dylan's 2nd birthday party

a day with the mini sotos

yesterday, i spent the day with not one, but two mini sotos! it was definitely an exciting day. i'm so used to being just with julianna and i didn't realize how calm my house is with just a 3 month old. add a 1 year old to the picture and that equals a lot more excitement! we talked, we laughed, we danced, we ate, we slept (a little bit), and they cried. when shandi came to pick up her micro mini monster (dylan) she brought me lots of formula samples. she's an awesome sister-in-law!! thank you, shandi!!

back from the beach

Josh, Julianna, and I made it safely back home last night from our amazing beach trip with the family. We rented a HUGE condo in North Myrtle Beach. It had 7 bedrooms and 5 and half bathrooms, 2 living rooms, dining room, kitchen, laundry room... the works! It was very nice! It was really fun getting together with all of Josh's family for vacation.

Julianna had a great time too! She went on the beach and in the water for the very first time. It was so hot that Julianna only stayed for about 30 minutes on Sunday, 30 minutes on Monday, and 30 minutes on Tuesday. She had her very own little sun protection tent.



On the first night there, Ashley's boyfriend Derrick proposed on the beach!!! What an awesome way to start vacation! Josh and I are so happy for Ashley and Derrick. Also, Dylan turned one year old on Tuesday! He also took many steps on Wednesday right before we left. Such excitement!!

We had an amazing trip and just didn't want it to end but the real world was calling! Also, enjoy the video below of Julianna's first serenade!
