oh my sunshine, sha la la la la

when the weather is perfect

when the agenda is free

when you have the best little friend

pack your lunch and go enjoy the beach.

a summer afternoon

summer in california is perfection. a hot day is 80 degrees.

sitting out on our balcony with some paint and some bubbles, of course, you can't help but feeling like life is good... especially when you're hanging with this girl

all american girl.

happy be-lated 4th of july!

a word from the big sister

she still insists it's a sister.

last night she even said, "I don't want a brother, I want a sister"

I told her she'll be glad to get to keep all her princess stuff to herself ;)

a girl and her daddy.

little lady loves her daddy and wants to do whatever he does.

every little girl needs to know how to tie on a surf board leash.

it's just so ella!

when you see a pink chair with elephants on it you can't walk away from it.

it's too perfectly ella.

we had to get it.

and now she has a perfect little place to hang out, read books, or watch a favorite movie.

[great little find at a great little store we recently discovered called homeGoods.]

there are no words.

this girl...

seriously, this girl!

we often ask ourselves, "who is she?!?!" and "where the heck did she come from?!?!"

silliest little sandy beach babe.
