Beach, Cousins, and Friends

C'mon, Daddy, what's the hold up?

I may have bonked my head a few times under here.

The day Avery turned 11 months old, I caught her "eating" with one of Alli's toy spoons and a plastic hamburger patty!

Yum!

This eating thing is a piece of cake!

Odd, my mom still won't let me feed myself.

Washington Park - one of Alli's favorite places to go!

One, two, three, throw!

Getting close...

the toe is in...

ooh, COLD!!

Throwing rocks is an artform.

I was having fun, too!

Giggles!

And more giggles!

Our frequent visitor returns.

Aww, hugs!

Say cheese, Avery!

Say cheese, Alli!

Buddy Ian joined in on the fun, too!

We love chasing each other around and under the table!

How big is Avery?  THIS BIG!

At 11 months old, Avery is officially walking.  EVERYWHERE!

Plop!

Back at Washington Park with cousins Chase and Landon!

Hi, Chase!

Hi, Landon!

Ages two to four... and all the same size! :)

There's nothing better than throwing rocks in the water!

You two can HAVE the cold water; I've already tried that!

I wanna play with the big kids.

Thirsty, Chase?

C'mon, Landon!  Back to the water!

Lately, I am the happiest on the beach!

Alli is on the beach, Chase is running to catch up, and Landon stops to pick flowers. :)

Dosey-do!

Lisa, I am SOOOOOO good at the hidden pictures in my magazine!  Thanks, again!

I've got places to go!

Crawling is for babies!

Tinkerbell!

How on earth can you possibly tell that I just woke up?

Sweet Ruby came by to play!

Birthday buddies, Eva June and Avery!  We'll both be one in a couple of weeks!

Sorry, Eva, I've got places to go!

I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got to run!

C'mon, Eva and Ruby!  Come with me!

Our first attempt at getting all four kids in the same photo.  Avery, get back here!

AVERY!!!

Avery, FREEZE!!  Oh, I give up.

Trapped!  Now I can't run away!

Silly goose.

Our next post will be following shortly; our visit with Julian, Laura, and Big Willy demands its own post! ;)
