It’s Beach Time Again!

While we may not be ready for summer here in Yuma, we are excited that warmer weather usually means more days at the beach for us!  We were able to spend the last two weekends in April over in Laguna.   Blaine & I celebrated our fifth anniversary there (kid-free!) the first weekend and then took a little family vacation the Wednesday through Sunday after that before Blaine gets wrapped up in watermelon season.  We had two perfect days at the beach, a super day at Sea World and then the Sunday we came home, my dad, Blaine and I all ran in the La Jolla 1/2 marathon.  It was a very HILLY, but gorgeous run that was all along coast-line between Del Mar and La Jolla.  We all felt great, ran well and came in under two hours!

Always lots of pictures to share...

Crazy kids in the bubble bath and our Batman superhero!

Enjoying their new lawn chairs and our little sleeping angel!

Now off to the beach house!  Due to DeeDee’s recent surgery and my parents’ place being occupied, we ended up staying at the Anderson’s beach pad, which is just down the road from Cloud 9.  DeeDee had back surgery a few weeks ago over in Orange County and is currently at the rehab hospital there.  She is working really hard to regain her health and her strength so that she can come back home soon.   We are all keeping her in our thoughts and prayers everyday.

On the search for some sand crabs!

Little Diva!

Kisses for brother!

SEA WORLD!  Although we took Colbie last summer, she was too young to really appreciate it.  This year, she really seemed to enjoy the shows and loved looking at all the animals and sea life.

These pictures are from today.  We had a swim play date with the McIntier girls!  Everyone had fun….no hair was pulled, no fights broke out…..it was a good day!

My little poser!  Colbie saying “Cheeeeese” wearing her new dress from DeeDee!
