As our Grammy from Utah went from The Smith's home to ours, we met up at Fashion Island for some yummy lunch and Gracey entertainment.

I will forever be grateful to Rob's mom for being at our home that week. She loved on our babies, so that we could be there for our best friends. I can't thank you enough Mama May.




Making a Wish


Singing and Dancing. There was no stopping her!

Love that sweet face!

Dining Room Makeover


Before we even bought this house I had a vision for this dining room. In my mind, this was a waste of a room. We might eat in here maybe 4 times a year. So, while Rob was in Indo and we were all in Utah, this back wall was torn open and the carpet ripped out. This is the best pre construction picture I have.
#1- because we never used this room!!!
#2- forgot to snap a pic before we left town.



Doors and Slate in



The doors turned out amazing! They fold up and open this entire wall. Love my new sun room! Now for some furniture!

From my Garden

Eclipse


Along with every teen in North County we anxiously awaited the premiere of Eclipse. I look forward to any night I can get out with some of my favorite people.

We made ice cream runs, played trivia, drank an insane amount of diet coke and even made some new friends!

Blessing Eliot

After Granny's 100th Birthday party, we made our way south to LA for the blessing of baby Eliot Smith. Erinn and Andrew are sweet parents and have such an angel baby. I loved getting some snuggle time with this little guy.


Beautiful Mama

My kids love their Uncle Garrett!


...on the run...

The girls. Sydnee,Gracey, Aunt Whitney

Ha ha. This is our baby cage. Beckham was destroying our hotel room and this was my solution.

100 YEARS



Rob's great grandma turned "100" last month. We drove up to Santa Barbara to celebrate!

Papa and baby Eliot

Gracey loved playing with her little cousin Lexy.


Admiring Eliot.


Grammy can't say "no"!!!





Best buddies!

Gracey's First Dance Recital!





Gracey has loved her dance class. Her teacher Miss Olivia is adorable and she has made some cute little friends.

Gracey remembered her whole dance and their performance was darling. Gracey is shy around strangers and is not a performer, so this was definitely out of her comfort zone. I am proud of her for being so brave and more than anything, I am glad she had such a fun experience.

IPad and Skull Candy... Life is good!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day= The perfect day
Loved having Rob home on a Monday
Fun pool day with the Harris' and Garrett.
Yummy Mexican Food

Beach Fun!

We can never get enough beach days! I am so very excited for summer!

Beckham is obsessed with pulling and pushing things. This is what kept him entertained today!

I have actually found time for some projects lately. My sweet friend Mariah had a little boy this month and I painted this for his nursery. I also did some pretty fun art work on a few of Rob's surfboards that accompanied him to Indonesia this year.

While this boy is getting barreled in Indonesia, we decided to have some fun of our own! I packed up the kids and flew to Utah to visit Grammy and Papa May. Luckily the flight is short because my Beckham is a busy boy! Here are some of the fun things we did:
Gracey ate her very first "smores"
Chilren's Museum in Salt Lake
Came home with some lovelies from J Crew
Some great runs up Slate Canyon
A day with the Kennedy Family
The Aquarium
Sleepovers with Linny
Lots of special family time!!!


Beckham loves Max. I'm not convinced the feelings are mutual.

Lots of park fun!


While in Utah we had the opportunity to attend Amelia's Princess and the Frog Dance Recital. The costumes were adorable and the girls had so much fun together.


Cute fire fly costumes! Amelia did such a great job!!!

Monkey's jumping on the bed!

Amelia playing with her Birthday present.

Yummy Snow cones!

Pink Frosting and Sprinkles. What more could a girl want?

We had such a wonderful week in Utah, and we all loved getting spoiled!
