Lately...

We have been keeping pretty busy! It has been way too long since I posted so I thought I would just give a little update on our lives lately. Emsley dropped her first nap and I have loved it! I was nervous that it would be hard transitioning to only having 2 hours where she is asleep but honestly it has been great. It gives us the freedom to get out and spend time together and with other people. We usually go to Target multiple times a week to just walk around, the zoo every other week, and sometimes Disneyland. We also go on a walk with friends every Thursday and another playdate usually too.

This summer, a few moms from church got passes to Splash! That is a mini Raging Waters and today was the first day we went and it was awesome!! Emsley didn't get fussy but just held on tight to me and was taking it all in. After taking a break to warm up and relax, we went back in and Emsley was back to her normal self, smiling at everyone and splashing around. It was so great! I'm looking forward to a great summer with some other moms and their kids. The women that go are amazing ladies and I love having a great community of women who are in the same place as me in life to connect and bond with.

We have a busy summer coming up as a family too! Mike still has every other Friday off so we always take advantage of that. Pool time, park, long walks, we went to the San Diego Fair last week. We plan  on going to the San Diego Zoo with Mike's aunt and uncle soon and we can't wait. Mike's birthday is in July so we will be having a fun time celebrating his 32nd birthday. We are also celebrating our 7th anniversary in Oahu, just the three of us from August 4-6 and then heading over to the Big Island to meet up with my parents and sister's family for my parent's 30th anniversary. Should be fun and we are looking forward to getting away!

Loving life right now and love our little one. She is so sweet and fun! Everyone says that things get hard when kids start to walk and climb but truthfully, things just get more fun! Well...here is a picture of Emsley...she is getting so big!
