Central Coasting

We did some serious coasting up the coast last week. It was awesome. We took the scenic route and it was just beautiful. We stopped somewhere along the coast for Scott to get a cold surf session in and then headed to Monterey. What a beautiful town. We enjoyed walking around Fisherman's Warf and Cannery Row. Scott took Avery to the aquarium the next day while I did some window shopping. Then we took Avery to the Dennis the Menace park which was very cool!

We then headed down toward San Luis Obispo for the rest of the weekend. Scott had a rugby game, we met up with friends and spent a lot of time at the beach. It was such a nice weekend with beautiful weather!! It is sooo gorgeous along the coast.

Fashionista

This morning I told Avery to pick out an outfit and this is what she came back wearing... last year's swim suit and her Daddy's socks. Not quite sure where she picked up these poses but she had me cracking up everytime I told her to smile:)

Shout out to Airman

Watch this link and be inspired! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udaF3Y2N7Xk This picture is old ... and I am loving Scott's turquoise towel. On the right is Erik the star of this youtube video. He is my brother Tyler's best friend and family to me. He is a hero to many and I look up to him for his amazing attitude:)

Splish Splash

Avery fell in love with this shamu pool at the store the other day. I couldn't resist with this nice weather we have had lately. She was soooo excited when we blew it up that she wanted to sleep in it. Scott made it into a little fort bed and she slept in it for a couple hours. She woke up the next morning anxious to fill it up and swim. The water was super cold but she loved it!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

currently reminiscing our good times in Ireland...

Ireland was exactly the way I imagined it ... very green and beautiful.

Our cab driver that picked us up from the airport was for sure a leprechaun, all the clothes in the window displays were green, the food was good and the people were as friendly as ever (of course I loved their accents). We got to camp on the coast line, Scott surfed in the freezing cold water and we visited the Blarney castle. Hopefully we will return some day. In the mean time I will enjoy being Irish on this green holiday:)

The tennis bug

I just started giving Avery tennis lessons. She is totally into it. I think it is time to buy her a smaller racket though, she can hardly hold this one up. Don't you just love the shoes she chose to wear.

Afianced

My brother Tyler is an engaged man as of Friday night!! We are excited for Rachele to join the family:) Happy engagement you two love birds!

Say Cheese

We were at a clothing store when Avery spotted this cute little red bench. She hopped right on it and made this pose. I of course had to capture it:) Look how long she has gotten!

Rock N Rollerin'

We took Avery for her first visit to the roller rink. We were inspired by all of the ice skating we've been watching during the olympics. Avery and Scott did some pretty good imitations of ice dancing out on the rink (which just so happens to be Scott's favorite olympic sport hahaha:) Avery wasn't a bit nervous and loved every minute! We rolled around for about an hour until her tiny quads tired out from her super heavy skates!
