Life's a Beach, and Then You Get Ice Cream

L to R: Callie, Baby Landen, Cohen

Callie says: 

Another long break between updates, but figured an evening at the beach is as much of a reason as any to put a new post out there, so here goes!  

G.G. (Grandma-Great, aka Daddy's Grandma) and Grandpa Jerry have been visiting and staying with us for the last few days, and since Auntie She-She (Daddy's baby sister) and cousin Landen came up today too, we decided to find someplace fun to go.  Hence, the trip to Rosario Beach near Deception Pass.  It's just a quick 25 minute drive from our house, but Cohen still managed to fall asleep on the way there, which always creates a "fun" situation when waking him up.

This has become one of our favorite places for a quick picnic, and today didn't dissappoint.  Aside from the 15 minute photo session that mommy and daddy made us sit through, we got to throw rocks, play around on the beach, and even do a little hiking.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Landen being around. Cohen and all the adults are head over heels about him, but I kind of think he steals some of my much-deserved attention as the previous baby of the family, but overall, he seems like a pretty good kid! 

Time for bed, so I gotta sign off.  Hope everyone enjoys their big Mother's Day weekend! 

 After about 74 posed photos, we got goofy!

Easter Rabbit 2012

Cohen says:

Alright, so I know that we are coming off just about our longest blogging break ever, but, we got dressed up for our return, so hopefully you can't be too upset!

With the Easter holiday coming up, Mommy and Daddy took us to see the Easter Rabbit this week. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what it is that the Easter Rabbit does, and he doesn't even really look like a real rabbit, but...well...I get candy, so I'm fine with it.

Over the last few years, at least one of us hasn't been incredibly happy during this visit, and while there were no actual tears this year, I think Callie's face says it all.

Look for more updates soon. We might have to switch things up to keep it fresh, but we need to do something!

A New Gaming Addiction

Callie says:

Hi everybody. If it feels like its been a while, that's probably because it has been. I could make up some heroic reason for the break, but the reality is closer related to some of our newer hobbies, which for Cohen is playing video games.

We will check in soon!
