Uncle Ryan is in Town!

Taste of Chicago. Uncle Ryan trying to get a kiss... London not having it.


London is wearing a Starlight Mints T-shirt that Uncle Ryan got her.
Brothers.


We had a great time visiting with Uncle Ryan. Eric saw his show Monday night, and London and Mommy got to see him Tuesday morning and afternoon. We had breakfast at Porto's and lunch at Taste of Chicago. A lot of eating with Uncle Ryan :)

Glad we were able to see him as much as we did, London was so excited!

Sorry the pics are not so clear, we desperately need a new camera!

Love you all,

Swimming Videos

In this first Video, we see London finally letting go of holding onto mommy and taking the risk of swimming by herself. Her BFF Cameron is an old pro!



In this next Video, if you listen closely, when London swims towards Rachel she says, "Look at me Ewan!" So cute!



Hope everyone is getting to stay cool!!

Rachel, Eric, and Ms. London :)

Swimming!

Found a critter!

BFF Cameron. This little girl was born to be in the water!!! Watch out Michael Phelps!


We have been enjoying swimming at our good friends, the Tatly's, the past few weeks.
London will begin swim class this week, which we'll for sure post pics of!
She's really getting brave in the water and having a great time!

She also likes to clean the pool by finding all the little creatures that have unfortunately made their way to the water. London rescues them :) The June Bugs are her favorite!

Enjoy the pics!

Natural History Museum "Butterfly Exhibit"

London couldn't help but want to catch the butterflies, we had to tell her to do the "one finger" rule :)




Yes, the sucker has a cricket in it and its going into her mouth! She was so happy!


We had a great time going to the Natural History Museum this past Friday. London loves the bug exhibit they have there, as well as seeing all the animals.

They currently have a special butterfly exhibit going on. If you are visiting California before Sept. or live here, we highly recommend you going to experience this exhibit. It was pretty amazing. Butterflies were flying all around us. Landing on our clothes, our hair.... London was in Heaven :)

London has been requesting a bug sucker ever since she first saw one, you know the suckers that have real bugs in the center, well, she finally got her request. We went into the gift shop and Daddy bought her one. She was thrilled, mommy on the other hand almost lost her lunch and couldn't handle it.

Enjoy the pics and video!

London Video's

This first video is of London talking into the fan. She loves this! Rachel showed her this and she can't get enough of it. She loves hearing her voice.




Here is another video of her talking on the phone. She loves to talk on the phone. We will hear her talking and walk in the room, and she'll have this red phone in her hand talking away.

Mommy turns 32!

Birthday Cupcake! Red Velvet.
London wanted sprinkles!
Mommy getting some smooches at Chili's
Touching the beautiful birds in hopes that they won't poo on our heads!


She couldn't get enough of touching the sharks.

Sting Rays, we had to come back to this for a second round of touching!

It was a great birthday. We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, we hadn't been there since London was around 1.5. She had a great time touching the sharks, sting rays, and star fish. It made the birthday even more special just seeing how excited and happy she was.

We then had a birthday lunch at Chili's. OF COURSE! Mommy loves those boneless buffalo wings ;)

Later after naps, we all three took one, we went and got special cupcakes from a new bakery in Burbank. London hugged her mommy and said, "happy birthday mommy, I am so happy its your birthday!"

The evening was nice with some grilling and a movie.

Thank you all for the cards, and phone calls!

Ewan is growing. We have between 8 and 10 weeks to go!
Spent a lovely afternoon at the Americana in Glendale.

Oma and London making a huge hole for London to crawl into.


There was a cool breeze this morning at the beach, and it was overcast which made it a bit chilly at times.
Another day grilling.
Oma figuring out the I Touch.


We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Oma and Opa came to visit from Oklahoma. It was a really nice treat. We had been missing them bunches, it had been over 7 months since we'd seen them last. That's way too long!!
London soaked up a lot of quality grandparents time, and they soaked up a lot of London :)

Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Miss and love you all!
