Laguna Beach

Laguna.....

Here we come!!!! All ready to ride them waves.

Or wait........on second thought. Are the waves gonna ride us??

No, we'll take control of them waves. We're born to surf........

Back flips and all!!

Oh man, are we having fun yet??

You betcha!! We love the beach.

The beach is the only place Cal Girl is free to follow her very selective "Cali Sand" diet?

Sharing the less meaningful food with the birds.

And for good reasons!!

And thank goodness for our wise shoe nazi, always able to track the shoe with the right person.

Oh how we love our cousins, the beach and the happy, happy memories shared in Laguna!!

Thanks be to our beautiful grandparents!!

Life's Better Side

Introducing you to our home away from home......

Because as is commonly stated: 'Life is too short.' and 'All work, no play is no good.'

So adventure, we will seek.......

Friends, we will find.

Applauds to our Daddy, we will give!

Bonds we will share.

Lands we will explore.

First steps we will take.

Jeffrey we will love (as stated on shirt)

Organic carrots with snot and dirt we will eat.

Friendly lizards like "Apple" (named by Chloe, of course), we will kiss.

Treasured photo moments we will capture.

And happiness, gained by the small and simple things in life, we will enjoy.

"Please can I have my haircut?? Please Daddy. I want my hair to look just like yours and if you'll cut it like yours, it will also be the same as my best friend, Tye's. Please Daddy!! Pleeeeease!!" 2 years of this wishful thinking and....................

Jax Man is becoming one handsome dude. Like father, like son. Yipee!

Jaxon's thoughts: "Here, Dad. Here's your hair (below). You fulfilled my wish of letting me get my head shaved. Now I've fulfilled your wish of you secretly coming into my room at night, stealing my long, thick, coveted hair!!"

Or maybe we can both be happily satisfied and meet in the middle! As they say, "where there's a will, there's a way."

'Like Father, Like Son!' What good-lookin', handsome men!
