San Diego

We took the RV down to San Diego at the end of July for a little trip. We were only gone about 5 days. It was nice to get away though and the weather was so much cooler down there than up where we live. We took a drive one day over to Coronado. I have lived here now for 12+ years and I have never been over to Coronado. We drove all the way around and ended up at Silver Strand Beach. I believe it's a state park. We paid to get in and then walked on the beach with the kids. There was a ton of seaweed. EWWW! Steve had his bathing suit on so he took the kids in the water. Kyle wasn't so much on it but Brooke of course loved it. Daddy decided to take her out in the big waves and we finally found something she doesn't like about the water. It was an enjoyable day.

The Ball Pit

We got this ball pit as a hand me down from some friends. This thing is going to be the death of me. The kids absolutely love it. There are about 50+ balls in this thing. We had it downstairs but decided to move it upstairs since there was more room. These balls are everywhere! I find them in our bedroom, on the staircase, in the BATH TUB, stinking everywhere. I find myself picking up these darn balls all the time. I am trying to teach the kids to help me put them back in but Kyle just jumps in the pit and throws more out. The never ending battle of the balls. We do however have some really cute pictures with them in it. Steve decided to get funny one night and put 2 balls down Brooke's shirt. The picture will speak for itself! Brooke has figured out that she can push the entire thing over and ALL of the balls come out. She thinks that is super fun. It is a blow up type of deal so they climb all over it. They are definitely our monkeys! That's why it was easy to decide on their Halloween costumes. MONKEYS! Brooke actually has so much upper body strength that she can scale the bathroom counter and hold her own body weight as she tries to get up on the counter. I'm guessing by the time she's 5, she'll be able to kick MY butt!

Kyle is Walking!

Well, at 14 months, Kyle is now really starting to walk. It amazes me how fast they pick it up. Just last week he was only taking about 2-3 steps. Today he has just taken off like something just clicked in his head. He is so different about his walking than Brooke. I don't know why I compare the 2 because they are soooo different. Kyle sort of marches when he walks. Now is when the double trouble starts since they are both walking. Other than that, the kids are great and growing like weeds. Here is a video of Kyle walking.
