Girls in the Bath

The girls love taking a bath together and there new thing is to lay on there bellies together in the tub.  Addison is starting to blow bubbles and loves it.  She gets the biggest kick out of herself.

Dentist Time

It was that time of year again for Mikaela, teeth check-up.  Poor baby girl ended up with 3 cavities.  She brushes every morning and every night, and well too.  We hope she will grow out of the cavities.  We go back next week to get them fixed.  

Bodie's 5th Birthday

Our dog Bodie turned 5 years old today.  He is such a good dog, and looks so nice when he gets a hair cut.

Carley's Roller Skating Party

Matt's cousin Creg's daughter had a roller skating party for her 8th birthday.  We went out for the fun.  It took Mikaela a little while to want to skate but once she got up, she enjoyed it.  She had lots of fun.  

After some practice on the side she was finally ready for the rink

I love this picture and how everyone is blurry but Mikaela and I on the other side of the rink.  Great job Matt.

Addison wanted to roller skate, she kept trying to walk out onto the rink. 

Sleepy Girl

She looked so relaxed and comfortable this morning when I went in to wake her up. 

Night at Disneyland

We took advantage of our Disneyland Annual Passes tonight.  We stopped for dinner at McDonald's, parked at Downtown Disney and had a wonderful family night at the parks. 

Love the flowers

Pismo Beach 2012- Day 4

This was out last day in Pismo.  We went for a drive about an hour up north after breakfast to go see the Elephant Seals that are on the shore.  There were hundreds, mostly females and babies at this time of year.  This animals are giant and so neat to watch.  They are about 4 miles from Hearst Castle. 

After we got back into Pismo walked to go see the Monarch Butterflies just up the street from the campground.  We had a surprise visit from Tabby and her new fiance Brant who just so happened to be in Santa Barbara for the weekend.  We chatted with them before our potluck dinner with our Pismo camping buddies.  I have failed to mention that we were with a BIG group of campers on this trip.   This was our 3rd year camping with these people and they could not be nicer camping buddies.  Throughout our stay we would sit around the campfire with them, watch the playoff games, share appetizers, and on the last night we have a potluck dinner.  This year was burgers and hot dogs with lots of yummy sides and desserts.  We watched our last sunset just before dinner then after dinner we packed up and we headed home.  Till next year Pismo Beach, oh how I love you
