Beach babes

We went to North Beach on the last weekend of summer last year so it was only fitting that we go back the first summer of this year.  Max could not wait (he was out of bed screaming to leave at 6:00am- thanks, clock) to get back to every detail he remembered from last summer, especially the pirate ship.  Kira could not crawl/walk/scoot the last summer and she had a blast with her new found mobility!

Max and his suit grew since last summer 

Daddy buried the babies and they loved it!

This ball of energy cannot stand the car.  Apparently it is genetic, as this was the first long-ish car ride that Max maintained  his composure.  It was only one hour and ten minutes, guys!

Max is belting out, "Circle of Life"

Kira built herself a sand bed

This is what five hours at the beach looks like. 

This is what a double 45 minute cat nap looks like.  

TGIF!

Block party, Friday!

Breaking out the baby pool

Baby bathing suit season has arrived!  

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, all the fish...

No shortage of sunglasses at our house!  Max was at a basketball game with daddy, so we had some girl time lounging by the pool.

Max pic-o-the-day: refusing to get out of bed when his clock was actually green, because he was so tired from waking up circa 6am.  He has a few more days of 'pink eye' drops and he hates (screams and kicks bloody murder) for each and every three drops daily.  Tonight, however, he told daddy (in his foe teenager voice), "Oh, hey dad, I love eye drops it's so fun when you put drops in my eyes".  

Take her out to the ballgame

Get me on that field!

Sometimes baseball can be a bit boring...

Max was so excited for his tball game so we wore his uniform to school 

Max busted out at 6am, but was coaxed back into his room where he waited until his clock actually turned green at 6:30.

Bed head

Kira enjoys working on her hair brushing technique, but sometimes she gets 'brush your hair' confused with [her favorite thing ever] 'brush your teeth'.

"It's green!"  It is!

Nope, not a doggie.

Little Kira needs some wheels 

Always running after her brother 

So happy that Kira is feeling all better today!

Sick x 2

Kira is sick and Max has pink eye.  Not the best start to the week, but on the bright side, it is not supposed to rain 24-7 this week.

Dancing can be dangerous (for Max)

Kira twirls her hands when she dances in the absolute cutest way possible.  

Kira would sleep with her tooth brush if she could 

"I listened!!!!" Max proudly announced this morning as he barreled into our bedroom, holding his new clock to prove he waited until it turned green to get out of bed.  Beginners luck?  Probably!  Also, the "wake time" was set to 6:30am, which Max will typically sleep until on the Monday morning after minimal weekend z's.  Still, great job, Max.  

Shady

"Kira! You have rainbow glasses, too!"

Poor girl was still sick all day but that did not stop her from Baby Love jamming  

Group hug at Avery's gymnastics birthday party! (Max is squeezed right in the middle). It was sweet seeing him with Riley and Avery again.

Can we stop smiling so I can start using this pen?

Double forking the heck out of a scrumptious Peppa the Pig cake

Max is obsessed with the rainbow pen in Avery's goodie bag.  He drew a picture of Jose, the gymnastics party teacher, and sung some wacky gymnastics song all evening.
