Summer 2010--We went to the beach!

Okay--I've posted about a zillion pics from the beach, but how could I not when it was such an amazing vacation?! We stayed for a week in Carlsbad, Calif with the Carpenters, Walkers, and Wrights. It was SO relaxing, and we had a blast. We spent almost every day lounging on the beach, enjoying each other's company. There were daily late-afternoon frisbee football games, and some spent most of the week in the water (not me!). Because I took most of the pics, I'm not in hardly any of them, but there are some great ones of the kids.

Rob, Brady, Colton, Cade, ?

Talia is taking lessons from Sarah on how to....

pose perfectly for pictures!

My girls!!

Cody loves flavored drinks of any kind, and was in 7th heaven because he got Capri Suns and Slurpees all week long!

Chris took all the girls one night for a slurpee run

Olivia, Sophie, Josie, Talia posing next to "the hole" with Cody

Chris is going to take those glasses off and get ready to kick some frisbee butt!

Cody--this kid goes non-stop, and had an absolute riot climbing in and out of the holes that the older boys dug.

Talia, Olivia, Sarah

By the end of the week, even the big kids were worn out!

Cody took a daily nap on the beach. Thanks to Aunt Jen Jen for singing him to sleep every afternoon! Jen was really my personal nanny for the week--as long as she was around, I didn't need to worry about where Cody was, cuz he was usually with his Jen-Jen! We both miss her now that she doesn't live in Utah anymore!

More of a tuckered-out Cody

Josie, Talia, Robbie

Robbie loves this picture because you can see the ball in mid-air

Robbie and Cade

Isn't he adorable? The humidity curled his hair perfectly, and he looked like a little shaggy-haired surfer dude all week.

Our family

Is it just me, or does anyone else think they have almost identical faces?

Colton, Brady, and Rob looking "too cool" for the camera!

Sarah and Kaden--these two are little BFF's despite the gender and age difference. They played for hours together in the water, and Sarah was SO BORED when Kaden would take a nap in the afternoon.
