couple weeks have really flown by. Sarah has been super busy working, and Olive has been super busy eating! lol
I had a wonderful Mother's Day! Olive dictated to Drew a card for me, and she also asked Drew to paint me a picture of her most favorite possession...her sailboat pacifier. I loved it! It was the best first Mother's Day I could have hoped for.
Drew and I have really been getting involved with the Rock Harbor church down here in Costa Mesa. We really love it so far, and we have gotten involved in a pretty sweet small group that takes place on Tuesday nights.
We are so blessed to have made some really good friends already! Our friends have two little girls, a nine month old and a 2 year old, so Olive has some new friends too!!! We hang out with them quite a bit and attend family BBQ's and some sporting events.
The next couple months are going to be so busy. We have a couple weddings to attend. Olive and I are going to Disney World with my mom and Sarah at the beginning on June, and then Oceanside will be in July. Ill try to keep everyone updated as much as possible!
