This past weekend we went to Sea World! It was so much fun (and a lot of work!) The kids loved it! We arrived in San Diego on Saturday and spent a few hours at Sea World and stayed Saturday night at a hotel and went back to Sea World on Sunday. Preston loved Shamu and the sharks. Ella's favorite were the penguins. Preston also loved touching the sting rays and the starfish. Aaden was such a good baby. He was perfectly happy the whole time!My parents came with us so the kids also loved spending time with their "Mama" and "Bumpa"!! It was a great weekend, but we were all exhausted when we got home. I think we are all still trying to recover!!

Our Summer
I finally decided to start a blog! I'm so excited to be able to share our lives with family and friends. A few of my friends have blogs and I thought it was such a good idea. Especially since we have family all over the place! So here is a quick update on our summer and some fun pictures!
Of course the newest member of our family, Aaden Mark, arrived May 22. He is such a good baby! Preston and Ella are so excited to have a baby brother. It is so much fun to watch them love on him all the time! Preston also went to his first Vacation Bible School! This was huge for him because he doesn't get to be around other kids very often (because of his deadly food allergy).His Grandma went with him to supervise and make sure he was o.k. He made it through the whole week without any major reactions! God definitely had His hand on him! Ella is just adorable. She has enjoyed swimming with her Daddy and Preston. Mike takes them swimming at least three times a week. She loves jumping in to him. Next summer Mike is going to have three little ones to watch!
On the way to the hospital!
