Our week at Newport Beach!

1...2...3.... JUMP! Gracey and Addy must be counting to 100.....
Gracey, Halle, Presley and Addy! Going for a walk down to the beach to see if the waves were glowing! Nope, but when they do glow, it's so pretty! Maybe next year!
Gracey......
Scott and I! Too bad we weren't alone on the beach! We took 8 kids with us on our walk! Not too relaxing. What were we thinking?
Tyler and Scott!
After a LONG day at the beach, Gracey was exhausted. She fell asleep on our ride down to the Balboa pier to eat dinner! So sweet.....
Tyler was the only one of my kids that would do the bungie jump this year! Usually Blake and Presley do it too. Maybe next year.....
Presley and Gracey!
Tyler and Blake! Our STUDS!!!!

Looks like they must have found something INTERESTING....... I love these pictures of Gracey and Tatum! It shows how close they really are. They love each other so much. It's sad that they both started kindergarten this year because they played together all the time! Now it's just weekend play!!
Best cousins!
Oh..... they have gotten BRAVE!! They had so much fun!
Grandpa Allen and Gracey at Mutt Lynch's for breakfast! She sacrificed a donut to have breakfast with Grandpa! Tyler, Blake and Presley had the buiscuits and gravey, they loved em'!!
Blake and Bailey!
Eric (my oldest brother!) and his boys Landon and Parker! We're so glad they come to the beach with us now. Love you boys!!
Addy and Tatum hangin' out!
Justin, chees'n it! I love my neices and nephews like my own kids! I always want to stay close to them no matter where they go, as they grow up!
Searching for Sea Shells.....
Kyndal and Gracey! Im so glad my kids have gotten so close to Kyndal, they live in Kansas so we dont see them nearly enough. We love when they come visit!! And REALLY love that they come to the beach with us now!! Love you Kyndal!! Gracey Mae!
Boss and Blaine! Having their own little conversation! Presley, Addy and Parker making a SAND CASTLE!
Presley and Halle!
Blake took an "annoying" picture break from his digging!! Thanks for your time Blake!!
Tyler spent hours catching crabs on the rocks!
Presley loved boogy bording, she gets BRAVER each year! It's FUN and SCARY to watch! I've been sucked under a wave before, I thought for sure I was going to drown. Thats why it's scary to watch!
Blake and Presley with their STAR FISH!! They spent hours on the rocks and caught a ton of them! Big and small! They put them in their buckets, showed them to everyone and then let them go when we were done playing at the end of the day! Some where still alive , but then some weren't so lucky!
Kennedy had an interesting idea!! What a DORK!!
Gracey likes the beach more and more each year!!
Kennedy, Presley, Tatum and Payton! Getting ready to go on a bike ride down to the donut shop!
Kyndal, Grandpa and Mel. (Kyndals friend!) Grandma Lynn brought her antique waffle maker all the way to the beach because it makes the best waffles! YUM!
Gracey wanted to do the splits in every picture! It got to the point that I would just pretend to take the picure, otherwise I would have had 20 of the same pictures!! She's so dang cute! She is so shy for everyone BUT the camera!
It was so funny watching the girls play cards! Gracey had no clue what she was doing! She had a huge stack of cards, which isn't good when playing GO FISH. She thought the MORE she had the better! Presley and Halle tried to explain to her but she wasn't buying it, she thought they just wanted her to loose! By the end of the trip, she had it down! She loved playing cards with Grandma Lynn! Thanks Mom!! You have more patients than I do!!
