Hillman's Visit/Happy Birthday Lauren!!!!

A few weeks ago, the Hillman family came to visit.  Julie and the girls drove out from AZ to spend a few days on the beach with us, we had a wonderful time together!!  The kids love, love, love going to the beach, I think we could have just stayed there for the whole 4 days and they wouldn't have complained a bit.

The fog rolled in, but that didn't stop the kids from playing for a few more hours.  Crazy kiddos, it got quite cold!


While they were here, Lauren had her birthday!!!!  I can't believe my baby is 4 years old!  My amazing neighbor, Amy made her this Dora cake.  It was so awesome we almost didn't want to cut it...almost :)
 It was so nice to have the Hillman's here to help us celebrate!  Lauren had been looking forward to her birthday for months an d she was so excited when it finally came!


 Among other things, she got a new bike!!  Abby and Stacia told her it was from the two of them and to this day when you ask her who gave her the bike she says "The Hillman's"  She loves it and wants to ride it all the time.  She is such a wonderful part of our family!  She is a little spitfire and she knows what she wants, she can throw a mean tantrum when she wants too, but she is also so loving and gives the best hugs!! Happy Birthday Lauren, we love you soooooo much!
