Our first beach trip this year(2006)

It is warm enough for the beach! We headed out for a few hours Sunday to play in the sand. The water was chilly but that didn't stop us from dipping in our toes. Of course that meant that Morgan and Madison left soaked! We even got to stop for icecream on the way home!

There were lots of birds flying around, especially seagulls and pelicans!

Morgan and Madison played together building sand castles! Then they found more kids to play with and had a blast.

Hazel finally got to play in the sand!


First she tried hitting the sand..

And then she got her first real "taste" of the beach!

After failing to stop her from ruining her dinner, back up she went to walk along the beach with mommy. We just love that fresh air and all the wonderful sounds of the beach. Very relaxing!

Daddy got some picture of the sunset. A wonderful end to a wonderful day!

Morgan's 5th Birthday Party

WOW! Morgan is FIVE years old. Here she is all dressed up in her new dress.

We had a birthday party and some of Morgan's school friends got to come.

Mom made heart shaped cupcakes. All of the kids got to decorate them with icing, sprinkles, marshmallows and different kinds of candy. Yummy!

Morgan got lots of wonderful presents.

Madison wanted to help open the one she got for her.

Not everyone could stay awake for all of the fun.... Hazel had way too much excitement for one day.
