Last night right before bed Nikki’s 2nd tooth fell out. Bret helped it a little bit. The tooth had been loose for a really long time. I am sure it is a relief it is out so now she doesn’t have to worry about it while eating.

Justin was a little sad that none of his have come out yet but he was really happy for his sister, what a sweet little boy.

Summer is just flying by. The kids are so into Lego Ninjago these days and have almost wanted to stay home just to play it. Overall the kiddos have been playing really well together.

We recently went on an RV trip. We went to Acton, Northridge, and Malibu. The beach was the best part of the trip. The kids loved the RV. I read so much about Acton but it turned out to be disappointing so we moved to Northridge. Too funny as this is something I would do….Bret got the dates wrong and he thought we were going to Malibu first instead of last. Oops we had to drive another 120 miles to Acton. Luckily the kids were happy playing on all the electronics, ipad, Nintendo DS’s, etc. The Acton campground was just ok. The kids used pedal tractor things but they were too hard to petal for long. We went on a hike and found firewood for our campfire in Malibu, plus tried to figure out why there were a few old rusty trailers parked in the hiking area. We hiked to the train tracks which was no fun hearing in the middle of the night. The campground showed the movie Finding Nemo on the outdoor screen but the kiddos weren’t too into the movie so we didn’t watch it that long. The next day we ended up moving to Northridge rather than staying in Acton. The campground at Northridge was very simple but we had a much better time there. We did end up walking over to the mall though and getting Red Robin for dinner. The campground had a pool so we had fun swimming together. Then it was off to Malibu. We had a great time just hanging out and playing. The kids used bowls and spoons in the sand where they were pretending to be chefs and taking our orders. It was really cute. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows that night-definitely what camping is all about. All in all it was a nice trip and great to be together as a family. Here are the pics:

We went to the next door neighbor’s, Sophia’s 2nd birthday party. They had a bounce house and anĀ  awesome water slide-the kids had so much fun on it as you can see from the pictures:
