At the Beach with Grandpa and Judy

Had to go to the beach to pick up my race packet so we made a day of it. I haven't been bravee enough to take the kids to the beach by myself (f0r good reason) but with three adults it was pretty fun!

Aww, so sweet. If I'd have only stayed away for a couple more minutes Milo would've fallen asleep.

There's one person missing from all but one of these pictures...credit to the photographer! Thanks Judy!!

A quick demo of a single tri-pod and a much more complicated double tri-pod. Don't try this at home, these are trained professionals!

Milo can't believe no one is nagging him about keeping the sand in the box. Happy Day!

Ahhhh, strapped in (aka immobilized) plus a bag of sandy popcorn equals two happy tired kids.

Zoey Pics

Aw...glad I got a picture or I'd never believe it. They're sharing!

Remember being little like this and actually liking to lay on the grass?

Momma was teaching her how to make silly faces in the mirror. I'm sure I'll regret it soon.

Two little ladies out to tea...or rather ice cream. Ever is Zoey's favorite girl friend.

Kisses for Dadda on top of StageCoach Bluff...family hike.

A quick pose with me and Milo on top of StageCoach Bluff. And we're potty trained now...doing really well. She HAD to use the potty on the hike and we didn't have one so we used this rock. She insisted that I take a picture of it post pit-stop.

Milo Pics

Riding "horsies" with Zoey at the crack of dark while I make oatmeal.

Vince was gone or he'd have never been allowed to get this messy. He had a blast...I had a lot to clean up.

With Grandpa at El Parque De Lopez.

First pony ride was great...not so great the last two times I've tried.

Love Run

Just a warm up 5K before the Tri. :-)

Me...looking like I mean business.

Heres' most of the group.

Photoshoot

Just playing

This is the first time I tried to let him paint...as you can see he's ready to go swimming so cleanup (I thought) would be easy. He ate the paint, put it in his hair, sat in it, walked on it...the only paint that went on paper was what I put there. Oh well, I seem to recall Zoey eating a lot of paint, crayons, paper and whatever.

Mom took this picture because I just wiped out and hit my head on the cement...see the bruise on my forehead already?

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey! And she does know a Phillips from a Flat-head screwdriver.

First REAL Haircuts

I was surprised that Zoey was OK with this but she sat in that chair like a seasoned salon goer.

Milo on the other hand...
Not liking it so much!
