Hiking Torrey Pines

While Sunny was here, we decided to hike Torry pines with the Dane Powell family.  It was also the first time we used our baby backpacks.  We got them off Craigslist for 15 bucks each.  Did I ever tell you how much I love Craigslist?  Without it, these babies would have nothing.  NOTHING!  Anyways, it was a beautiful day for a hike.  Here are some pictures to show off what a beautiful place we live.  Don't be too jealous.

All of us before the hike

Happy Hazel Hates Her Hat.  I should write Dr. Seuss-like books

Zeke maybe a little grumpy.  Shocker

The beautiful cliffs

Ian and Arden look like they are having so much fun.

Grandma Sunny's Visit and going to Disneyland

Jake's mom decided to come out for a quick visit.  She lives in Ft Worth, TX, as do much of his family.  While she was here, we went to the beach, went to Cafe Rio 3 times, celebrated Jake's and Rachel 1(Dane's wife, the 1st Rachel Powell)'s birthdays by having a pool party and my parents, and going to Disneyland.  Disney land was quite the undertaking with the twins, but they actually really enjoyed it.  They loved the rides they went on (except Pirates of the Carribbean, that may have scarred poor Hazel for life), they napped, they got cuddles, they played in Mickey's house, they got some yummy snacks and fun toys, what's not to love?  We also were able to show off to Sunny all of the babies skills, they are getting really good and learning to walk.  Jake made them a ghetto walker out of PVC pipe and they love it.  The below videos show some of the awesomeness.  I would post more, but then no one would watch them.  Not that anyone really does besides A few of my sisters and Christina in Japan.  Anyways, we had a really good time while Sunny was here and I know the babies miss her already!  They definitely got cuddle-spoiled.  We hope we can have her visit again soon!

You have to work hard to get her to smile in pictures.  Stinker.

Whereas Zeke is easy.  Especially when he thinks he's getting into things.

Pure Cuteness.

More Park pics

Since the weather has been beautiful lately and I get off work at 2:30, we have been going to the park.  And since my babies are super cute, here are some delightfully cute pictures of them.  These may be a bit old, but I have twins.  Don't judge me!
