South Bay Sunshine

We watched Kylie for a few minutes last week.
It was my first attempt at two babies at once and we survived! It was a blast for both kids and I snapped this quick picture to show the difference between boys and girls: Kylie is using the blocks as intended and politely putting them in one by one. Levi is climbing all over the caboose like it's a jungle gym and knocking it over and the blocks out of Kylie's hands. All boy! 
The next day, I caught Levi "reading" up on his favorite team. Go Dodgers!
Levi loves to swing at the park so we've been walking down and enjoying some family time  there. This park is also great for people watching because there is always some sort of football or little league practice going on. Levi was over the swings and instead wanted to learn from the big boys at baseball practice. Put me in coach!

On Friday we headed down to the beach to watch our friend Matt (aka Kylie's Dad) compete in a paddle race from pier to pier. While he worked hard, we enjoyed the sunshine and sand and then we all celebrated with dinner and a late bedtime.

On Monday we celebrated Memorial Day with great friends and food and swimming. Levi loved the water and spending time with girlfriend Stevie! Those two water bugs just floated around all day with their daddies. 

A few more fun things happened this weekend that I don't have pictures of but still deserve honorable mention...

-Dave's friend from growing up, Matt, and his wife Kim came to the South Bay and enjoyed some sunshine and pool time with us. We walked around Fiesta Hermosa, ate fair food, swam at the Marriott, ate out, watched movies and had a great time just catching up and spending time with them. Thanks for visiting!

-We got to visit Tim & Sheri's newly remodeled house and celebrate with dinner and playtime for the kids. No pictures, but Levi and Stevie played so great together and followed each other around and shared toys and just seemed to really enjoy each other. It was so fun to see them interacting together!

-Last but not least... we have a WALKER on our hands now!!! Levi has taken a couple of stumbling steps from the coffee table to our arms here and there, but decided to show off for his girlfriend Stevie by walking up a storm all over their living room. Dave and I were both shocked and thankfully Sheri pulled out her video camera so we do have proof! We'll get that video from her (hopefully edit out my annoying voice) and post that as soon as we can. In the meantime we're practicing and pulling out some new shoes for our little walker. Way to go Levi!!!
