My Favorite Beach Pictures

We had so much fun going to the beach. We got there at the perfect time, sun set. Matthew had his first taste of sand and another, then a few more. The girls found a few sand dollars but daddy forgot they were in his pocket.

My sister was up for Christmas with her family and we all went to San Francisco for the day. These are her kids Mikaela and Luca. We loved seeing them! They are fun and beautiful kids.

Happy Birthday, Babies!!!!

Lindsay was just so happy all day!

We had to wake Matthew up so we could get "THE PARTY STARTED." He wasn't too happy 'bout that.

He changed his mind after the first bite of that yummy cake his mama made. Chocolate cake with chocolate whipped cream frosting, oh so yummy!

Lindsay just picked that cake up and took little bites one at a time. What a little lady.

They got some awesome presents from there grandparents. We had to keep the big girls away so the babies could have a turn.

California Holiday 2008/2009

Christmas in California 2008

Matthew: "I can't believe Mom brought me to the Oakland Zoo. I hope I someone doesn't pop a cap in my diaper. Oh, I think I just did."


We enjoyed Super Taqueria and a relaxing afternoon with Glaimee.


Lindsay: "Next time let's go to a beach where I can show off my figure."

Thanks Dale!
