Emerson is finally eating and sitting up

Emerson is growing up so fast.  I feel like she is learning something new every day.  She is now eating solids and sitting up all by herself.  Love, love, love this big girl! 

Fun with the cousins at the beach

This year we went to La Jolla and it was well worth it.  This is now one of my favorite beaches.  There is so much to do if you can find a parking spot:) The kids enjoyed climbing on all of the trees, searching the tide pools, watching the seals and sea lions and playing at the beach.  Here are a few of the pictures.

Cam is so fun and always playing with the kids.  They LOVE him.

Checking out the tide pools.

Cam found an octopus and lots of crabs.

Cooper showing Addison a crab.

The tide was starting to come in while we were looking at the tide pools and a lot of people were getting wet.  I think Cooper was keeping an eye on the waves to make sure they didn't get him.

Kamryn showing off the amazing view.

The awesome beach.

What a cute girl.

Addison and Cam trying to touch a seal.  (If you look really closely you can see its little head sticking out of the water.)

Fun with the cousins at SeaWorld

This summer we were so excited to have all of Mike's family come out to visit us.  The kids were especially excited to play with Addison and Reagan who live in Arkansas since they only get to see them twice a year.  Just like last year we visited the beach and Seaworld.  This has become a fun family tradition that I am sure we will look forward to for years.  Here are some of the highlights from our trip to SeaWorld. 

Kamryn loves to ride on her Daddy's shoulders.

All of the cousins.  (Why didn't we put Emerson in this picture?!?)

Taking a break for playing.

We had to sneak a quick pic with Elmo and Zoey.

The kids LOVED riding this ride.

And so did Brad and Cam.

T-Ball is over and we are having a PaRTy!

After another fun season of t-ball, Cooper's team had their party at Pump it Up.  The kids loved it and had so much fun.  Cooper and Kamryn love bouce houses so this is one of their favorite places.

More Strawberry Picking and Some Ducks

 

 

We decided before the summer was through that we needed to visit the strawberry farm one more time.  We went with the Greys, McDowells and Chandlers and had a great time.  Cooper was so excited to be with his best friend Carson and Kamryn loved showing Sabrina how to pick the strawberries.  Just another fun summer day in California.

She loves to mother these girls.

After we finished picking our strawberries we met up with some more friends at a pond to feed the ducks and have some lunch.
