More Beach

Digging a hole with papa.




Beach boy hair.



Knocking down daddy's castle.

Little Beach Buds

Today my buddy Garrett came to the beach and he was pretty shy about the sand at first (I am used to the beach by now) but eventually we played in the sand.




I think we brought these chairs to the beach for the parents but the boys had other ideas. Bryce actually pulled Andrew out of his for this one.



Hey, why is he trying to take the ball away?

(my camera was a little hazy from the salt water)

The Beach!

We made it.



Playing with cousin Levi. (nicely at this point)


Levi and papa.


Testing out the surf with my daddy.




"The fever's gone, let's go!"

(this is from a surf movie, Bryce does not have a fever)

Spoon Training

The road to self reliance is fraught with yogurt-flavored obstacles.

If Lunch Looks Like This

it must be good, and even if it is not good, it must at least be fun.

Mini-Vacation

Bryce survived his first night away from us with flying colors (I am pretty sure he didn't even miss us, with all the fun and kiddos to play with at Grannie's house). Andrew and I went to Sequoia National Park and did some hiking and took some fun artsy photos to put in our house, since that's something we like to do together, and there's still a lot of room for them on the walls. Here are a few of the not as artsy ones.


I find myself amused by taking pictures of Andrew while he is taking pictures. Possibly because he doesn't like to have pictures taken and so the ones where he is actually looking at the camera are few and far between. I call this one legless man in the forest.



And this one Andrew getting beamed up. It really was quite beautiful there and the weather was perfect.

Going to Papa and Grannie's House

Tomorrow we are going to have a long overdue very-mini vacation, while Bryce has his first overnight without us. He seems like he's ready to go. Thankfully he hasn't figured out the zipper on his suitcase yet, since it's all packed already.
