the family jail

We all went to a restaurant the other night in Monarch Beach and they
put us in jail. Well it was a booth that was turned into a jail. The
food was good and they let us out after we paid.

Bella's new Hair accessories

I went upstairs with my cousin Alex the other day to get a hairclip.
This is how I looked when I came back downstairs.

Check out my sweet new tattoo... I am joining the Kobra Kai.

Bella likes the hair

Check out Pa's windswept hair after we took him to Orange County
airport in the back of the Jeep!

Time with Pa

We have been so lucky to have Pa staying with us for the last couple of months... we thought we would share some of the highlights of his time with us grandkids... - the camping trip to June Lake, taking hikes, getting dirty and driving in the car - Bella getting to go over to Catalina for the night with Pa (and Mommy/Daddy) - helping Pa make his green tea in the morning - Leighton getting to play on this train set with Pa - lunchtime picnics in the park with Pa and Tina - staying at the beach house in Leucadia and squishing the seaweed with our feet - Bella and Daddy taking Pa to the airport in the topless Jeep. He had crazy hair when we arrived at the airport - decorating our coffee mugs to give to Pa - petting rabbits, guinea pigs, emus and goats at the petting zoo Thanks Pa for being patient with us when we tried to help you, answering all our questions about everything from shoes to toothbrushes, helping put our shoes on, playing in the backyard and just spending time with us. We love you!

Here I am on one of my June Lake hikes. I hiked this with my Nana.
Plus she gave me this hat!

Our camera picked up these two kids breaking into the fridge.

bella: summer spectacular

Last week at church we had Summer Spectacular... it was my first time... exciting stuff. Here i a with my shirt... I'll post my photos of how my shirt changed over the week!

bathtime with Leighton

Here I am getting clean, which is a good thing, because I like to get really dirty and messy during the day!

step right up, step right up!

We went to the OC Fair earlier this week... it was fun! The best part for our Daddy was Leighton and I (this is Bella) playing the basketball at sideshow alley. We each got one shot. Leighton went first, close to the basket and made his shot! Then I stepped up, being older I had to shoot from a long way away. My parents didn't even think I'd make it to the basket, buit I showed them! I shot, and I scored! Here are some pics of us with the basketballs we chose as our prize.
