Emma must have known that to get much attention in this house you have to be able to do something cute. This is one of her first smiles. She loves it when mom and dad make crazy noises and faces. All Avila has to do is say her name and she gets one of the biggest smiles. They are already best friends. Avila loves it, someone to entertain besides mom and I love it
because now there is someone else to entertain Avila besides me!!!
Who said having 2 was more work. 2 kids and 2 checkups at the same time. Avila is holding her hand trying to get her to stop crying. She was VERY upset that the nurse gave Emma and "
owie" in her leg. Try explaining to a 1 1/2 year old why getting a shot in the leg helps Emma. All day I heard, "Emma....owie...Emma" while pointing to her leg. So sweet.
Avila has met her first boy crush. His name is Nick and lives
across the street. And yes he happens to be an older boy, 8 years older than her! She sits at the window and waits for him to come home from school. The minute she sees his dads truck round the corner she starts banging on the window screaming for him. Thankfully he not too cool to hang out with a baby yet. She likes to pretend to ride his scooter while he's taking a break. Nick also recently taught Avila that the "music truck" actually has ice cream in it. Thanks a lot Nick!

Morro Bay State Campground ready fun a weekend of fun
It was a little colder than expected, but we all had a lot of fun. Just more reason to have a big campfire!
Morro Rock Beach with Dad and a juice box (a special camping treat)
Mom and her girls
Emma spent most of the days snuggling in a warm blanket
grammie Patsy brought. Funny, she slept more hours at night in the tent than at home. Why is that? Slept 9-10 hours at night in the tent and sleeps 6-8 hours at home at night.
Hmmmmmm..... anyone else thinking Emma needs to sleep outside in a tent every night?
Avila LOVED sleeping in the tent! By the end of the weekend she was calling the tent "home" and went to bed in her sleeping bag without peeking out the door for mom and dad. Our little camper. Covered in dirt day and night and LOVING it...... sound a little like her dad maybe?
Morning till night Avila had two goals...... see how many laps she could walk around the campground and see how many grandparents wanted to walk with her. By the end of the weekend she had made a number of new friends with the rest of the campers and
their doggies.
Hmmmm, would you also say she's a bit like her mom?
Both of them passed out in the tent.
Such a fun weekend with the family and the kiddos.
I think we all loved it!
Here she is today. 4 days until we leave to visit Uncle Stephen and Auntie Megan in Hawaii again. Ready to play in the sand and splash in the wa-wa as Avila would say.
She LOVES playing in holes in the sand. She found this one while looking for sea shells. I'm not sure what she was pretending the hole was. One minute I thought she was pretending to swim in a pool and another minute she was pretending to sleep in it.
We went to our secret beach today. We were the only ones there for most of the time. I felt like we lived on a deserted island.........well at least until I looked behind me to see the road, cars, and the train in the distance.
