Picnic at the Temple

With Ryan taking classes and me teaching summer school, Tuesday is the only day we have completely free. So, today we took a drive to the temple and had a picnic on its beautiful grounds. The weather was perfect and we had a great time together. I love summer!

What does a couple do on their 9 year anniversary?

Spend the day at the tide pools with their kids...
Watch them get excited about looking at crabs...
Take them to a near by aquarium...
Watch " sweet boy" get scared by a fake shark...
Have their daughter take a picture to mark the special occasion!

Yipee, It's Summer!!

Today was the last day of school, which officially marks the start of summer for us. We already have two little pool rats who can't get enough of the water. There is nothing quite like summer!

Preschool

First day of preschool
Last day of Preschool
Allison finished her first year of preschool today. Next thing you know I am going to be posting her graduating from High School. It all goes way too fast! Notice the frogs on her shirt...she was in the froggy class this year and thought it was so fun to wear her froggy shirt in the froggy class. I'm sure Ms. Jennifer was tired of seeing that shirt!

Fun with Cousins!

I am so glad Allison and Zachary are going to grow up with cousins close to their age. We had lots of fun with our cousins growing up. As for now, baby Charlie and baby Grace are still a little too young to play, but it won't be long before they are in all the action. When all is said and done, I wonder how many cousins are going to be in the "Graham" family. Any guesses?

Memorial Day Camping

I thought a good first post would be a fun family vacation. We went camping over Memorial day weekend to Carpenteria beach. It didn't go quite as planned because Nora decided to have her baby on the day we were leaving, so Ryan took the kids camping and I stayed back to be at the hospital with Nora. It was such an amazing experience to be there when baby Charlie was born. I enjoyed the last half of camping with the fam, so I really got the best of both worlds that weekend.
