Beach Blast!

Yesterday, we decided to escape the Central Valley heat by going to the coast. So we packed the van - literally - with our bikes, equipment, kites, towels, extra clothes, and food and headed to Cayucos and Morro Bay. We ended up having a blast. Lily, too!

One step closer

TO BEING DIAPER FREE!








Daniel made the transition from diapers to pull-ups yesterday. We are so proud of him! So far he's been really enjoying it, too. Yay!

Preying Mantis Fun!

The boys and I found something very interesting just hanging around our front porch yesterday morning. It was a cool looking bug!

Bring Out The Trumpet

This morning Adam brought out his old trumpet, wiped off the dust and cobwebs, and played a few tunes for the boys. Then he showed them a trick or two. Micah did a really good job for being 4 years old and never playing before. He actually carried a note or two.

More of Daniel's BD and Sticky Situations...

Thanks Joanna for the pictures!


Mmm...
Mom's spaghetti is my favorite.

Random Funness! Is that a word?

Fixing an uncomfortable situation...



Yep, Micah can stick his tongue up his nose.



Can you???

Daniel and Great Grandpa Vern having a stare-down.

Mimicking Great Grandpa Vern and his love for toothpicks.

Lily having a Mexican Fiesta on the ride back home from the beach!

My "doggie" bag accidentally fell over and directly into her bed. Hmmm...do you think she was praying for that to happen?

Non-stop fun at ChuckE Cheese's!

Yum! I love Baskin Robbins $1 scoop night on Tuesdays!!!

Daniel's 2nd Birthday at the Gilchrist's

Daniel, being a very picky eater, wasn't a fan of eating his cake on his 1st birthday. I guess this year he changed a little? He just couldn't get enough this time. That, plus his birthday being at Nana and Tata's during the 4th of July and his liking of fire in the sky, he was in heaven!
