Update:

What a great daddy Gene is! He and Lindsay set up a Homemade ice cream, Mint Brownies and Soda stand on Saturday. Lots of people came by and Lindsay made $15! Everyone loved the treats and Lindsay had a blast hanging out with her dad. She used the money to buy a DS game (Pets' Nursery - everything has to involve animals!)

Marc is going to either be a cow or an elephant for Halloween this year! (Picked up these costumes at Wal Mart last Nov. for a few bucks each!) Here he is trying on the cow costume. He looked adorable. Haley is putting him in it this very moment to show Chloe! Marc our cowboy!

This was taken last Sunday. I realized this was my last Sunday with all my 5 kids at home!
Chloe heads off to college this Sunday.
So here are my 5 fantastic children:

Chloe was washing Marc off after he ate lunch. He was loving the water and doing a baby tap dance in the sink!

Curious boy.

Happy boy.

Happy 6 months Baby Boy!

Marc is 6 months old today.
He did great at his checkup. 16lbs. 11oz., 27.25" height. He is a tall baby boy. We see basketball in his future!
He also got 3 shots. He screamed as he was getting them then calmed down. He is fine now but I bet he'll be a little fussy/sleepy today.

He's starting to sit up now!

He sat like this for almost a minute before this happened.....

bonk!
Nurse Chloe came running to the rescue. He was just fine. It was my fault, I really wanted to get the shot of him sitting up!

So there ya go. It's been a fantastic summer but now it's time for school and college and I am going back to work at our charter M-F. Busy days are once again ahead of us!

Wish me luck as I send my firstborn off to school.... it's gonna be rough!

I bet this kid's first word will be:

"BALL"

Marc in the exersaucer I picked up at a yard sale for $5! awesome deal! He loves this thing.
Chloe caught him smiling in his sleep!

DISNEYLAND!

Every time we go we get a shot with the Indian guy.

The cousins.

My cousin Lynn's son, Dylan, and Linds. They were best pals! They had a lot of fun together until Lindsay tried giving Dylan a kiss! yikes

Marc was such a great baby. He rode on Dumbo and several other rides!

Cousin Alina's little boy, Micah and Linds.

We were in the caboose. fun

Cousin Lynn and her 2nd cousin Marc!

Walt and Mickey. nerds.

Anais, Aaron's daughter and Chloe, Haley and Nat. They pretty much went off together to ride the big rides and have fun on their own. We would meet up from time to time, but they just went out and had fun by themselves.

Cousins.

Deb, Aaron, Alina and Lynn.

We are the only cousins in our one family, so we are very close. We grew up going to San Diego for visits all the time or they would come up to the Bay Area.

My best college pal, Kristin Bain. She is from Thousand Oaks and came down to Disneyland to meet up with me for a nice, long lunch. It was great seeing her again, it had been 6 years. Love this girl!! Miss her tons.

Lawson Family on their last day (thank goodness!!) of Disneyland. It was a blast and super fun and all that... but we were there with the WHOLE world and it got exhausting after 3 funfilled days!































Corona del Mar:

After D. Land we hit the beach!

Marc's first time feeling the sand.

We LOVED this beach. It was wonderful.

Warm water... perfect waves! Perfect day. Wish we could have stayed a week here.
