perfect day!

yesterday was a darn near perfect day. ben had the day off so we took the boys to coronado beach. it was warm but windy so it didn't feel hot at all. the boys were so well behaved and had a blast. ronan roamed the beach chasing seagulls and growling at them (he kind of sounds like an ewok!) and zander splashed in the waves with ben and built sand castles. ronan eventually fell asleep on me and i just watched ben and zander play. it was so sweet to watch.
ronan is really growing up on me lately! he's so tall and he's climbing on everything! he says "ball, mama, dadda, more (mo, mo!) and papaw." zander seriously barely said mama at this age! but ronan also has a temper! he gets really frustrated and screams at the top of his lungs and his head turns bright red. i can't help but laugh some times. otherwise he's pretty sweet!
zander talks non stop and is so creative i can barely keep up with him! he definitely uses a side of the brain that i don't! wow, this is turning into quit the brag on my kids! :)
my good friend melissa (who's mother passed away) welcomed to the world little aine lynn riley (pronounced onya) on June 30. she is an adorable little thing and i just wanna eat her up! so congrats rileys!
