At the beach






Here's a few pictures of the kids at the beach at Schyler's parents house on Camano Island. The kids just love the beach! They're not like California beaches, but they're really neat. They're rocky, and when the tide's out, you can go down and turn over rocks and just find tons of fun little creatures. There are tons of crabs, star fish, sea anemones, little eels, and lots of mussels and clams. It's totally tubular! Anyway, the kids just have a blast when we go there! You can't really see the crabs, but they're holding them in the pictures. Brooklyn wanted to turn over her own rocks and find her own crabs, so she was alone in most of the pictures. She's my little Miss Independence!

We survived

We are all moved in! Well, almost. We still have a few boxes to unpack, but it's over. We moved to North Tacoma, for those of you who didn't know. Our house was extremely dirty and pretty much nauseating when we moved in, but it's clean now, and we love it. It's a big fixer, so we're going to start with the kitchen floor. We just picked out our tile, so we'll start hopefully in the next few days! Now I just need to find a preschool for Riley. He is so excited to go to school. He carries around his little backpack all the time and says he's going to school. He is definitely ready! He can spell, on the verge of reading. He knows all his letters, upper and lower case, and he can spell anything! He's just starting to recognize little words, so he's almost there! I know I'm bragging, but I'm just so proud of him. He loves to learn. Brooklyn's talking up a storm, singing and dancing her way through life. She loves music and screaming. She screams a lot, and I'm not sure what to do about that. She is very active and loves to be outside. She also loves taking Riley's toys from him and running away, laughing, as fast as she can. Then, when Riley catches her, she screams bloody murder. She's a little crazy! But we love her. I do have pictures to post, but I haven't downloaded them from my camera to the computer, and I don't know where the wire for that is! As soon as I find it, pictures galore, baby. Till then, take care everyone!
