take me back...

{to when homework only took five minutes}
boy have these last couple of weeks been a roller coaster ride.

this weekend was such a good time off though:)
it was amazing to be able to catch up on sleep! i never thought i would need so much to function...
thank you for Labor Day!

it's raining, it's pouring!

{you have no idea how long we have been waiting for this!}
we woke up to pouring rain today:) and you know what that means... its starting to cool down! YESSS! which means no more having to walk home in the blazing sun when it feels like its 120 degrees outside and you feel like dying (especially when the bus stop is 2 blocks away)
we are so excited!:)

beach babes

so after our sea world adventure, we headed to the beach:) we had a ton of fun in the water and sand, for those who didn't get in. kameron's rashes on his legs were starting to come back after spending some time in the water with us so he had to sit it out for the rest of the time, but ended up making an awesome sand castle before we left. kerianne, dad, and kenners went on a little adventure under the dock and found some of the smallest crabs i have ever seen! {well... some of the only crabs i have ever seen in person} the girls were so excited they found them, until they heard the news they couldn't take them home with us. california was a great getaway, and we are looking forward to the next time we can go!

our little friend

so as we were walking out of our hotel to head to the beach on sunday, mom and kerianne noticed this little lizard by the door to the stairs we had come out of. so just to show how little this thing really was, kerianne put her thumb up to it...


even though this thing was tiny, she kept her finger as far away from it as possible just to be safe:)

cirque de la mer

so this weekend we headed up to San Diego to go to Sea World and we had so much fun! im pretty sure that we hit every one of the shows, and they were all pretty amazing! but i think we all pretty much enjoyed the Cirque de la Mer the best:) it was seriously jaw dropping and so hilarious! so i would highly recommend seeing it next time you go:)

17 years in action

to start off...

HAPPY 17th ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD!
we only thought it would be appropriate for our first post:)
man, how the years go by. (like we would know...)
we love all the attention and love we receive from you and we couldn't wish for anything better.
from changing diapers to going bra shopping, you have always been there.
we all know that we can come to you for anything, anytime:)
there is always a sense of comfort in the home knowing that your parents care.
being together as a family brightens everything.
so in return, we wish you the best anniversary this year:)
WE LOVE YOU!
