Over the weekend, we had Jenni and her friends come visit. It was a really fun visit! We had a great time hanging out, playing card games, eating (of course!), and sleeping (which they were miraculously able to do even after the kids were up in the morning!). Thanks to Jen for the adorable swimsuits my kids are sporting!

Trying to get Alisa to sleep--not so fun when there's so much to see!

My first official "girlie" act with Alisa, if you don't count the bows and flower head bands on Sundays. Cute toes!

Jake was in HEAVEN! We were at the beach for 4 hours, and he ran in and out of the water for 3 1/2, then Scott took him to the slide/playground area where he spent the rest of the time! It was quite a change from last year, when he was too scared to get close to the water!

Out of order, but can we just say that Jake is in boy heaven with his new birthday bike? Thanks, Grandma Seaman! It is music to my ears not to hear a movie request 24/7! He does still request movies, but it is much less frequent. I don't really know why... most of the time I say no to the movie. Anyway, the bike gets him outside! Our favorite ride is around the block to the park, where Jake can now swing on the big boy swing (I'd say swings, but it's a bit ghetto and the other ones are broken!), play and splash in the spastic water fountain (it shoots up about 12 feet in the air), and slide on the little slides there. We make the trip frequently. He loves it!

More beach... by the pier in Oceanside.

Alisa LOVED the water! It was cold, but she thought it was great! Another adventure!

Happy Family! We need a tan, but hey! I'm not complaining about our 80-100 degree weather here. We're not missing the snow, that's for sure!!!
