july

So much going on in July! Seth got offered a job - so that means we'll be leaving for the East coast again! Seth's birthday, Sofia's 1st birthday.... packing, projects & spending as much time as possible with the family!!

my sweet, silly Suri bug

this girl LOVES to paint! I'm so happy she's creative & artistic - maybe she got a lil somethin from me ;)

Seth decided he wanted to build us a new dining table since ours was warped and we'd need a smaller one anyway living in an apartment. So he came up with this beauty! Rustic and country and absolutely perfect! And of course, Dad helped out a TON too! I am so thrilled and appreciative for the beautiful table! You guys should start a business?! (wink wink Dad.). Seth also made some amazing Restoration Hardware inspired nightstands, which I sadly don't have a picture of - cause they are amazing!! He's so good to me :)

giving it a good wax

another doctor appointment! this time we got the sailing room :)

apparently, these two love to snuggle! LOL

fun adventures at the park. Swings are their favorite! And Suri is obsessed with wearing her bathing suit

That's right! Our little birthday princess is turning ONE!

My turn to cuddle :)

what a goober!! I love this girl <3 br="">

Sadly, we could no longer keep our dogs and had to find them a new home. Luckily, our cousin Priscilla said she would love to have them, and we got Ares all pampered to go to his new house/owner! Priscilla and Suri were making silly faces and taking lots of selfies ;) Meanwhile, Sofia was having fun with Daddy practicing her balance! We are so thankful that Priscilla was able to take care of Ares & Luna and that she gives them the love and attention they deserve! I miss them, and Suri always talks about her dogs, but they have a lovely new home, a great new owner, and a new friend too!

AHH!! Our baby is ONE year old already! Boy, does time fly! She loved her first balloon from Auntie Amanda! Since her birthday and Seth's are right around Independence Day, we decided to go patriotic for this All American Girl's birthday party!

hanging out with cousin Caleb

my favorite part of the 1st bday: smash the cake! She was very reluctant at first when everyone was standing around staring at her, but as soon as everyone went away, she dove right in! YUM! Taste that heavenly goodness! Now she has the sweet tooth, just like her mama ;)

Seth got an awesome grab bag full of 'FBI' inspired gifts from his nephews. Awesome spy glasses, a gun, and other fun gadgets!

more gangnam style! they can't get enough

...an awesome turtle pool!!!!

Thanks everyone for making Sofia's 1st birthday so much fun and so special! She is such a sweetheart and brings an enormous amount of joy to our lives! We love you baby girl! XOXO
