Bouncing fun

Emily in her bouncing debut...

August

Daddy and his boy enjoying a summer day....

I decided to make Emily a tutu....I thought how hard could it be...It wasn't but I made it too long and she just wanted to eat it...I did manage to get some awfully cute pics of her in it though....

This was a fun game....I would put this on her head and she would laugh and look all around for it and then try to wiggle her head to get it off....This went on for about 10 minutes...It was so cute.

What have we been up to??

We went for a family hike in Peter's canyon...we had a nice evening walk..Emily loved the backpack and Nicholas ran the whole way..

It is beautiful up in the canyon...

We had a playdate with some school friends...they enjoyed jumping off the waterfall and swimming all over.

Nicholas showing off one of his jumps.

underwater

Chris got a new underwater camera and he and Nicholas had fun trying it out in the swimming pool.  It takes pretty good pictures and we can't wait to try it more.

Pismo Beach

A day at the beach..Isn't she fabulous.

Savannah and Emily were inseperable.

the Pismo Beach gang.  We had my sister and her kids, my mom/dad, and Great grandma Emily.

Savannah, Austin, and Nicholas posing for pics....

My sister gave Nicholas these batman glasses and he would not take them off.  I had a really hard time taking him serious with them on.  They had these little flaps that opened and closed over the eyes.  He loves being batman.

On July 25th Emily started sitting up..I just put her down to try it and she stayed up.  She has gotten sturdier ever since.

Her first ride sitting up in her stroller.  She loved being able to see out.

Nicholas thinks it is fun to climb into the crib with her and she loves it.

Ok so I am one of those moms who puts things on their kids that I think are cute, but isn't she just precious in this...

Another try with cereal was a little messy.

pics from Spokane

Ok we finally got a few more pictures from our trip up North...so these are 4th of July week.

Nicholas and his friend Cameron had a blast on the inner tube...they kept doing thumbs up for faster...

Mommy decided that she wasn't going to wimp out so I tried the wake board and had so much fun...It made me wish we knew someone closer with a boat.  I loved it....

Emily pretty much slept anytime the boat moved.

keeping busy

I am not sure where the time goes, but we have been busy this summer.  We just got back from spending a week in Pismo Beach for my mom's 60th birthday.  It was great to get the whole family together and my niece and nephew were like having built in babysitting.  My niece Savannah had just spent the week with us also and was really fun to have.  I am going to try and post our highlights...It is hard to pick..
