unexpected date night

 The other night so took Eden to practice and it happened to be close to Kit’s office. He met me there and we had a little time sitting and watching Eden’s practice and talking…

I love every chance I get to spend with this man…

scrapbooking rhythm

 Every January, I print out my favorite photos from the previous holiday seasons and spend time scrapbooking the memories!

It makes me so happy to look through the books that I make.

A new toy!

 We love drinking coffee and making fun coffee drinks. I found out about this espresso maker that you use on your stove top. It has even been listed under camping coffee makers. So Kit and I found a really reasonable one on Amazon and have been loving it! Our tiny Yeti espresso cups now have a time to shine…❤️

Snapshots from a weekend…

 While Ryder was at an MUN conference:

Eden had a beach run with her team and then had a date with her dad:

I’ve been sick so we had church at home. Sunday was low-key…

The weekend was full of good things. We are so grateful for what God has invited us into and ways we get to do life…

Gina’s main activity this last weekend…

 I sure know how to party on a Saturday…😉Lots of babies bring lots of joy!

cheering for our favorite waterpolo player

This week we got to support and cheer on our Hazie Rose! She is the most beautiful human being inside and out but when she gets in the water, she’s an absolute BEAST! She got the winning goal against a local rival. Way to go San Clemente!

A Crystal Cove New Years!

We were able to score one of the Crystal Cove cottages from January 1-3! It’s been a bucket list item for our family to stay there and it was magical. It’s one of our favorite local beaches and we were thrilled to be able to start the new year with this family adventure!

We stayed in cottage #36, which we quickly learned was one of the best ones!

We enjoyed meals at the Beachcomber:

We walked to the beach and tide pools:

We grabbed food at the Shake Shack and enjoyed the lights:

We spent time at the cottage:

Our time was precious. It was an INCREDIBLE way to kick off the year!
