Painting

My mom offered to come and help me paint my family room because I have not liked the color we picked ever since we moved in. So we are finally doing it!!!

Bradley was nice enough to help :)

Ethan just had fun going up and down on the step ladder

Then they really did help by watching "Kid Songs" :)

me painting :)

4 Years!

It is our 4 year anniversary! Crazy! It has been a nice four years. Kyle is such a great guy and we have such a great little family. My mom baby sat for us and we went to Claim Jumper then to The Incredible Hulk. It was a lot of fun.

BEACH!

The boys loved the beach this year. Ethan just walked right in it with Kyle right at the beginning, which was a mistake because then he was freezing.

Ethan is a brave little boy.

Bradley was took. There is no way I would be picking up that seaweed!

I guess he thought it belonged back in the ocean :)

Just hangin out at the beach

Bradley was trying to jump over the waves. I thought it was cute.

Kyle on the other hand didn't like the splashing :) They sure look cute though.

Ethan sitting on the blanket because he got cold.

There a totem pole :)

This is what Zack did at the beach. He was such a good baby on the trip and a good sport. I felt bad for him. He was a little neglected by being stuck in the stroller all week.

Me and Bradley.

Baseball Game

Later that day we went to a Padres game. That was fun.

The view was awesome.

I was surprised at how much the boys liked it. They still talk about it.

This is the Hard Rock Cafe that we didn't eat at. It took us like 45 mins to find and then we got there and I had to feed Zack so Kyle went and got a table. By the time I got there I wasn't really in the mood to eat there anymore. So we gave the waiter a few dollars and left and got pizza instead.

We had a lot of fun though. It was fun spending time with just our little family. I am so glad that we were able to go.

San Diego Zoo

We went to the San Diego Zoo the next day. It was a lot of fun. It was huge and very hilly!

These are the hippos. That was really cool.

Me and Zack

The polar bear was so cool. He was up and walking around

and swimming in the water. It was really neat.

Kyle and Ethan. There wasn't a place for Ethan to sleep so Kyle held him. He looks so sweet.

Everybody walked by us and thought this was so cute. I had to agree :)

They have panda bears there right now.

They looked cool.

The cub was sleeping in the tree near the fence. It was cool.

Ethan was really excited to see the giraffe but he was asleep :(

Kyle got out the camera to take a picture of this bird and he looked over to his left and...

this bird was sitting right on the rail like a foot away from him. It was funny.

Bradley and his map.

Sea World

We went on a family vacation this July. It was so much fun. We rented out a little condo right by the beach. We went to Sea World, which the boys loved.

This is Bradley with his Sea World map. It was so cute every where we went he had his little map out looking at it.

We got to have breakfast with "Elmo and friends". That was a lot of fun. The boys absolutely loved it.

Elmo!!!

When we first got there we could see Big Bird. The boys weren't to sure about that. (You also have to know Bradley's back ground on people in character costumes... He is terrified of them. But we thought he might like this since he is older now and he knows the characters.)

But once they saw Elmo they were thrilled, especially Ethan. Once he saw him he started saying, "Elmo! Elmo!" and cut everybody in line and tried to give him a hug. It was really cute.

Ethan loved it!!!

Bradley was a little hesitant still but he started warming up once he saw that Elmo wasn't going to eat Ethan or anything. I had to get in the pic with Bradley other wise he wouldn't have.

Big Bird!?!

We went over to Big Bird next. Ethan wasn't as excited about that. Bradley liked him though.

He even gave Big Bird 5!!! Wow! That was a huge step!

While the boys ate they could watch Big Bird and Elmo. They enjoyed that.

The food was really good too :)
