Awe, cuz.

Townsend just does not get any cuter.. Rufus the dog is trying hard to be in the photos, too. Campbell can't keep up with Mr. Army scoot/ crawl cruiser. So stinkin cute.

Seasick no more

Another buddy along for the father-son fishing escapade.. obvi, they ran into a LOT of albacore.. we've been having fish 100 ways here... tuna burgers, tuna steaks, tuna gumbo..

This marks the first trip on which Justin hasn't gotten seasick. I mean, he doesn't even like the Small World ride at Disneyland. j/k.. but seriously... previous boats have had to turn around or send him swimming back to shore.

Surf Camp

Jadyn says surf camp was "the most fun in my whole 'tire life"... quotable quotes include the first day, getting into her wetsuit.. the girls were getting a (very) little on-land instruction and she says to me, "This is so awesome. I'm going to learn the REAL way to surf, not the DAD way." um, not quite..
trying to copy big sis as usual..
waxing the board?
finally remembered the 'ZINCA' for the last day.. the 'final heat'

the adoring little brothers... spent all day, every day watching their sisters at the beach this week

Cinderella car.. the next generation..

I think someone small has his sights set on driving this thing.. of course the big kids are pros at showing the little ones how to drive. Auntie Jenna's present lives on... we love you.

has anyone seen the blue chalk?
