Yes, I know it is already August. It was nearly impossible to post a blog with the kids this summer. I know, I know, I could have if I tried really hard but I didn't. Here goes! I have a few months and trips to catch up on.

This is the palm tree that Marissa climbed. Oh, yeah, she DID do it all by herself. All of the people around couldn't believe that she did it. The whole crowd cheered. Marissa flew by the other kid (who by the way was up there five minutes). He never rang the belll, but Marissa did. Go ROO!!!!!

Here she is on the way down after she rang the bell! That poor kid was too scared to move at that point.

Here is Elijah at the Natural History Museum. He wanted to take that Wooly Mammouth with us.

Marissa and Mommy with some COOL 3-D shades on!

Elijah with Elmo at Sea World. He wouldn't go near the real one but wanted to see him all day long.

Daddy, Isaiah, Elijah and Marissa at Coronado Beach (our favorite beach in the San Diego area)

Fun in the water. The kids LOVED the water. They were in it most of the day.

Mommy, Isaiah (can you tell he is cold?) and Marissa at Mission Beach. It was Ana's birthday (1year) and we had just arrived from Phoenix.

Ana, Aunt Sara and Isaiah at Ana's B-day party! She loved her cupcake. I think she even tried to eat two, I think!

Uncle Tom spending some quality time with Marissa. She LOVES her uncle.
