Belated Birthday Posts

Since I'm trying to catch up on the blogging, I have included pictures from Andrew's and Ashlyn's birthdays in July and August. Andrew is now five years old and started kindergarten two weeks ago! Ashlyn had her FIRST birthday and started walking two days after her birthday!! Finally some of that baby fat will burn off her bulky frame!

Andrew's Alien cupcakes...he loved them!

Newport Beach (JULY)

All three kids had a blast at the beach. Andrew loved running out as far as he could before his dad or uncles came to "rescue" him. Maddie loved filling her shovel with water from the ocean, then walking across the sand only to put one tiny drop of the water into her bucket! And Ashlyn...I learned she has no fear of water...once she found the ocean, we could not keep her out of it!

Legoland (JULY)

Our family by the front entrance

Maddie wanted to stand by the lego man...for some reason, Drew was terrified.

Maddie doing what she had to do most of the time...watch Drew have fun. She was barely too short for many of the rides...
