Trouble!

Scotty is now officially walking! It's so funny to see him standing there with his sippy cup and trying to walk around. He still manages to get his pants really dirty, crawling is faster sometimes. He's so proud of himself!

Sunday morning Cinnamon Rolls!

I wanted to post this last week, but didn't get the chance. Here is the family making cinnamon rolls together last Sunday. It was very fun! Jeremy is a great chef and it's fun to see him in there with the kids. What a good dad!

Avila Beach

Jeremy and I were able to go away this weekend and it was so great! We dropped the girls off at school where they would be picked up by Aunt Kirsten, then the boys went to my parents house. Then Jeremy's parents took them for the Saturday and Sunday. It was so nice to have them do that for us. Thank you everyone for your help!

We drove up to Oceano first where we went horseback riding out on the dunes. It was your typical walking the horse, not running ride, but we saw some beautiful scenes. It was just fun to do something different together as well. Jeremy and I like to try new things. After that, we went to our "resort" and checked in. It was nestled into the hillsides of Avila, among tons of Sycamore and scrub oak trees. It was pretty tranquil. Each room came with it's own hot tub that we filled up each time with stinky sulphur water, but it was very relaxing and warm. Especially since it was pretty cool up there. Saturday we took a Pilates class in the morning. I was so proud of Jeremy for doing it with me. :) We hiked up to the top of the hill which was about 1 1/2 miles up a pretty steep hill that overlooked the Avila Bay. It was really pretty. It was just so nice to not really have a schedule and to be able to read and just enjoy each other. We also got a massage later that day which was heavenly!

Sunday we went home and stopped by to see a good friend on our way. Monday we went to Disneyland with Jeremy's brother and his girlfriend. We went on all the rides we couldn't go on with little kids and it was fun to act like a big dork! We also got to eat at the Blue Bayou in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I would say eat there once for the experience. It was pretty good food and since we were right next to the water, I thought it'd be really mischievous to throw rolls at the passing boats, but we didn't!

I love Jeremy so much! He really is my best friend and so good to me. I'm so grateful to celebrate 11 years with him and look forward to many more.

Overlooking some really pretty coast line in Pismo.

San Francisco

Cozette on her stead at the carousel.

Ben was such a good sport with Wyatt hanging all over him. I'm sure he had sore shoulders the next day!

All our yummy fruit! I love summer!

We went to San Francisco to visit my brother who is going to dental school. On the way up, we made a few stops on Santa Barbara to visit Ben and Alex and then to Pismo before going the rest of the way. We had a great time with our family and friends. They all made us feel so comfortable and well fed! Thanks you guys! Just wanted to post a few picture from the trip. Wyatt became Ben's best friend. He was so good to Wyatt and carried him around on his shoulders and played with him at the park. He even helped him hold a turtle at this park we went to!

This is on top of the fort that is right under the Golden Gate bridge.

Our van jammed full of all of us while we drove around the city. Thank you tour guide Christian! Cool shot from Baker Beach! That bridge is just so cool!

Wow!

Cute Scotty at the park! His feet and hands are always moving and he is just so happy!

This one is for Erin and Tom. This was at California Adventure in line for the Toy Story 2 ride.

Beecroft reunion we had over Memorial Day. What a great reunion!

Wyatt petting a bat ray at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Atalie had a field trip there last month.

Atalie missing her two top teeth!

School's out and I haven't been on here in forever! I can't believe it! I have been gardening and we went out of town last weekend and had a great time with friends and family. I haven't even put our pictures on the computer yet. Boy am I out of touch.

Tomorrow is Jeremy's birthday and we are finally going to see "Up!" I can't wait to here our kids giggle and laugh at it!

Scotty is as cute as ever! He is army crawling right now and he's fast! Nothing is safe anymore on our house!

Just testing out our camera and getting Wyatt riding the bike with Jerm. I love his little voice.
