Easy Entertainment...




Doesn't take much to entertain! Not sure what the whole "laying in the driveway" thing was about. Bella started it then Peyton had to join in! Bella used the moving boxes just like stairs this morning - as you can see she was quite pleased with herself!

Beach Picnic


When the weather finally broke this week we headed straight to the beach! Peyton loves to look for crabs under every rock. We had a great time with our picnic lunch until the Seagulls stole our crackers and cheese - can't wait to go back!

Pirates...


There are 2 "Pirate" Ships in the harbor for a few days. Open for viewing. The girls and I went down this afternoon. I think they actually enjoyed it - something different and it was such a beautiful day!




Happy Birthday Uncle TT



The girls had such a great time last night! It's fun to see them all growing up together - and for the most part getting along just fine!

Singing in the Rain..


Pretty quite weekend. The girls still aren't feeling 100% after our trip, but we still got out and rode bikes in the rain.

Pickles




This is Pickles! Peyton went on a pony ride - in the rain!








Night 1 - Bella threw up for 4 hours!
Night 2 - Peyton fell out of bed, cracked her head on the nightstand and got a bloody nose!
Night 3 - Peyton has meltdown and we leave the next morning!


As you can see by the pictures, we did have, even though we had drama and Chris wasn't there!

Jumping Bean


We're back from Whistler - phew! It was one parenting disaster after another - but somehow we still had fun! This is the "Jumping Bean" as Peyton calls it She had such a great time!

Slip n Slide 2007


It's back! We put the slip n slide up this last week during the heat wave. I got some good pictures of Chris and the girls tonight after dinner! I couldn't resist picture #2. Chris is such a good sport - you'll notice I was smart enough to maintain control of the camera!













Beach Time


Chris and Peyton have a special beach that they go to - just the two of them. They have such a great time. Peyton stood in the seaweed this time, dug for clams and chased the geese! We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area!













First Big Girl Bike Ride


Peyton asked to take her bike on our walk today. We were a little unsure at first I had visions of carrying her and the bike back. But she did great! She rode it the entire way - about 2 miles! We are very proud of her!!!

Morning Cool...



We thought a walk this morning before it got hot would be a good idea. It ended up not being all that hot, but we had a good time. Peyton has a date with dad tomorrow morning to go for a walk to see either crabs, starfish or sanddollars. We'll see what they find. Bella had a tough day with a fever from teething, hence the cold patch on her forehead. Wish I had those when Peyton was little. Seems like they're always coming out with something new!







Bella likes to help...


I can't get much done these days without my little helpers, especially Bella. She likes to be right in the middle. It's great that I get to spend so much time with them - even if some days they seem a little too much to handle!

Swimming


Peyton has had swimming lessons - this is week 2. We've had such fantastic weather for it! This is the first time that Bella had a good time in the little pool with Peyton and then while Peyton was in the big pool for lessons. Bella was quite happy to "run" back and forth at the shallow end.








Fishing by the Dock...


Peyton had to have this pallet moved over to the side of the chips area for her fishing. She has a stick that Chris tied a string onto with a piece of bark tied on the end as a fish. She has quite the imagination!
