More Water Fun

Took some pics of the monkeys drinking water from their shovels. (we washed them first...although they've both eaten dirt and sand before...) For some reason, Eva thinks it's hilarious to spit the water back out...lovely. Not very becoming of a "princess" in her rainbow sundress! My apologies for the extreme close-up.

Beating the Heat

The kids, especially Eva, love getting wet either in the pool, with the splash table, sprinkler or the water hose. I don't know why I don't just dress them in swimsuits every day. It never fails, they end up soaked. I snapped some photos last week of Keith hosing them down. Dylan got splashed in the face, and as you can see was not happy. Is it bad that I took a picture before comforting him?! I couldn't resist. :)

Dylan

How much do I love capturing candid moments of the kids? ***THIS MUCH***

Eva asked to set up the pool this week, so I grabbed my camera thinking I might get some pics of them splashing around. Dylan was more interested in his dump truck though...and after getting these shots, I'm so glad he was.

4 going on 14

Finally getting around to taking the kids 4 yr and 2 yr photos. Here is Miss Eva modeling and posing. She loves having her photo taken(can you tell?). No more bribing with dum-dums! (now she just asks for gum when we're done) After we finished she couldn't wait to view them on the computer. Her favs were all the ones where her head is cocked to one side. Funny. By the way, she picked the dress and dictated how she wanted her hair. Of course by the time we drove to our photo spot, her hairdo was falling apart. All she'll wear lately are dresses, the twirlier the better...can we say 'miss priss?' (still loves her dinosaurs though!)

Easter Weekend

I'm a little bit behind in posting these pics. Eva was really into the cascarones this year, but as you can see in the photos...Dylan, um, not so much!

San Diego

We're getting back into the swing of things. The kids are still catching up on sleep. Even Eva has taken several two hour naps this week.


We had a wonderful time in San Diego and Disneyland. We couldn't have asked for better weather. San Diego was BEAUTIFUL and we've decided it is now our favorite vacation destination. For Eva's actual birthday we went to the San Diego zoo, which was very nice. We saw a mother panda and her baby which Eva thought was so cool and cute. They of course loved visiting all the beaches and picking up all the kelp that washes ashore. Keith and I haven't been to Disneyland since we were kids, so that was a an exciting and new experience for all of us. And we happened to be there the day that Captain EO (Michael Jackson sci-fi 3D) reopened, which was cool. Last April we went to Disney World and Dylan was too young to enjoy it like Eva. But what a difference 9 months makes. He was so excited to see and meet the characters and LOVED the rides. I haven't seen him so well behaved. As long as we were waiting in line for a ride or show (even the shuttle to the parking lot) he was happy. We already knew that Eva loves thrills rides, so we weren't surprised that she asked to ride Snow White and Pirates twice, and thought the Haunted Mansion was funny. She rode her first rollercoaster with Daddy which he videotaped. I'm glad that we have the video because we crack up every time we watch it, but at the same time I'm thinking 'he could've dropped our camcorder.' I've attached the video for your enjoyment. :)
