Family pic in Newport: trying to get all of the kids to be
looking at the same time: Impossible, so here are a few
of the 800 pics, even with the sun in our eyes, crying kids,
a wave crashing into us and soaking everyone, we ended up
with a few pretty good ones afterall!!

Newport Beach: July 2011
We all headed to Newport to stay for the week, the
cousins had sooo much fun on the beach. Scott and Mia
absolutely love eachother (don't they look like cousins?)

Of course every year, we have to bury the kids in the sand

Dad and Mia

Rick and I

After April's fall in the waves, Mia is still not wanting to
actually get in them, so she walked next to the ocean the
whole time, but that's okay...

Brooke and Me- Aunt Brooke was very popular with
all the kids, they LOVE her so much, we had fun hanging out
as sisters :)

Rick and Brooke

Mia, Hailey, and Ari digging in the sand

Aunt Nicole, Hailey, and Scott

Most days were overcast til noon, so it was kindof chilly
but the kids didn't mind a bit!

Ari posing for me

Hailey determined to get her water to her spot...

so she can dunk her head?

Mia's favorite thing to do in the sand... sleep and relax

and dig holes

to lay in..

and get buried in..
