2nd day

Our 2nd day in San Diego we headed to La Jolla Shores for some beach time. It was a BLAST! Samarrah LOVED the water, Ayo did NOT. He was content sitting in the sand with his "Shobel" He was fine if we carried him out into the water, but wanted none of it by himself. Samarrah was obsessed with the water, she would fall in and the waves would go over her, and she was laughing, she was so happy! It was the most relaxing place, me and Prince took turns just being out in the water by ourselves, and it was so serene. I realized the beach is the perfect vacation, everyone is content doing what they want, and eating all of the treats that they want. It was a perfect morning( minus the horrendous sunburn I got, go figure the whitest person in the family was the only one without sleeves, I learned my lesson.) I had 50 million pictures but only picked 10, it was rough, ENJOY!!!

4th of July fireworks

For the night of the 4th we headed to La Jolla Shores for the fireworks. It was a blast, Ayo was terrified of the water and would not turn his back to the ocean, Samarrah wanted to go swimming but I had to hold her back. I made their outfits and was so excited for them to have their first 4th on the beach, there is no other way! The fireworks were fantastic. It was nice to put a blanket on and be cold. It was the perfect end to our vacation.

final day

Our last day in San Diego we stopped at the beautiful temple. It was a fantastic experience. It was beautiful and peaceful. We were so sad to leave, but are so excited to live so close and go back often.

Ayo turned 2 on Saturday and I cannot believe it has been two years! He is such a little ball of energy. I cannot believe how much his personality has evolved over hte last few months. We had a little family barbecue for him, and of course it was all Cars. I made him a birthday outfit with cars shorts and decorated a shirt to match. He got lots of great presents including some fabric blocks I made for him with the letters for his name. He got a Kobe Bryant jersey from my parents which made my husband extremely happy!!! It was a fun day, and we are looking forward to more years and parties to come. He is an amazing little boy with a heart of gold, and the spirit of a ninja warrior. As seen in the picture he loves to jump around like a little ninja. We love you to death Ayo and are so glad we get to take on the "terrible" twos with you!!!

All of the Labor....

so since we moved here in April we have been demoing the backyard. It was a big honkin mess. After all the hard demoing work and making beautiful piles of dirt cinderblock and rock it was time to move it all to front yard into the honkin dumpster. We enlisted some buff young men :) and went to work it really did not take that long, and was pretty fun. It felt good to do some hard work together.
The beautiful piles!

working hard!

The muscles!

The team!

A job well done, a dumpster well filled

Pictures of the AFTER below.

New beautiful yard

So these aren't scenic shots of just the yard, but shots of the fun times we have in the yard. It was a lot of work, but it looks fantastic, and now we can all enjoy it.

Had to document it

I had to write this somewhere and it will be forever here if I blog about it. Today was National Donut Day and they were giving out free donuts at Krispy Kreme. Me, my mom, and sister packed up the kids and headed out for our free donuts. We were eating our fantasticly delicious donuts when Samarrah got a sad look on her face and said " Oh No there is a hole in my donut" It was so funny. Everyone around us started laughing, it was classic. She is so bright and says the funniest things, it is just great to see her grow up into such an amazing girl.
I have tons of pictures to put up, we helped my parents demo their backyard, and fill two dumpsters, it was HARD work, but lots of fun! I have no new pictures because m camera broke, I am having a hard time surviving, but will hopefully get my new dream camera soon!!!!!! Love you all
