Kirk and I used to live in Las Vegas. It's funny because it seems like another life time ago although it's only been about 2 years. We laugh about how 2 beach living, outdoor loving people could have ended up in such a dry and hot desert.
While we are so stoked to live in San Clemente, we still miss a lot of things about Vegas. There are SO many amazing places to eat, shop and visit, but most importantly, these are the people we miss the most:
Brock, Sloan, Jill and Skyler. We miss Jimmy a lot too but he's just not here in the picture. It was the sweetest thing in the world to see how much all of our family out there loved seeing Malia. It was like she was the guest of honor! I used to think I was pretty cool, but now my daughter trumps all coolness that I might have had:)
Here is Malia with her big cousin Sky. They are in love with each other! Skyler likes to play school and Malia is one of her "students" in her class. I loved seeing Malia's name on the roll, her seat and her grades. I guess Malia is quite the good student. So glad to hear!I only wish these two girls could live down the street from each other so they could play all the time. I know we would absolutely love it!
On Saturday (10/16) Malia turned 3 months old! Here is the proud daddy with his pumpkin. She cracks me up with her personality. She is so giggly and happy and smiles some of the time (mostly in the mornings and during bath time, play time etc.) but a lot of the time she is so somber and serious. She is an old soul. I think our daughter is going to be the one telling us what we need to do. She'll probably be the parent before too long!So anyway, above is my serious-still sporting a Mr. Maggoo look-baby girl on her 3 month birthday.
Okay, I have seen a lot of cute pictures, but I think this one takes the cake for ultimate cuteness! I couldn't believe how much baby Sloan (we call him baby Sloan although he is almost 4) loved his little cousin! He wanted to hold her all the time, love her and spend time with her. He was fascinated by her crying, diaper changing, and just about everything.Malia is so lucky to have a big cousin that will be her best friend one day.
Yeah, ultimate cuteness again
Traveling with a new baby was a new adventure for us. Luckily Vegas is not across the country. With that said, it still seemed like a long trek. What used to take us 4 hours to drive with minimal stops with just Kirk and me, now takes 6-7 hours depending on how Malia is cooperating. She used to love sleeping all day long in the car but now gets a bit uncomfortable and grumpy if she's in her car seat too long. After fussing for a while and supplying her with all the toys, binkies, blankies, mirrors, music and shaking we could provide, this is how she ended up half way through the drive. She got quiet and fell asleep- sucking on her Sophie Giraffe's leg. It was hilarious, at least to me.
Getting out to stretch our legs was quite nice, especially since the weather was absolutely perfect this weekend! 80's during the day, 70's at night. We were able to eat icecream with Jimmy and Jill in our shorts after dinner. We watched the fight at the Frehners' while lounging in the spa. Vegas this time of year is awesome!
Alright, this wraps up the blogging for now, peace out!
