Beach Yesterday...Nothing today

 We had another fun day at the beach yesterday.  

Rest of country goes back to school + we don't = close parking, great beach spots and no crowds.  LOVE IT!  Halls and Lemons joined us for a day of waves, sun and fun.  I do love the beach.

What should we do today? You can tell by the picture we are in desperate need of cleaning the house, but who really wants to do that?  Not Ben! Not me really either.  Amber and I have spent much of the week at Irvine Singers boot camp.  Justin has had two a days for football.  Tomorrow is super busy with Charger certification, the pep rally and IHS football kick-off dinner.  So today?  We should clean, but maybe we will lay around and do nothing for a bit first...

Natalie Visits

Marin and Natalie have been planning Natalie's visit since Marin stayed at her house last summer.  We had lots of fun.  They went to a movie all on their own, played at the beach, saw "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", swam in the pool for hours day and night, played miniature golf and had cupcake wars.  We are so glad she got to come play!!!

 Natalie, Karly and Marin the boogie board models!

 Cupcake Wars!  They tasted soooooo good.  I don't think the picture really does them justice because they were so pretty.  Both were vanilla cupcakes.  One had cream cheese lime frosting with coconut and limes on top.  The other had a strawberry cream cheese frosting with chocolate and strawberries.  They both really worked on both cupcakes, so it wasn't really a war, but we enjoyed the eating!!!

Cute cousins and best friends!
