A Daily Thing

Adalin and Kira were always sacking out in the middle of the day. Playing with cousins all day in the sun really got the better of them. I just had to take (and post) this picture to illustrate just how tired they were!

Carpenteria! Beach camping, swimming and chowing.

When we were in Southern California we had a chance to go beach camping for a night with Adam's brother, sister in law and their awesome kids. We had so much fun! Soaking up the sun was a beautiful thing after having nothing but snow the first half of our trip!

This is one happy girl right here!

Kira and our niece, Camille.

Kira could play in the sand all day and night if we let her!

Adam, Camille and Drew stacked flat rocks for a few hours. Justin (Adam's brother) chimed in and told the kids he would give them $1 if they stacked 10 rocks and $2 for 20. As you can see, they stacked quite a few!

Bath in the sink

While we were in UT for a couple days last month, Adam's mom, Jeanine, gave little Ava Jeanine a bath in her kitchen sink. I love these pictures.

This is what traveling does to kids

While driving back from Adam's brother's house in Heber City, UT in April, I looked out my window to see this gorgeous view of the backside of Mt. Timpanogos:

I turned around to tell the girls to soak in every beautiful detail and found them in a state quite unable to soak anything in, but sleep.

Little Ava J.

She is so stinkin' cute, isn't she?

Doesn't Ava look huge compared to him?

Kira's 3rd Birthday!

We were in ID for Kira's birthday. We don't get to share too many holidays or birthdays with Adam's family so it was so great to be there for both Easter and this little event. I LOVE the second picture here. Kira just wanted some frosting so badly that she licked it right off the cake, with some encouragement, I believe.

Idaho!

We had so much fun out west last month. Here are the girls in Idaho riding Uncle John's horses to the end of his driveway/road to pick up Porter, their cousin, from the bus.
