Summer Days


I am not usually someone who would say summer is my favorite season. And that is because of one big reason, my sensitive skin (aka heat rash central). But Bryan and I are so enjoying our summer weekends. We were just recently driving home from an Angel game with the windows down talking about how summer nights are unlike anything else. I suppose I like summer in the evening, which is when I am less likely to break out into hives :). Here are some moments from summer thus far....

Lukey's first date with my friend Brittney's daughter, Emma. They loved each other.

Angel game...(Bryan and I got a "mini-pack" this season :))


Sunset cruise around Newport Harbor with Tracy & Joe....

Cheers to more fun summer days with my wonderful husband, Bryan!

Newlyweds in Old Towne Orange!

Bryan and I are SO enjoying living in Old Towne Orange and being newlyweds :) We love to have date nights each weekend....here are some photos capturing our breakfasts in the circle, lunches out, baseball games, and homemade dinners!





Homemade panini and BBQ chicken salad.....


Double Trouble!

I just LOVE being an Auntie.....We have the most beautiful nephews ever!!! Bryan and I are so excited to share some photos of some fun moments in time with the Bower Boys! It has been amazing to see their different personalities shine through. They are BFFs!!!










Friday Fundays!

It has been some time since I last blogged. A new resolution: blog more!! So starting today I will try and make it a weekly effort. But first, I need to take more pictures so I can tell a story not only with my words but with images as well! First is first, here are some pics of my Friday “fun days” the past few months with my nephew, Luke which were some of the most amazing moments in my life, truly. It is quite magical to experience instants like that with your nephews…

With Friday “fun days” now coming to an end (but they never truly will, we will always keep dancing each week Lukey); I will perhaps initiate “Tia times” (just thought of that one :)) with the twins, Mateo and Patrick which I will document as well.


Here are some photos from my adventures with Lukey, next post will feature the TWINS, Mateo & Patrick!









Picture above: Yes, those are shorts on his head.....I didn't have a hat and he is a little toe-head so out of protection I had to improvise! lol....he seems okay with it :)

We can now officially be called THE LLOYDS!

The past month has been an amazing whirlwind of pure goodness. I am often laughed at when my response to the question, “how was the wedding” is “magical”. Cheesy as it may be, it truly was just that; the day was full of beautiful moments, where we wish we could “pause” life like a dvr and bask in the magic. Some of our special moments are:
1. The intimacy of our ceremony. Pastor Tom made it as if we were just there with him, yet at the same time having the support and foundation of our loved ones lifting us up in the audience.

2. Walking down the aisle seeing each other; simply thrilling.

3. Our big entrance: it is indescribable the feeling you get when the entire room’s energy is loving and electric, a high that cannot be matched.

4. Our first dance. A moment we have been dreaming about for a long time….
5. The speeches! Tracy’s was so heart wrenching and beautiful, makes me tear up when I think of it. Jeff’s was a perfect duet of humorous tales and poignant moments. My dad’s was comical with his “Cheers to Allie and Tracy” yet so heartfelt and sincere.

6. The video montage—this was so well done by Cathy and Bob! It was simply perfect from the songs to the pictures….it truly captured a window into our lives and something that we will keep forever.

7. The party! Bryan and I had so much fun dancing the night away. We keep talking about how we want to re-live that night over and over again.

8. Seeing our adorable nephews in their fancy outfits—Great job boys! Luke, Patrick and Mateo all deserve a round of applause—that is a lot of people and a lot of stimulation and they were angels!

9. Everyone involved; our guests, our family, and our friends. Without you all the day would not have been as magical. THANK YOU!!!!


Enjoy some pictures that highlight the BIG day. I'll also post the link to the professional photos once those are ready :)…..
