The many faces of Oliver
This one was all him
Karate moves
I told him to show me his lover boy face, haha
I'm not sure what's going on here but it looks a little like excitement
Loving on Amelie as usual. I have to say that I love 4 year old Oliver. There's just something amazing about reasoning with a child. Being able to explain why he can't have something and him saying "oh, ok mom. I see that". I love that Ollie tells me he loves me at least a dozen times a day. My mom asks Oliver why he loves me so much the other day and he said "Cause she's cute". That kid is seriously going to be a heart breaker. I have never seen someone so excited about all the small things in life. I'm so happy I have another year at home with him before he's officially a big boy.

I could seriously kiss this mischievous little face all day long. Ami has gotten to be the funniest little thing. She is talking so much these days I can't believe it. I think she's actually speaking more spanish than english and her favorite word is "vamanos"! She can name all the features on her face in spanish and english. What a little smartie this girl is. If you try and take something she thinks is hers, she yells "mines" at you. It's hilarious. The minute music comes on, no matter when or what kind, she is dancing. The girls got moves.
A lady who was with her teenage daughter stopped me today at the store and I seriously saw them coming cause the minute I saw her daughter I thought she looked just like Ami fast forward 15 years. Well the minute I thought that, her mom gasped and I could see she was being taken back in time to when her little girl was small. She said that her daughter looked just like Ami. It was this funny connection I felt to her in that moment. Like maybe I could ask "how can I make time stop" and she could ask me "can I go back in time please"? I thought we were both going to cry:) It was just one of those moments I wanted to pick up my chubby almost toddler and never let her go. 
Only can you find a bus stop quite so stylish in Laguna:) I love gallavanting around town with my Laura Linny. She is so much fun, I can't get enough of her. I can't wait for her to finish school and find a sweet job in sunny CA:)
The gorgeous watermill. I'm telling you the ambiance of this place, with the running water, smell of kettlecorn, live band, and glow of lights under a green canopy, it's enough to make me set up my own little corner of bunkbeds to sleep there.
All the little shops set up by each artist, whether it be jewelry, paintings, or pottery. Walking into the sawdust festival is like walking back in time. I love the way it feels and smells, it's really enchanting.
Ryan decided to walk down to the beach while we browsed. We were waiting for the Pageant of the Masters to start and man oh man, was it cool. I was not at all dissapointed this year. The theme was "Only Make Believe" and it was very inspired. I can't wait to take Ollie one day. He would really get a kick out of all of this artsy stuff and the live symphony.
