Balboa Beauties

Here ya go Brayds! Braydee wanted me to post some pics from the beach house this year...unfortunately i don't have the cute ones uploaded yet...and NONE of these are edited but here's a few to hold you over.




good idea mom...lets dress in fall colors in the middle of summer...orange brown and green...ew. round two was SO much cuter...and so much more "us"...ill just have to keep you all in suspense until i get around to posting them.

Summer Bummer

I can't believe it's almost time for Halloween...

I'm just not ready yet to say goodbye to summer...I live for the barefoot carefree days. I am the laziest blogger ever Rick finally helped me clear some memory a couple days ago so im finally uploading pics off my camera. Hopefully I'll be better about this now.

Hooray for Easter!

Well this post isn't as late as most, but that's only because I still haven't posted about ten that I meant to so...those will just have to be extra late so I can get these up here. Obviously these are not edited AT ALL but if I wait for that to happen, it probably never will. Here's a few shots of the kids in their Easter clothes when we went up to Utah to visit Braydee and Jeff for the annual snowboarding trip.

The kids were super stoked when I told them that sunglasses were on clearance buy one get one free at childrens place and they got matching glasses for their outfits. For some reason my kids love to wear glasses...

especially Marley. She will wear them all day if I let her. Weirdoyes Dylans hair looks sick because he was WAY in need of a haircut...don't worry i cut it before this post is over. Dylan loves to throw in his randomness whenever he can...i think that's like the zen praying move he's doing there with the fingers....who knows but the face def goes with it. After some frozen fingers I decided to thaw my kids out inside on Braydees beautiful couch. I love the color...I know these next pics are insanely dark. Sorry.

Marley just wasn't feelin it. So i snapped one or two then made Dylan make up for it. Sorry Dyl

This next one is one of my favs...it just really captures his personalityonce again, what a weirdoonto the Pasadena egg hunt at Nana and Bumpas...for some reason most of my pics are of either the back or side of marleys head. probably cause she will NEVER hold still for even a second for a photo. ugh cute little piggies thoi love these with nanas white flowers, aren't they pretty? shes an awesome gardenersomeone (okay DADDY) forgot Marleys cute matching socks and shoes..so the poor kid went barefoot. Oh well...I triedBri hid an egg on the roof! Silly Bri...Once Marley figured out there was candy in the eggs...the hunt suddenly became a lot more fun and a lot less pointlessi just love those chubby cheeks...she spent a good ten minutes tryin to get that one openLittle Miss Aisley Kay...she's gonna be a beauty, just like her mama!thats better...i told you i cut his hairI'm still learning about angles and lighting...so bear with meWhat a poserPoser #2...actually number one, dyl is still learning all he knows from this oneI usually get quite a few of thesebefore i get any of these...but they're well worth it once i get them. I love this pic because I got Nana's smile in the background and didn't know it until just now when I was doing this post. Now i love this picture.Marley has developed her own method for opening the eggs...she grabs an egg...sticks it in her mouth
and bites just hard enough to make it pop...still hasn't broken a single one yet!now that's talent! I am not joking. This is how she opened each and every one of them...what a crazy girl
And last but not least, little Rylyn Reese...she is super cute and Marley wants to eat her up every time she sees her. She's such a good baby and is so much fun, always smiling and laughing

Well, that's it for now...hopefully Braydee will get off my back for a little while. Easter was so fun and we especially loved that conference was the same day. It was a very special, spiritual Sunday.

I was in the kitchen a few weeks ago and heard this scream come from the living room...i ran in to find dyl flying down the stairs on our sled, laughing hysterically...so of course i grabbed my camera and made him do it again. Enjoy.

What did u do last week?

Probably not this...unless you also live in Southern California and are enjoying an 80 degree winter...

I love this next one
run Lilly run! (dyl has a hard time with l's so this is wiwwy...kinda cute)

drippin' wet

time to dry off on the bikesCan you tell how much this kid hates riding bikes?love the shirtless back...such a boy!

ok...anyone that has a son is welcome to move onto our street...dyl is surrounded by girls. which, by the way he doesn't mind showing off for...just like his daddy :)

they came up with this pose all on their own

a few days later Ty and Crew came down for a visit...so there were plenty of nights spent in Grandma Daltons awesome spa

Marley just ADORES Nash. He's not so sure about her...all he knows is that when she's around he's bound to be knocked over by her attempt at a hug. He keeps his eyes on her whenever she's nearby, it's really funny. They're about four months apart and he is the cutest little chunk ever...he totally reminds me of my baby Dyl...aw...he's growing up so fast!

Mar and Matthew...sorry for the red eyes...this is a rush so im not editing anything

These two were too funny together, two peas in a pod

gotta have a shot of the half bum suits...don't you just love that?

anyways it was a super fun week...summer we are excited that you are just around the corner.
