Yard clean up

 And down she must come... 

Yup, a one man show.

Gone!

Home again, home again

Just hanging out on the couch at home....

Vacation - part IV

We went swimming at Tia's sister's house... first time Fi and O got in a pool with a slide!

Fi was hesitant to go down the slide at first, but by the end of the day, she was going down without anyone catching her and swimming to the steps by herself.

It was a fun time and the kids can't wait to go again. We had a blast!!

Vacation - part III

 We drove out to Pt Reyes for the day, to visit the Pacific Ocean.

We decided to dig a hole.

A big hole!

Vacation - part II

Kids got to play in the backyard of Auntie J's house. She bought a slip and slide and then, of course, there was a hose...

After everyone got dried off, we hung around in the chill out lounge...

Lounging.

Our family visit to Califiona

We drove down to California to visit family. Grandpa took the kids to the zoo...

Fi got to feed the giraffe!

Who knew they had purple tongues??
And then there are the flamingos, a family favorite.

Picture of mama.

Tia! Tia was visiting from Spain, taking pictures of the kids in front of her parent's house. This is one of the pics that ended up on our 2012 Christmas card.
