Big Girl Bed!

That's right, Alli now has a big girl bed!  She spent last night helping Mike put it together, and today she took her first nap in it (a success!) and is sound asleep in it as I type this.  Hopefully (fingers crossed), it will be a good night tonight!

Helping Daddy!

It goes right there.

I'm such a good helper, aren't I?

Daddy agrees!

I really get into my work!

It would be so much easier if Daddy would just let me use the cordless screwdriver. :)

This piece is next!

The finished product:  One BIG GIRL BED!

Checkin' out the awesome sweetness!

It's like I'm a giant!

I love it!

Bunny, George, Jelly Bean, don't you just love it?!

Yeah, they do!

Night-night!

More Beach Fun!

Summer is here!

We've been taking advantage of the nice weather and spending some quality time at the park.

Faster, Daddy!

We've also been hanging out at the beach.  It's so nice having Tugboat Park just five minutes from our house!

Uncle Mark found some crabs!

Don't they seem so sad in the bucket?  Time to throw them back into the water!

Chase is a big crab fan!

Cousins hard at work.

Aunt Tiffany wanted to play in the sand, too!

Uncle Mark wanted a turn to make a sand castle.

Chase and I helped top off his masterpiece.

Aren't shadows cool, Landon?

Oooh, I'm a daredevil, now!

Action!

Picking flowers.

Friends and Family Fun!

Watering the flowers is one of my favorite things right now!

Spaz and Neat Freak at the water table. :)  (We love you, Julian!)

Must refill my watering can!  The flowers NEED ME!

Tugboat Park.

Picnic on the beach!

C'mon, Mom, enough with the pictures.  Just let us eat our peanut butter in peace!

Searching for buried treasure so I can add to my bling collection.

Ew, Mom's holding a crab!  Get that thing away from me!!

Julian is much less prissy than me and so very brave! :)

Julian, slow down or you'll end up in the... too late.  Julian went into the water up to his waist, fully clothed. NO WAY am I doing that!

I have no idea how I got sand in my hair.

We love Auntie Laura and Julian! 

This is the life!

Hey, Julian, thanks for coiming to the beach with us!

After an afternoon at the beach, bathtime IMMEDIATELY followed. :)

Enjoying the best burgers and milkshakes in town!

Best... milkshake...ever!  Oh, no!  I think we've reached the bottom!

The Hansons came over for a weekend in Anacortes.  We had such a great time!

Grandma, this is how I snuggle!

Mama is sooooo silly!

I love Grandma!

We love Grandpa too!

The gang's all here!

Smores, anyone?  Too bad we didn't have marshmallows... or chocolate bars... and no one seemed too excited about plain graham crackers.  We'll be better prepared next time.

Cabo came too!  It's so fun to see him when he visits!

Daddy is a great mode of transportation!
