A Day at Alki Beach...

Today we met Samar, George & Clive at Alki Beach. It was my first time...and of course Adam and Ava's too! What a beautiful day it was & what fabulous views Alki Beach has...just gorgeous!

Adam was too busy chatting with Samar to smile (Wow, can that kid talk!)
Trying to get a shot of Ava AND capture the view of the Space Needle...got Ava, but my camera isn't fancy enough to get the Space Needle...at least she looks cute!

Adam's stick masterpiece!

Matching boys...

The Sams & Gables came down for the night...and when we went to get the boys in their PJ's...look who was matching...Mason & Adam!

I just LOVE these two munchkins!

Having their morning milk & watching Sesame Street. (Adam just loves when Ava sits with him to watch his cartoons!) Adam giving Ava a ride...smiles from ear to ear on both of them!

Soaking up the Sun...

Ava looked too cute sitting there eating her grapes & sipping on water, while soaking up the sun...had to snap a picture of her!

Captain Screamer!

Today we had a few stops to make...Paper Source & Container Store, of course!...at Bellevue Square, which automatically means we MUST visit the "Kid's Cove"...this being the first visit with Ava able to really get around...our walking machine! To say the least...she had SO MUCH FUN! She screamed with excitement just walking around & especially when she was on the "Meydenbauer" ferry...by far, her favorite! It was fun just watching her! (And I certainly wasn't the only one!)

Adam's New Ride...

Adam got his first big boy bike...with training wheels...and hasn't stop riding it yet! To say he LOVES it, wouldn't even cover it! Thanks Poppy & Gramma!

Congratulations Cousin Alli!

Thanks to my Mom giving me her old camera (not really that old...she just got a newer one!)...I am back in action...thanks Mom!

Today we are off to cousin Alli's high school graduation party...Ava looked too cute in her new outfit...we had to snap some pre-party pictures! And the back...

And finally, Ava's way of saying "cheese"!

Scott & Annie have real horses & play ones...Adam LOVES them all! (He also rode "Mickey"...a real horse...(Adam rides him every time we are here and talks about him ALL the time!)...but I was busy chatting!) Wow...doesn't he look so old in this picture!

Another "Cheese"! for Ava...

Sweet cousin Ashtyn...

Ava thought the trampoline was hilarious! And Adam had no problem bouncing her around!

Loving it!

The swing is always a favorite, too!

Ava is hit or miss with pools...she seems to be enjoying them more & more. We put her in this tugboat and she just chilled, floating around for probably a solid hour!

I never did get a picture with Alli...oops!
