February 2010

The kids and I took a short trip to Sea World one afternoon after nap time. The kids love to just run around and when it is a little chilly and well, you are going in the out door because it is so late, there is no one there. It is just great. The two of them actually stood there and posed for this great picture with the fire hydrant in front of the beautiful flowers!

My mother and I had taken the kids to the Quail Botanical Gardens in North County a couple of months back and not only did they love it but so did we. We finally had the chance to drag Ian up there. Here is a picture of the kids posing along one of the trails. Avery has taken to smiling really hard. She gets so excited so really, we have no normal pictures of her anymore.

Daddy and the kido's walking towards the Children's Garden, so cute!

Another big milestone this month, Owen turned 1 and a half and well, that meant he was starting school. We were so good about starting him slowly and not making him go full days for a while. He was such a champ and really loves it now. The two of them are in different classes and therefore play in different yards. They will stand at the fence and play with eachother instead of the other kids. Good or bad, we don't know but pretty fricken cute just the same! Here's Owen at his first day of school!

San Diego is expensive, both the housing market and well, living, but it is worth it when we get a beach day in the middle of February!

The sandbox once again. This time, Owen decided it was necessary to dawn the helmet, just in case Avery got crazy.

Last but not least, here is Franny bringing up the rear. This is one of her favorite spots. She sits here with her head resting on the cross bars of the dining room table waiting for the kids to drop ANYTHING. Tell me that is not the cutest face ever???
