“a portrait of Ezra, once a week…every week, in 2015.”
He felt safe and more comfortable in the little pool he made on the beach.

The second half of our 10 year anniversary trip was spent in Newport Beach. The last few times that we’ve visited CA…..I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time with a few new sweet friends and their families. They are so refreshing and so good for my soul. Whale watching California is a popular thing for tourists to do, and it’s no wonder why. Good times! I love seeing Ezra with little friends….it’s so sweet to see kids engage and play, freely. They don’t approach friendships like adults do, at times. They are happy to see another person their size and they welcome them in. No judgment. None of that “what can you do for me” attitude. It’s pure. It’s lovely. Truly encouraging. Of course we hit up In-N-Out…..and Sidecar Doughnuts….a time or two. HA! We enjoyed the sunshine, walks on the beach and did a little shopping, as always Ezra made out like a bandit! Oh, and momma may or may not have popped into Sids Tattoo shop. Good times! Our trip was super fun…..loved every moment. Here’s a peek into the second half of our trip! OH! But first….. Our must-eat/drink list from our trip: Bear Flag [best fish tacos!] Sidecar Doughnuts [made from scratch doughnuts and they serve Stumptown Coffee!], Nekter Juice Bar, El Matador [yummy mexican food], Milk & Honey [fabulous ACAI bowls] & Haute Cakes Caffe [best breakfast with outdoor seating]
// …& some iPhone photos, because carrying around the BIG camera isn’t always fun on vacation.
HAPPY EASTER, FRIENDS! Easter is such a special weekend for our family…..and it’s such an honor to be part of the amazing events that our church, Fresh Life, puts their heart and soul into. On Good Friday we have a Skull Church event and on Easter Sunday we come together at the Majestic Valley Arena. Hours and hours are put into this very weekend by some incredible staff and volunteers…..so it tends to be a busy one for us, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. A highlight of our weekend was when one of our baristas from Red Caboose stood up at Pastor Levis invitation to accept Christ. Oh my goodness! Chills and tears! This sight never gets old to me….and when it’s someone that is dear to your heart, it takes it to a whole new level. Im so proud of this girl….and thankful for all the bold invitations that were given to her, year after year, while working for us. God is so faithful….as we continue to trust Him with our lives. This was such an encouragement to my heart as we continue to pray for others near and dear to us who need Jesus desperately. Ezra, of course looked like a little dapper man…..and so did my husband. I love boys so very much and I have so much to be thankful for.
“a portrait of Ezra, once a week…every week, in 2015.” I absolutely LOVE the new tee design that we just launched in the Kelli & Vanessa Everyday Goods shop! I think it’s a great addition to our Love Writes A Beautiful Story line of tees and sweatshirts. Our friend Chase hand illustrated this for us….and we can’t get enough of this geometric heart shaped design. For a limited time only……snag one of these for yourself before they are gone! Shop HERE.
