What a year!

growing up

This summer we took the children on a little adventure to San Diego. We took in a baseball game at Padres Petco Stadium since the dbacks where there. Perfect for young children.

I love her little haircut. We took 5-6 inches off of it.

Learning how to drive at such a young age. her brother in-tow.

Such the little baseball player,right?

OK, so she loves to play soccer, but you couldn't tell by her frown. What 3 yr old doesn't like their photo taken?

July

Dylan really loves his big sister! I actually caught Addison holding him while they watched a movie the other day. Dylan's other favorite....Zoi, the dog!

Watch out.. He's crawling and pulling himself up everywhere.

Kauai...OH I wish we had a 2nd home there

I know, there are so many beautiful places in the world to visit. But why mess with a good thing? So this blog is supposed to be about the children. But we did NOT take the children on this vacation. That is WHy it WAS a vacation for us. Happy Birthday to Chris! not a bad way to spend it. Back to Kauai.
We kayaked the ocean. And, by far, it was one of the greatest things we've done.

LOVE this place. Now if I could just talk Chris into purchasing a condo here. HA!

View from our room. We were ON the beach. The ONLY way to travel.

Summer has begun

Summer is here and Addy wanted to go to the Tempe Beach Park to play on the splash pad/park. Well, she did until a ton of children showed up and then she just sat next to me as shy as can be. This child is painfully shy around a lot of children. Dylan, at 7 months, could care less. He had fun splashing and kicking in the water.

Addy showing off her cute outfit. She "lubs" pinks.

Only MY brother would have an old fashion Ranch Wedding, complete with a blow up obstacle course. And YES, we all had a blast playing in it.

Addy was a flower girl and was NOT happy about it. Let's just say she would not cooperate.

Easter at the Park

Spring Time Photos

This week we went to the South Mountain Farm and took some photos of Addison and Dylan together. We also visited the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the butterflies and the glass sculptures for yiayia bears birthday.

dylan's first haircut at 4 months

So at 4 months of age, Dylan has begun to lose almost all of his nice dark hair. I see the peach fuzz blonde coming in underneath. However, he has managed to gain the newborn bald spot in the back and it created a little mullet. So we asked Grandma Keith to trim a little off the back and side.

GO CUBS!

GOT DROOL?

Addy and Zoi fell asleep on the kitchen floor. I guess they were too tired to make it to the couch or the bedroom.
