A Day at the Beach

We spent the day at the beach with our helper, Ms Jamie. It would be hard to manage all of them solo, since they all run in different directions now. Everyone went in the water today. Though it was gloomy, it did warm up enough to get some time in the waves. I love to see how much the kids enjoy the waves crashing over them, finding seashells and building sandcastles ;)


Gloomy, but warm enough for some fun at the beach

Little feet, notice my perma-sandal tan lines? Mark of a true southern Californian ;)


Look at those waves!

Happy Father's Day!






Yay for dads!!

Ok, so I know it's been a while and I'm getting some complaints ;) It's been pretty busy lately and since I don't get a lot of time on my laptop anymore ( thanks to Ms. Kaylee), phone is my only option for blogging. It's been super busy around here too!

We had a nice Father's day weekend. We hit the mall this weekend to get Mark's daddy's day gift, a new iPhone 3gs iPhone! Which means, I get his old one! Yay!!

While we were there, we also swung by Macy's sale to check out an ice cream maker for my bday present. As luck would have it, it was on sale, so I picked up one and a few other cool kitchen things.

Today we made breakfast for daddy, which was more like lunch. Buttermilk Biscuits, Rosemary potatoes and bacon.



After that, spent most of the day cleaning, playing with the kiddos and then baking cupcakes & making homemade ice cream for daddy.

I grilled up some burgers on the planchar and oven fries. Nothing too complicated, since we wanted to save room for dessert/daddy's gift.





They are chocolate cupcakes with milk chocolate ganache. The iPhone icons are fondant and edible. We had also had banana carmel chocolate ice cream, homespun in the new ice cream maker.






Kaylee certainly enjoyed it!



After the celebration, the kiddos "camped out" in the den.



Great weekend!!
