Newport Beach!!!!

OUR FAVORITE PLACE...

Last weekend we went to Newport Beach for a 4 day excursion. My parents came with us for fun and HELP!!! We loved the hotel, it had an amazing pool area that had pool tables, ping pong table, and a life size checker/chess set. Robert and I were able to go for a run on the coast it was perfect weather. We walked beaches, shopped and tried to take family pics. When you have 6 people with 4 children the pictures don't always come out the way you want but I will take what I can get. We had so much fun, Clayton said "This is the best day of my life." Hopefully he can eventualy top this weekend but it was pretty fun.

Ella is starting to get more brave in the water but still refuses to swim by herself.

Clayton our little fish.

Only at the beach does a chocolate/vanilla swirled ice cream in a waffle cone sound soooo good.

Blessing Ryder

Ryder finally was blessed. He was 3 months old but the other months didn't work out so he almost walked up there but that is ok. He is such a sweet little boy and we love having him in our family. I loved the words Robert was inspired to say about our little man. He is truely a treasure in our life.
