The Amazing Spider-Man!

This is a pretty intense face huh?
I wonder what could be so captivating to Mason's attention??? Any guesses?

What could it be?

Watching SPIDER-MAN cartoons on the computer!

He was hooked for over an hour! I might have to start looking for a Spider-Man costume for Halloween. Hannah will be very disappointed...since she was pretty sure she had Mason talked into being a bunny rabbit.

Watermelon

Mmmmmmm....watermelon on a hot summer day.

Camping with Nana

Jim's on his annual "bday Harley ride" to Colorado this week. So my mom invited me and the kids to join her for some camping in the mountains! The weather was AMAZING...about 30-40 degrees cooler than the valley which was a huge relief. Of course Nana brought lots of fun things for the kids to do...including bubbles! The sleeping arrangments weren't working out the greatest, so we cut the trip one night early. But overall, the kids loved being able to get outdoors and run and play!

Out of hibernation

I have been in blogger hibernation lately! Been super busy with photography and just life in general...not to mention Facebook takes up my free time and it's so easy to stay in touch with people that way! :)

Anyway, we just returned from a weekend trip to San Diego! The kids were AWESOME during the entire trip which made everything that much more fun! Sunshyne, Chris, and the kids even drove down one day to hang with us on the beach!

Our resort was actually on Mission Bay...which was nice and peaceful and private!

The water was still pretty chilly so Daddy got the "carry me" request a lot.

Team work is needed for awesome sandcastle building!

Baby Ethan...he's almost one year old already!

Mason got obliterated with sand in the face...he wasn't too happy about it.

Check out Makenzie's leaps into their homemade sand bathtub!

And of course, Mason had to get naked on the beach!

Makenzie was filling up the "bathtub" for Ethan and Hannah.

The kids even found silly ways to entertain themselves in the hotel room!

And they even posed for a picture!

Our last day in San Diego, we rented bikes and drove the kids around on the boardwalks. It was the most fun ever! The kids were quiet and happy...they couldn't fight because they were in separate bikes, and we got to see a lot of the beach without having to walk!

We took the kids to Hooters one evening (simply because this restaurant is louder than my children)...and Mason kept himself entertained by sticking crayons up his nose.

The lobby in our resort had the most beautiful waterfall and fish pond...the kids LOVED this!

Hannah and Makenzie were brave enough to let the guys bury them...Mason wanted nothing to do with this!

Family picture on Pacific Beach

The waterfall in our resort lobby again....

We took the kids over to Belmont park to ride some rides.

Since the 8 of us are rarely together all at the same time, I insisted on getting a group shot!

Mommy and Hannah...self photo.

Our resort even featured live bird exhibits daily...the kids loved talking back and forth to them! It was hilarious!
