Swimming at NanaNana & TataTata's House

He is getting braver and holding his breath longer.
She said she was cold and this is what she does.

Mike gave their diving board a work out.
He said I didn't hurt, but it sure sounded like it did.
 They wanted (key word wanted) to jump off the diving board like daddy did but this is as far as they got.
 Then Mike pulled them in.

She is still small enough to ride in this infant floater.
NanaNana and Bella watching us swim
 Stephanie came by also and couldn't stop laughing at Monique. She didn't want candy, instead she ate a bowl of cheese and ate it by the spoon full!
Thanks for the pictures Steph.

Happy Birthday Nina Chanin

 We got to celebrate with Monique's Nina before they headed back home to WA.

I love that the kids wouldn't take their eyes off the cake.
We have been practicing for a three legged race :)

Birthday Camping Weekend

WOW what a weekend! We always go camping for my birthday the first weekend of August. This one was extra special because we were able to celebrate with my sister-in-law Chanin, who's birthday is two days after mine.
Cheers to us. We are ready to party!
 Time to set up
Where is everyone?
Yea a trailer to play in.
Here we all are
Over the weekend we had 64 people (this includes kids, adults and 6 strangers that just came to party with us) 3 dogs, 22 cars, 10 tents and 3 trailers.

We went on some rides
Monique taking Dora and Nino David for a ride!
Played a little washers
My Tata even got in on a game!
Enjoying the campfire
Some of the little one sleeping around the campfire!
 Did a little drinking
 And a little cooking

Every year I look forward for my little sisters to do my hair and make-up for the party.
While my Tia's decorate

Pinata Time
Mike always does a good job.
Happy Birthday to us! Chanin and my cousin Jacob who's birthday is a week later.
Good job Monique!
Wyatt broke it and got to be the turtle!
Monique finally warmed up to her Nina when she gave her a sucker!
Tata check out all the candy we got!
Cake time, camping style; the best way I might say.
The best sopapilla makers
Happy Birthday to us! (check out Alex's hat(s)
We know who he gets his silliness from, Grandpa Phil!!!!
It's a sweater! Yes, I did turn 33 years old.
After a late couple of nights of celebrating it was nice to just sit and relax on Sunday
The girls can just sit and enjoy some seeds
The boys have to be sitting in the dirt playing.
We are all packed up or down now, and they are still having fun!
Thank you for another great birthday to all my family and friends!
