Weekend in San Diego!

We spent a couple of days in San Diego this weekend and it was a lot of fun! We hit the La Jolla Shores beach on Saturday and the Zoo on Sunday. The weather was alittle chilly, but a nice break from the heat for us! The kids did great and seemed to really enjoy themselves! I can't wait to go back. We Love San Diego!

Gavin's first trip to the beach! He really loved playing in the sand and in the end was rolling around in it, and of course got a mouthful! Total Boy!

Kailyn spent her time playing in the water and sand with daddy. She thought it was really funny to get buried in the sand!

Mitch enjoyed taking his babies to the water!

The Zoo

Kailyn's favorite animal was the "big kitty cat" aka the jaguar. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic, the exhibit was madness in a 8x10. Her second favorite was the "fish", which was really the hippo, but there were loads of cool fish. Gavin hung for about 1/2 of the day and then gave way to the gentle ride of the stroller and cool breeze. I got sunscreen on everyone, but unfortunately not myself. Oh well, I guess once a year I need a good burn :( It was somewhat of an adventure with the double stroller ( a couple of feet were rode over, oops!) but overall a great day. I look forward to our next visit!

Gavin is walking!

May 13th - walking at 9 mos! First a couple of steps, then three, then three again and now he is walking all over the place! Not only is he walking, but he is very masterfully walking and carrying objects! I guess I sound like a proud momma.... He really is doing very well and he seems to be also quite proud of himself! Way to go Gavin on reaching another milestone!

Mother's Day

Well this year I was blessed to be the mommy of 2 little sweethearts! How did this happen? Each day I feel a great duty to be the best mommy around and I wouldn't have it any other way. So what if my sleep debt will take years to repay (which will probably never happen) and so what if every shirt I own has been spit up on, spilled on, or chewed on. I am totally in love with these two little munchins and everyday I cherish the time we spend together. This year our little family of four went to a favorite breakfast spot for their out-of-this-world waffles and then onto some shopping! Later Mitch treated us and his parents to dinner! Thanks to Mitch for making it a great day!

Bathtime fun!

The beauty of bathtime now is that it can be done together! Most of the time Kailyn likes to wash Gavin, especially his hair, and most of the time Gavin takes it. Too bad that Kailyn enjoys washing his hair rather than having her hair washed! His fascinatation is the faucet and She likes to hoard the toys. Bottom Line: in the end they both come out clean!

Gavin

He hasn't actually taken those first steps, but he has been busy! He is such a light in our life!
