Enjoying the watermelon

We went to the Island Waterpark Thursday with Aunt Melanie, Emma, Joel and Lily. We were there for only four hours and that was plenty of time. Carson didn't seem to enjoy it very well. He had to wake up early from his nap and would not forgive us, plus the water was a little cold. Madison liked going on the water slides with Mommy and Auntie and playing with her cousins. I am loving being home for the summer. I love my kiddos more than life itself and enjoy every minute. This is a beautiful life.

Independence!!

Carson is so happy to get around his room and play with all his toys. He is becoming an independent little man. I can't believe he is already almost ten months old. He is such a happy baby. Madison loves to play in there with him making sure he plays with every toy in his room, what a mess to clean up!

Madison has a new baby

Gaga and Papa came home yesterday from Utah and brought Madison a new baby. She has not been seperated from Abby the entire time. They slept together last night. This morning they watched Tigger and Pooh together. She has wanted binkies, bottles, and blankies for her baby. Last night we found the baby in the pac-n-play taking a nap. This morning I found her in her brother's crib with a binky and blankie. She wanted me to give her brother's bottle. They ate cereal together and right now the baby is playing with toys. She has never been this was with any baby before, but this one is cute and she loves it. She is such a little mommy it makes me laugh.

They definately love each other

I was making breakfast this morning when Carson and his big sis were in his room playing with all his toys. I walked in and she was teaching him how to use the ball popper. I am so grateful that she is so loving with her little "bubba". They love each other and that gives me a sense of peace knowing they aren't beating each other up. I am sure that will come in the future, but for now we are friends. They sure have a cute bond.

The Beach part 2

Having fun with Mema in the sand.

Cutie pie!!

Definately having fun with the sand.

I spent the weekend with the girls. We went to Cambria with my aunt, sister, cousins, and my brother's girlfriend. We played all day at Avila Beach and the weather was beautiful. Sunday we spent the day at Pismo having fun and enjoying the weather. Kids had a good time being around everyone who adores them. After 4 days gone playing I was ready to come home and just relax.

too cute!
He was happy as long as he had a graham cracker. Bought a new box tonight.
Madison very busy msking cakes

We took an impromptu trip to Pismo beach Thursday afternoon coming home Friday afternoon. We had a very long drive there but it was well worth the drive. The weather was beautiful and the kids had fun at the beach. We walked the beach Thursday after a yummy dinner at Splash Cafe. Friday we spent all day out on the pismo dunes riding mommy's quad and making sand castles or as madison calls them, "cakes". Carson was a cutie when he wasn't crying. He wasn't the happiest boy but was cute anyways. We had fun in the sixty degree weather. Wasn't ready to come home to the HOT HOT valley. Saturday I turn around and go back to the beach for a girl's trip. We are going to Avila and Cambria. I am not looking forward to leaving my hubby behind but am looking forward to going and spending some time with the girls.

happy 4th ouf July

We spent our 4th ouf July at my cousin Audrey's wedding. Madison had so much fun because they have horses and mules and she got to get up close and personal with them. She loved to pick up hay and give to mommy to feed them. She wouldn't pet them but loved to look at them and talk about them. Carson loved the horses as well and wanted to touch them. My uncle Scott is so good with both kids and loved being there to get his "fix" of Sly children. I first told myself that she could not do sparklers becuase they were too "dangerous" but I gave in when I saw her Daddy showing her what to do. Daddy and Uncle Scott did sparklers with her while Carson slept. The 4th was great, we had a great time as family watching fireworks and just sitting back and relaxing.
