Just a sunny day at the beach.

OK, so it wasn't so suny, but it was their first day at the beach.




All they could think was "WOW!!! Thats a big bathtub!" Christopher kept running towards the waves. even when they were hammering him and knocking him down... he kept coming back for more! What water babies.

A little Boy and his Grandma.

What a great shot. He is such a smiley little guy. (Allright... i know that this shot is 6 months old, but it is a great picture)

Babies and a lollipop

Want to know what happens when you take a lollipop away from a baby???

This is what happens when you take a lollipop away from a baby!

The Great thing about Disneyland...

Is that ANYBODY can drive!

Hey Mickey!

They now know who this large eared gentleman is! And they were impressed!

Almost all the cousins

We went to Disney with the McGees and almost got a picture with all of the brood. Next time we are hoping it will have them all looking in the right direction.

It's a world of laughter, a world or tears...

They had not idea what to make of "It's a small world" but they seemed to enjoy it. And I even thought I heard Christopher humming it later!

Ratatouille

After months of seeing the movie previews on the computer, the kids got to meet Remy and Emile!

Disneyland

And we have only been there for an hour!

The Submarines are back!

Well, the subs are back at Disney. Only now it is the "Finding Nemo" Ride. It is the most spectacular LINEUP you have ever seen. However thanks to divine providence, we got there and made a decision that we would not be looking for nemo just as we ran into the McGee clan (who has already been in the line about 2.5 hours) and they kindly let us in.

So we were able to find nemo!

The beautiful family picture as we arrive in the gate...

OK kids, we are at the happiest place on earth... now just look at the camera so that we can take a cute family picture in our Golden Mouse Ears...

Auntie Becky's Pool

Well, we did not plan on them swimming... but have i mentioned that they love water? So they got in with the whole gang. Aunt Rachel, (thanks Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky for being in the water with us) Aunt AnnaMarie for the little swimmers, Cousins Avery, Ian and Katelyn.

Woo-Hoo... A night out!!!!!

The great thing about being at a trade show in Southern California and bringing the family along was the built in babysitters!!! Major thanks to Aunt Rachel, Aunt Becky, Grandma Rose and cousin Vanessa for babysitting so that we could go out for a grown up dinner for a night!
We really need to find a way to do this more than once every six months.

Chillin by the pool!

Just hanging out by the pool after a little swimming at the hotel. I think Anastasia is barking out a drink order!

What the heck are these things and why are they stuck to this tree?

Grandma Rose has a tangerine tree in the back yard. the kids had fun plucking and then eating some of them.
