Beach Bums

Ahhhhh, this is the life....hanging out on the beach & enjoying time in the wonderful San Diego weather. We can definitely get used to this!!


Braden was in hysterics the whole time his Daddy was tossing him around in the waves. Clicking on the picture gives more of an effect of how much fun this was for them!
He was even cracking up when the waves crashed on top of them.
Daddy makes every activity a blast!Somehow Braden escaped getting buried in the sand like Kendall and Sydney. He still ended up with an unbelievable amount of sand on every inch of his body though. The woman on the Mercedes commercial was really on to something when she brought a blower with her to the beach!
Just pressing some extra sand between the toes....
Can we really blame 'em for being hyper?? Matt treated everyone to ice cream sandwiches, just to wash down the chocolate pudding!
What's wrong with this picture?? Oh, there are no kids in sight! Nevertheless, Christian and Matt were intent on constructing the perfect sand "fort."
Braden was enjoying a break from being the king of the castle. He loved running around, up, down, and through the sand castle so much that he forgot all about naptime today......again! The guy on the right would have been cropped out, but just thought we'd include the copycat. His kids were jealous of Matt and Christian's creation, so he put forth his best effort to create a fort for them. His kids were really disappointed with the final product though!
Hanging out with the girls means enjoying their toys, but the pink handle on this shovel was a bit much. Braden was just trying to yank it off....
Braden was just trying to talk his Daddy into relocating to the beach. Don't we just look like a happy family that should live at the beach?!
Figured a boogie board would be a good first step to transitioning our little surfer boy to a longboard.
For some reason our winter and summer hobbies include sand....and LOTS of it! Braden sure doesn't complain though!
This is Suzanne Dethier, circa 1965.....oh wait, that's Gramma Suzie showing off that she is still a beach girl at heart! She was just showing her grandkids how to tear it up on a boogie board just like she did growing up in Newport.
Is this fun or what?!?

That first picture is so great!!! I love Braden's little face.

Are we ever going to get these boys together again? Although we are starting back at Sarah's on the 4th so they will get to hang out everyday.

Again, so jealous. I am sitting in my house with the broken ac (95 degrees in my living room) and you're living it up at the beach.

I second the moving to the beach motion...take us with you.

That camera is fantastic...I clicked on the photo and damn I felt like I was there :)
