Gracie has been asking to go to the beach lately and today was the day. We packed up our beach toys, blanket and sunscreen and headed to check out Imperial Beach. We found a great (free) parking space. We loaded the stuff and the girlies into the double jogger and hit the beach. We played for about an hour and they girlies had so much fun. Gracie even wanted to walk down to the water and put her feet in!--that water was COLD! We can't wait to go back SOON.

We enjoyed the quite the yummy treat after dinner this evening.

We received this outfit as a baby shower gift for Allie. It was fun to finally put her in it for church tonight.

for a good evening: Taco Bell and a new Backyardigans DVD. Awesome.

Gracie stayed outside and played with the table for another hour! Next time we will put Allie in her swim suit since she LOVES to splash! And, a video of the action:

We had a wonderful weekend and a great Mother’s Day yesterday. On Saturday morning, we took the kids to the re-opening of a children’s bookstore. They had fun looking around and listening to an author read her book. After that, we went to the mall and checked out the sale at Children’s Place . We found some really cute shorts and tanks for the girlies. Gracie got a new hat and they both got a pair of new shoes and a little purse. They wore a new stripped skirt and purple butterfly shirt to church on Saturday night. They were so cute(and they matched)! On Sunday morning, Nate made pancakes and bacon. YUM. The girls LOVE pancakes. After breakfast, Nate took some pics of me and the girlies. We were on the couch with the window open behind us—I thought that we give our dark living room some nice natural light. When I downloaded pics, there was a ton of light behind our heads. We were going to take some more later and forgot—hopefully soon.  A few we did get: After photos, we went to NEX
