Finger Painting

This morning I took Emma outback and we did some fingerpainting.

She is so cute, she calls green "blue" and blue "red."

but she is really good at mixing the colors and praising her work.

"Oh, that's cute!" she says.
Emma, trying to put her passion into her artwork.

She reminds me so much of my grandma Betty in this picture.

She said, "This is so fun."

The finished product. We talked about it having an ocean with grass above it and a tree, with turtles dancing on the right, a sun in the top right corner, and flowers in the top left corner.

Saturday night with family

This Saturday Night Dustin was teaching at a Retreat so the girls and I went over to grandma and grandpa's house for dinner. It was so nice; David bbq'd carne asada, he made homeade tortilla chips with yummy guacamole, and the tortillas were thick and warm like pancakes.

Here is Miley with grandma and grandpa

Here is Emma with Uncle David and her new favorite person, Diana.

A Night at the Beach

This last Sunday night, Dustin had the night off work. It was a little blessing

from Pastor David to all the staff guys, to rotate a Sunday night off.

So we decided to go out to the beach.We got out there a little later than expected.

But we got to eat pizza at BJ's in Huntington Beach for dinner.

Then we walked out onto the pier to see the sun set.

It was so beautiful. It was pretty crowded too.

The US Open brought out a lot of very happy partiers.

I almost asked the waitress if she wanted the autograph of my famous surfer hubby.

We saw some dolphins swimming and we saw a guy catch a shark off the pier.

(not a tiger shark or sand shark--a baby SHARK!)

We got Starbucks on the way home and caught a good glimpse of the fireworks show at Disneyland from the freeway.

It was a good night.

Our Trip to Sea World

We just got back from San Diego. My mom and dad took us to Sea World on Monday and Tuesday. We had a really good time. Here are just a few of the amazing pictures we took.

Breakfast with Shamu!!! My mom took us to the "Dine with Shamu" breakfast. It was the coolest thing ever. We had an amazing buffet breakfast while we sat right next to Shamu's pool. The whales played for us and we all had an amazing time. As you can see, we got really close.
Giving us a quick pose. I was so close, I had to keep backing up to try to fit her in the camera.
This is what we were looking at while we ate.

Dining in the "24 Hour Splash Zone"
Shamu had a little breakfast too!!! The trainers gave us all kinds of information and answered all our questions.
With all that was going on behind me, Emma refused to pose for a picture.
They were having fun and so were we.

Miley wanted to look around too!

This whale surprised us, she passes by us and we didn't even know she was coming!
