Happy Birthday Tyler!!!

How is it possible that my baby boy is now 2 yrs old!?!? Time just flies by so quickly.. we had so much fun for his birthday. Saturday we rented an 18' inflatable slide, and invited some family and friends over for a BBQ. The kids had an absolute blast on the slide-- were on it from 7:30a.m. when it was dropped off (an hr and a half EARLY), until around 6:20p.m. when it was picked up (an hr and a half early!). :( That was the only bummer... but we did get our fill. Almost all of Kevin's family was here, including his parents from OR, along with Karl, Kody and Ariana, his Grandma Preszler from Oregon, and his brother & fam from Santa Barbara-- so that was a special treat. My parents were there of course, however we deeply missed my sister and her fam (can't wait to see them in June for Brayden's 1st bday!!!). Along with quite a few really good friends, the party was a success. I unfortunately did not get a lot of pictures due to being so busy with attending to things, but thankfully Kyle did with his camera, so those will be posted soon!! :)

Surprisingly, it fit quite well in our backyard!

1st Tyler sent down his "oof" (aka "dog")
and then here comes Tyler! :)

Elijah wore himself out on this thing!!
Apparently Elijah and Tyler were going down the slide with party decorations in tow ;)

Dillon Beach

So a couple weekends ago (yes, I am behind on my posts, AGAIN , but our computer died so for over a week I didn't even have the ACCESS to do it... also my energy is majorly decreased these days, as I am definitely feeling prego now... nausea and all!), we went to Dillon Beach. We had amazing weather. We were there from Sunday after church thru Tuesday, and Monday and Tuesday we were blessed with amazing sunshine ALL day! Monday was very windy, but Tuesday was perfect and calm. We had a great weekend, and it felt so good to finally get out and camp!!!

The beautiful sunset Sunday night
Although very windy and chilly, we enjoyed the sunset together on the sand dune :)

The boys were very helpful in starting ALL the fires
And for dinner Monday night we roasted hot dogs over the fire..
Monday night was chilly as well, but this time we enjoyed the sunset down by the water together
The wind from the day made incredible marks in the sand.. so pretty
Tuesday was bright and gorgeous-- no wind at all. We went down to where there is a tide pool area, and both kids loved this
Water was down so low, it left lots of fun places to explore
Kevin found a crab and the boys enjoyed watching it
