Celebrating our independence

I LOVE the 4th of July! next to Christmas it is my FAVORITE holiday! We were so close to dropping everything and making our way to my family's reunion in Utah this weekend, but after thinking long and hard we decided to just stay put for the fourth of July weekend. We did some shopping, went to the beach,and accomplished going to the movies with Kailah again. Saturday we made our way down to Irvine to visit friends from our old ward and celebrate with them. that afternoon we were invited to a bbq with people in our new ward, so that was fun to get to know some new people in our neighborhood. I think it will be just a matter of time before we start really feeling settled here in Newbury Park, we still love and miss Irvine.
Kailah looked so dang cute on the fourth of July so we took a bunch of pictures, Im posting a lot of pics of her, cause all her little faces are so funny and cute! she is talking a lot now...just ahhh's and oooh's of coarse, but we just love hearing her sweet little voice, and we just sit and laugh and smile. she loves sitting up and looking around. I forget sometimes that she's still just a tiny little baby cause she's so aware of what's going on and I think all her hair makes her look older. the other day someone asked if she was crawling, I said; "ummm...she's only 3 months." don't babies start crawling when they are like 8 months??? Anyways i've seen a few brand new babies lately and Kailah is starting to look so big next to them. I can't believe how much she has grown in 3 months!!! wow! Kai also LOVES being outside. everytime she's in her stroller outside or were walking to the park or going to the beach and she feels the wind she just loves it and she starts ooohing and aaahhing. I wish you all could hear it. it's so cute!
