Yes, We Can!

Yes! We Did!

boho chic

Anaya is all about dressing herself these days.

It's always in a dress or skirt.

She was feeling rather 'boho chic' today.

even check out the earrings she put on (by placing the hooks up over the top of her ear).

the many faces of Anaya

As most of you know, Anaya has always had a lot of expression in her face. I thought it would be fun to really show you how much.

These were NOT prompted in any way.

Anaya, can you show me what you look like when you are...

MAD

SCARED

HAPPY

SHY

SURPRISED

Plus these were photographed right after one another.

Truly gifted.

My lil' Charlie Chaplin.

Omi is Anaya's great-grandma. They crack each other up all the time! This was such a special moment.

Jencie & Anaya

Happy Father's Day, Papa!

On Father's Day, I wanted to surprise Morgan with something he use to love to do with his dad and hasn't done in a while.

So, we spent the morning sailing!

Ahoy Matey!

it's all coming back...

In training

We love you.

In the afternoon I packed up the car, the cooler, Morgan's new surfboard and we headed to the beach. Luckily, the sun finally came out. It was quite nice just sittin' and relaxin', watching Anaya build sandcastles and Papa enjoying his new board.

Aquarium of the Pacific

I finally decided to get a membership to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Wow! what a great thing this has been. Anaya and I have gone at least 3x's this summer and every time has been amazing.

I'm developing a love for family membership/passes!

Ths particular trip was extra special. Anaya had both her BFF's there. Annabelle had just arrived the other day from her new home base, Oregon. She was going to be here all summer. They hadn't seen each other in over 5 months. Chloe even played rookie to come join the crew!
