A trip to the Beach with the fam


In September all of my family decided to come out and visit us.  My Mom, Dad, Jared, Christy, Zach and Connor came out for a weekend of beach fun.  We spent most of our time at the beach.  The kids loved playing in the water and sand and they even went boogie boarding.  Cooper has become quite the boogie boarder and with even go out on his own.  I am so proud of how brave he is.  He loves the water and the only time we can get him to take a break is when he wipes out and needs a candy to remove the taste of salt from his mouth.  Although Kamryn is not quite ready for boogie boarding she loves jumping in the waves and even talked her aunt Christy into taking her out pretty deep.  It is official, my kids are beach bums.


Here is our little explorer after face planting in the sand. 


Cooper is one happy boy at the beach!


This was Emerson's first time crawling around in the sand.  I just let her go free and boy was she happy.  She loved the sand.


Until he has a mud fight and gets it all over his head;)


Jared and Zachary waiting for the right wave . . .


. . . and riding it all the way in.


What's a  beach trip without someone getting buried in the sand.  This time it was Kamryn.


A quick group picture of the kids before everyone had to leave.  We miss you guys and can't wait to see you.


I just had to include this picture of Emerson.  Just one of the many silly faces she has discovered.

Apple Picking


Kamryn had a field trip to go apple picking with her preschool class.  It was a fun trip.  The kids were given their own bags to fill with apples.  Kamryn loved picking the apples and eating them too.


Our walk to the apple trees.

Go ASU


Gotta love some school spirit.  Especially when it's from your little baby.  She is the CUTEST little cheerleader I have ever seen.


Kamryn's 1st Day of Preschool


I can't believe Kamryn is finally old enough for preschool.  She has been so excited to go to school for quite some time and has been loving every minute of it.  Here are some pictures of our sweet girl's first day of school.


Kamryn and Emerson.


So cute!

More of the Beach


One of the many up-sides to living in California . . . you get to go to the beach whenever you want! This past summer we spent a lot of time at the beach.  It is one of our family's favorite places to be especially when we go with friends.  Here are some pictures from a couple of our trips to the beach.
 

Happy girls.
