Perfect in Every Way!

Delaney was excited to meet her new baby sister and even offered her prized "white beb beb" (blanket) when she started to fuss! What a gift of generosity and love!

First Impressions

Katie made it look so easy! 5 minutes from the time the nurse told her to push, Reese arrived! Amazing and Beautiful

Gramps was so excited to come to the hospital and see his new grandbaby that he ended up at the hospital with two different black dress shoes! I'm tellin' you, the guy was a (wonderful) mess when I was having babies! Having grandbabies brings back all those wonderful memories for us!

Our Family

A huge thank- you to everyone who made the time and took the effort to come

celebrate with us! A great time was had by all.

Our lives are richer because of your love and friendship. We love you!

The Day was Lovely: the Bride was Radiant the Groom Dashing

Camping @ Carpinteria State Beach

Carp was gorgeous! No costal layer at all, and warm, warm water.
We were even lucky enough to get there on the night of a "Grunion Run"
Even when we lived in Carp, I never got out of the house at that outrageous
hour to search for Grunion, so I was excited to give it a try.
Despite my searching the beach for those little fishes doing their interesting
mating routine on the beach, at 3:15 am and again at 4:00am, I saw nothing!
For all I know, they are related to Snipes, and I went on a snipe hunt at the beach!
Yep, I am pretty certian they are snipes!


Emily and Ryan and Brent joined us for the Camping Adventure. In fact, it was Emily's idea, and such a good idea it was. We had a fab time.

Covered in sand.... What is it about the beach, that the smallest kid always gets burried?

What a Week!

Last Week was quite the whirlwind. On Saturday Aug 1 we flew to LA and spent a few days with
Dave's mom. We went to the beach in Laguna, met Janeese and Brent for Dinner at GiGi's house, and had a great time in gorgeous weather. Even the water at the beach was warm enough to swim in!

Oh! What do you do in the summertime?

Oh! What Do You Do in the Summertime?
Oh what do you do in the sumertime,

when all the world is green?

Do you fish in the stream, or lazily dream on the banks as the clouds go by?

Is that what you do? So do I!

Oh, what do you do in the summertime,

when all the world is green? Do you swim in a pool, to keep yourself cool,

Or swing in a tree up high? Is that what you do? So do I!

Oh, what do you do in the summertime,

when all the world is green? Do you march in parades, or drink lemonades,

or count all the stars in the sky? Is that what you do? So do I!

Eat Some yummy Ice Cream

Dabble in frosting green!

Ride in a Handcart

Eat Birthday Cake

Share a sip from a hose....

Pet a precious puppy....

Eat a green pickle....

Cook some fresh corn!

Hope everyone is enjoying the simple pleasures of Summertime....

Four Sisters

In going through my old photos I came across this gem.
It is me, my sister Kelly, my Mom and my sister Laurie.
I am surounded by wonderful and beautiful women. I wish every girl
could have at least one sister; I am doubly blessed with
two. I couldn't be any luckier. I love you girls!

Beach Club

Day at the Beach Club

Emily, Ryan, Katie and Delaney came over this afternoon. My friend Kelly met us at the Beach Club and checked us in, and we kept her two kids, while she went to an appointment. The Beach Club is part of the HOA for our neighborhood. Since we are renting, we need someone official, who actually owns a house here to get us in, and Kelly has kindly offered several times this summer. Today, we took her up on it.


Playing in the Sand and Sun.

Time out for a snack. The little lake behind Delaney is part of the HOA park too.
You can rent paddle boats, sail boats, and big wheel boats. Beyond the lake is a little Croatian Village they are building with dining and shops then beyond that, our apartment complex.


Emily and Ryan, he was dying to dive in! The day was about 100 degrees, and the pool at least 95. Pretty easy to get into, but not very refreshing! We had a great time.


Delaney behind the Ray Bans.

It was lots of fun. It was the next best thing to the real thing. 14 ft. sandy perimeter of a ginormous pool, and a nice splash pad. Lots of trees lining the edges and grassy places to sit in our reclining loungers.... not that we were reclining or lounging with two little ones, but it was
lots of fun. Here is a photo of Katie poolside and her curvaceous figure.

.
She will be skinny again soon, no doubt.
