Crystal Cove Beach

We are here in California loving the Beach, Sun, and Water! It is so fun to have all my siblings here with their families! The cousins love each other so much and are having a blast! All we need is Nana & Papa! We are missing you and talk of all the fun times that are ahead, only one year from tomorrow and it's play time! We will keep you posted as the week goes on, we love and miss you! Here is to a week of California Fun! Spencer and his cousin Tommy have been having so much fun! They loved the sand and running away from the ocean! They are two cute kids!

Hannah- Bear building her sand castles!

Spencer is covering Abbers feet! They were so cute playing in the sand

Todd covering Spencer; and then Spencer having to use all his superpowers to get out of the sand! It turned into an instant hit with him and the kids!

Our little angel's first beach experience! She was great, played in the sand and then snuggled up with her Aunt Lizzy and slept for an hour or so! She is so cute in her little swimmer, she is getting so big, I can't stand it!

Abby and her cousin Alex. They enjoyed sitting together and eating as much sand as possible!

Daddy's Girl!

Abby and her dad! She melts his heart and she is just so kissable! Abby has gotten so big and is crawling all over the place and getting into everything. She makes the cutest faces and is a happy little thing. Her newest baby tricks include:

1.Clapping her hands on command, to cute!

2. Crawling on top of her brother, they have been enjoying little mini wrestling matches. (I don't think I have a future ballerina:)

3. She puts in her Binky upside down whenever she put it in.

4. She can pull herself up on furniture

5. Giggles at her brother and is ticklish everywhere. I love her belly laughs!

6. Has a new tooth and more to come!

7. Gives the best open mouth kisses!

She is such a sweet and fun baby girl and we all melt and love her so much! Good Job Abby on all your baby tricks!

UNDER CONTRACT!

We are so excited our cute house in St. George is under contract and set to close July 10. We are crossing our fingers that everything goes smoothly from here on out. We loved and hated that house! We loved it when we were going to be living in it, but hated it once we ended up staying in Salt Lake. So we are so glad with the slow market and everything we were able to finally make some progress with it! So hopefully everything will go great and we will be onto the next house!

Todd's Birthday!

We have been busy celebrating this week! We have had our niece and nephew Aspen and Dylen staying with us from St. George. We have had a ton of fun playing with them and all of our Larson cousins this week! We had a great BBQ for Todd to bring in his 32 year! I was so excited when I was able to find this fun addition to our party. The kids of course were in Heaven jumping all night long......

Spencer still wakes up wanting his bounce house castle! (so do I) It was so fun to watch them jump around. Dylen and Aspen slept in the bounce house until 3:30 when the sprinklers went off, sorry guys!

Our little Abbers swinging in her swing watching all her cousins being crazy. She also got her first tooth on dad's birthday! What a great gift Abbers!

All the Larson cousins together for the first time in a long time! Yeah for family, we love all of you so much and we loved playing with you this week! We can't wait for more fun times ahead!

Nana and Papa Larson making a great funny face with all

So.. I can SEW

This is the pink flower rag quilt in all it's glory!

So I am taking my crafting to the next level. My wonderful sister taught me how to sew last weekend, and I finished my first blanket. It is adorable and was so fun to make, if I do say so myself. There will be many more quilts, blankets, pillows, and apron projects to come. Thanks again liz, you know I need another project!! Ha Ha Ha! My senior year when I was going through a rough time I turned to crafts as an escape, and have never turned back. I used to tell my mom that my motto was "Craft and Values". We ( the royal we; my mom, sister and I) have continued to live to that motto, but hopefully my values keep up with the amount of crafts:)
