I Wish They All Could Be California Girls. . .

We have been having a great time here in San Diego. Most of our pictures are of the exact same thing, because we pretty much do the same thing over and over each day.

Our days consist mostly of: Going to the beach, Eating Sand, Cleaning sand out of Scout's mouth, Playing with cousins, Going to the pool, Cleaning sand out of Scout's diaper, Swimming, Going to the park, Cleaning Sand out of Scout's crevices, Cooking sweets, and Swimming some more at the pool.

THE POOL: My mom has worked as a monitor at a community pool since the summer after I was born. She is still monitoring this year- - - last week we were at the pool EVERYDAY. Scout gets so excited- she kicks her legs and swings her arms everywhere once she sees the pool.

Love this picture!

Even better!

I didn't realize how much we dress these two as twins. (My mom bought each of these suits, at two separate times, in two separate states, for two separate children, not knowing they were matching. . . What are the chances?) This of course calls for a photo shoot!

THE PARK:
Did I mention we like to go to the park. Scout and Austin are big fans of the swings. (Check out Scout's face- she is loving life right now)

Last week we celebrated our niece, Cosette's, 1st birthday. Ammon was picking the 'LA Deans' up from the airport, and Britt and I were trying to finish Cosette's cake real quick before they got home. As we were sloshing all around in frosting, I guess Scout was left unattended to entertain herself. I looked down and saw this beauty. . . she was digging all around in my mom's 20 pound container of powered sugar. Did she sleep that night?. . . I bet you can guess that answer.
Cosette's birthday cake.

Britt was so nice and offered to watch Scout for us so Ammon and I could go on a date. We went out to dinner at Pat & Oscars and went and saw 'Up' (in 3-D even. . . fancy). We brought Scout home our 3-D glasses, and she LOVES them.
TWINSIE PHOTO SHOOT!
Three years ago when we were living in Chicago, Britt and my mom came to visit. We bought these little outfits for us, Britt, and Brandon, figuring we'd all have kids someday. Halelula. . .the day is here. Scout and Austin both came tromping out in their outfits, and we couldn't resist getting a few pictures.

Patty-Cake anyone?
SOME MORE BEACH:
What does Scout like more than eating sand? Eating sandy oreos!

The sandy aftermath.


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

All the kids were dressed in their cute 'patriotic get-ups,' so we tried to get a picture. Believe it or not- this was the best we could get. Check out Cosette. Classic!

I went in our room to get Scoutie (as Avery likes to call her), after a nap, and this is the cute face that greeted me. Had to get a picture of it!

Austin, not knowing why Scout keeps stealing his binkie. Scout . . . steals it every time.

More Beach Pictures Anyone?

Can you tell that Scout and Austin are friends. The other day at La Jolla Shores, we looked over to find this.

Austin, getting a little 'fresh' with our daughter.

All this swimming is wiping us all out. I walked in the other day to our room, and found these two like this. A perfect end to a perfect day!

Looks like so much fun! I want to come back now that the weather is nice. It looks like you're having too much fun to want to move back to Utah...I don't know how I feel about that. And I don't know how I feel about this Austin kid moving in on Scout. I think Reed wants to have words with him.
