July Visit of our Families

We had an incredibly special weekend with both Phil & Emily's families in town. Our sister's and their children came for a visit as well. Ashlyn and Kailey were never short of attention and they both loved getting to spend time with their cousins!

Here's Grandmommy Mary Lou with all her Grandchildren, Ashlyn, Kailey and L.J.

4th of July

Here is our parade of strollers walking to Downtown El Segundo to watch the fireworks! The show was amazing. I've never been so close to fireworks in my life. It felt like you could reach out and touch them. Even with all of the lights and loud booms, both girls were so exhausted, they fell asleep:)

Ashlyn and her buddies play in our backyard...what a fun day!
