San Diego

We took a quick weekend getaway to San Diego over Labor Day weekend. You will notice that we did not take many pictures. The first day we were there, we couldn't find the camera and assumed we had just left it at home. While packing the diaper bag for our second day of adventure, we found it at the bottom of the diaper bag...HOORAY! Too bad we forgot to take any pictures of our day at the beach. Now no one will believe the MASSIVE WAVES we were surfing...oh well. We finally kept the camera handy as we finished up our weekend walking around the San Diego temple grounds as we made our way back to the airport.

This temple is beautiful. We hope to be able to go through it next time we are in town.

Emily on the temple grounds.

Kelsey enjoying her time on the temple grounds. We'd also like to thank Emily for her help in taking this picture. Sorry Andy. ;)

Here is Cyrus throwing a bit of an attitude right in front of the doors to the temple. He didn't want to pose for any pictures...because he'd rather sit...I guess we all have our free agency, even at the temple.

A big thank you to Uncle Doug, Aunt Ginger and their family for reminding us how to be "locals" (right Camille) at the beach. Mike taught Andy the art of boogy boarding and both Cyrus and Emily learned quickly that it's best to keep their mouths closed when playing in the waves. Kelsey discovered that if you eat a sucker while playing in the sand, you can quench both the sweet and salty cravings we get. She loved the water and the sand and crawling away when I wasn't paying attention...weird.

Next time we'll pull out the camera....

Next time leave the kids with me. Although Emily seems to be a good photographer, you may need her.
Leave kelsey at the temple grounds. I've never seen her so happy before.

good thing you didn't have the camera at the locals' beach. People are opposed to clothing over there! (so I hear)

you are so stinkin' funny. I think I might try the sucker thing in the sand the next time I get those cravings. Thanks for the tip!

Wow, How would it be to just take a quick trip to San Diego? I guess thats the perks you get for being part of the "Cool crowd". I always wondered about that. :) The kids seemed to have really enjoyed themselves! :) I love it . Your blog always cracks me up!! Your so funny!! (oh and don't worry, I totally believe you about the MASSIVE waves you were ridin')

Are we ready for Monday?....Bring it ON!!

Snug as a Bug in a Rug....

Kelsey is a bit of a wild sleeper. We usually find at least one appendage hanging (or stuck) out of the crib. The poor girl was REALLY stuck this time. She's asleep in this picture, but didn't sleep long once we started the routine to unstick those thighs.

She Wears Me Out

Why is it when I need to stick to a schedule and get things done, there are those that try to keep me from completing anything?? Let me introduce you to Miss Kelch....you can see she has had an eventful morning. I had made some chocolate peanut butter bars in the morning to be ready for the kids for an after school snack....Kelsey enjoyed the frosting off of the bars while I was using the facilities. While cleaning up the chocolate mess, I realized things had gotten too quiet. Upon opening the door to my bathroom, I found the lovely miss Kelsey applying some mascara to her lushes eye lashes..as well as the fronts of my bathroom cabinets. As I was cleaning up the mascara with my favorite tool...the Magic Eraser..I heard Alyson crying and realized she was laying (unprotected) on the ottoman. As I ran down the stairs and rounded the corner....I found this.... I must admit I was pretty impressed she was able to get Alyson into this feeding position. I'm guessing it wasn't a smooth ...
