Celebrating O's Birthday with the Decker's

We had the chance to celebrate Olivia's birthday while the Decker's were here. We got Olivia a cupcake cake shaped in the number 4. It came with a crown and wand. She loved it.

Uncle Todd loved the crown and wand as well.


Opening her presents. She loved the outfits.

Big girl now!

Sea World

We went with the Decker's to Sea World in San Diego. It was a great day! Very warm and not a huge amount of people. Olivia loved the shows and the water rides. It's so awesome we live 15 minutes from it and can go anytime!

The Decker's Visit!!

Our first official visitors in our new house in San Diego were my sister, brother-in-law and O's and Charley's cousins. They stayed with us a week and what a week it was! Whirlwind touring of some San Diego's best attractions, tons of swimming in the backyard pool and general cousin bonding. I needed a vacation after the Decker's vacation! So happy they are only a day's drive away now! Our first stop...Legoland.

Me and O riding the coaster together. Of course she loved it!

Fieg Family Reunion-Breckenridge, CO

In July, we were fortunate enough to meet Justin's mom's family for a reunion in Breckenridge, CO. If you have never been to Colorado or more specifically, Breckenridge, then make it a priority. I have only been there in the summer and it is ridiculously beautiful. Justin has been to Breck twice to ski and says it is even better in winter. We rented a big house for all 16 of us and it was a blast! Next year, San Diego!

The house we rented. A perfect size for our clan.


The cousins.

The cousins' kids. Still debating if this is second cousins or first cousins once removed.


Beautiful Breckenridge.

Our nightly visitor. He would sit and watch us eat dinner. Savage little beast.
