Summertime in Cali :)

We packed up and headed down to the beach this last Saturday. It was SOOOO much fun! Seth loved every minute of it, and Sarah wouldn't go anywhere near the water until 45 min before we left. Oh well, at least she left on a good note...maybe next time she won't take so long to warm up to it. Anyway we had a great time. Jimmy goes back to school next week, so there won't be any more beach trips for awhile. We will miss you Jimmy, see you at the end of the semester :)

My big girl

I am so proud of my baby girl, she threw away all her bottles this week! Even though we would only give her water in her bottle (juice and milk only in sippy cups), the doctor suggested that we take away the bottle so that her teeth wouldn't get crooked. I finally agreed with him. We took her to Target and let her choose some new sippy cups, (princess ones of course) and then we came home and she threw her bottles away! Anyway, here are some cute pics of my big girl that we have taken recently. She is so wonderful! I am so grateful for my beautiful Sarah Rose!
Proud of her new sippys!

The Library

Now that swimming lessons have ended...we have started going to storytime at our local library. The first time we got there at 10:02 instead of 10:00 and they would not let us in. They told me that "storytime begins promptly at 10:00"...so I had to literally drag Seth out of there hysterical because he had been so excited to go. The second time we went Sarah make a huge scene by running around pulling books off of the shelves. And today, well lets just say I don't know that we will be going back for awhile. Seth decided to get into an argument with the children's librarian. This is how it went:
Libraian- "Sweetie, please don't run in the library"
Seth- "I wasn't running"
L- "Yes, you were. Please be careful"
S- "I wasn't running, I was skipping"
L- "Well, we don't run or skip in the library"
S- "It's ok. I'm being very careful"
At this point the librarian didn't really know what to say and started to walk away from him. He stepped in front of her and started skipping again and said:
S- "See? I am being very careful and not running. Just skipping."
At that point she just stared at me until I got Seth. As we were walking away from her Seth told me that "skipping is careful, but running in the library is not". What can I say? He is Jimmy's son.
