Another Month Has Flown By

CORONADO BEACH

On one of Ryan's rare days off, we headed to our favorite beach to enjoy the sun and have a picnic.

All the boys loved being at the beach together! (Check out Ryan's life guard tower graduation cap in this picture. I love my graduate!)

Joshy really liked having a picnic and now requests "dinner" and "nacks" (snacks) anytime we get our big blanket out.

Sam ventured off the picnic blanket to taste the sand. I think he liked it!


SWINGING AT THE PARK

I recently discovered that I can push all 3 of my boys on the swings if I have Ben and Sam share one swing.

I think these swings were designed for twins! Why else would they put leg holes on both sides?

They really love it!

Joshua loves swinging with his brothers, but has recently wanted to be the one pushing them in the swings.

Swinging is pretty much all these little guys can do at any of the parks we go to, so it's a good thing they like it.

My three swinging monkeys...

...having so much fun!


SEA WORLD

We like to check on Shamu swimming around in his tank. Here he is swimming upside down.

Here's Joshy with Tio (aka Mike). Joshy is looking at a dolphin in the background.

"In da boat" with Daddy just outside Turtle Reef, which is one of our favorite areas at Sea World.

Having a great time seeing some of our favorite things like the seals and the penguins

Having a great time seeing the backs of their eyelids


MESSY FACES

It's popsicle weather... meaning that it is warm enough to eat these messy things outside!

Mr. Sweet Potato Head

The little boys love feeding themselves, which is helpful, but messy!


EASTER

Joshy just saw this picture and said, "He foun' it!" Yes, he did.

He loved finding every one of those eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Joshy got a practice run on hunting for eggs the day before Easter since Daddy was off.

He ate the contents of each egg as he found it. It's a good thing I didn't put much in them!


CUTE BOYS

They really love each other, which makes me so happy.

Cool dude Benjamin

Ben is so funny about sticking his little tongue out. Maybe he thinks that's what I want him to do when I say, "Smile" or "Say cheese."

Here's a classic, super-excited Benjamin face. I love it! I wonder what Sam is thinking?

Two cute, happy boys!


DISNEYLAND

Here we are on the "It's a Small World" ride. It broke down for a few minutes while we were on it, which is how we were able to have someone take our picture.

Everyone loved the ride especially Ben and Sam. Just look at those amazed little faces! They just scream, "WOW!"

Joshy and I got to see Mickey at his house, which Joshy loved. It looks like he was scared of Mickey in this picture, but he was not. He gave Mickey a hug and a high five and a fist bump before we left.

Joshy loved driving Daddy around on the Autopia.

The little boys had so much fun and didn't even mind having to wait in line. Here they are waiting in line for the Peter Pan ride.

Yay! We're at Disneyland!


TORREY PINES

It was the perfect evening for a walk along the beach. It definitely felt like spring!

Joshy said he was scared of the water for some reason, so Daddy got to hold him and keep him safe.

Sam and Ben were pretty happy to be in their stroller cruising along the beach around sunset.

Here's contented little Sam...

...and exuberant Benjamin.
