Fun times at Pebble Beach.

The girls and I went to stay at my Grandma White's house in Pebble Beach, Ca. We went and met up with my Parents and a group of my friends from Utah. We are thinking that we are going to make it a tradition with my friends, to go once a year for as long as my grandma has the house. We have been a few times before as single people, but now we are all married and have kids, so because we don't get to see each other that often we thought it would be nice to get together. And what better place than beautiful Pebble Beach. My parents came and hung out and helped me with the girls. They were going to be there the week after me, but decided to come a week early to see me and the girls. I am so glad they did, we had a fun time with them. Baylee loves seeing her Papa and Grandma McGiven. They always do such fun things with her and spoil her to death, and now with Ashlee they are having so much fun spending time with her. Grandma and Grandpa would get on the floor with her and play with her, and she would just laugh and giggle and make them laugh and giggle, it was so fun to watch. Here are a lot of pictures of our fun time in Pebble Beach.

Here is Baylee at the park in Monterey, she is checking out the big steam engine train they have there.

Baylee loved this little drinking fountain of the lion. She specifically asked me to take a picture with her head in the lions mouth. It was pretty funny.

This is Grandma McGiven Pushing Baylee on the swings at the park in Monterey. This park is the coolest park for kids. There is so much to do, and it is so big.

Here is Baylee with her Papa at the park in front of an old steam engine train. My Dad loves trains, and this was a southern pacific railroad train, which I think is the same company that my Grandpa McGiven worked at which is why my Dad is so partial to trains.

Here is Ashlee just chillin with her Pooh Bear at the Park. It was actually a little chilly so that is why she had the hat on. The funny thing is is that this used to be Baylee's hat, and I have a picture of Baylee that is just like this. I have to find it and compare because I think they look exactly a like. I think the only difference is that Baylee may have been a little older and her head was a little bit bigger.

We went to the Wharf and saw a bunch of seals or sea lions, I can't tell the difference. Baylee thought they were so cool.

There was an old man who had all of his birds and letting the kids look at them and old them. There was little boy who was probably terrified of these birds and he was older than Baylee. Well she says to me, "Mommy that boy is scared, but I'm not scared, I need to show him how to hold the bird and not be scared." So she went right up to the old man asked if she could hold the bird. She thought it was cool. The bird's name was Rosie. She sure showed this little kid not to be afraid. LOL!

Baylee got to be buried in the sand and made into a mermaid. She had so much fun with all of my friends. She got a lot of attention from them being the only kid there.

This is Jamis, Deanna, and Donny in the process of making Baylee a mermaid. It was cute, because this whole trip Baylee had a little crush on Donny, the guy on the right. He was so cute with her. He played with her and read her stories and let Baylee hang on him the whole time we were there. She had fun with all the guys. Deanna's husband Brooks was her pal the whole time too. I think it was because she thought it was cool that Brooks had the same name as her cousin from Texas.

This a guy that was surf skating on the beach. It was really cool watching him. As we were watching him the dolphins came up to swim by him.

This is my group of friends that we met at my Grandma's house in Pebble Beach. Deanna, Baylee Scotty, Brooke, Jamis, Brooks, Deanna and Donny. Jamis' wife Sarah was there too, but wasn't in the picture for some reason. We had a lot of fun with everyone. We just relaxed and had fun at the beach, at the house, ate really yummy food, walked around the Golf Course, stayed up late and played games. We went to the wharf and walked around and went to the aquarium. It was a lot of fun. I miss hanging out with friends. I have been blessed to have great friends.

While we were at the Beach we got to see a group of dolphins. We actually went to the beach twice and both times we saw Dolphins. Baylee was really good at spotting them out. She was so excited to see them, she even asked if she could go swim with them. I think I would have gone out there if the water hadn't been so dang cold.

This is a pelican bird that we spotted. I love pelicans. I think they are some pretty cool birds. They seem to be everywhere at the beach also.

Here is little miss Baylee at the Beach. She absolutely loves the beach. I love her in her little swimsuit here. I think she looks like quite the little California Girl with her swimsuit and her golden hair.

Pre-School and Playing.

Baylee is now 3 years old. She just had her Birthday last Tuesday. And now that she is 3 that means that she has started Pre-School. She was so excited to start. Her teachers name is Miss Terri. Baylee gets to go with her best friend Addi. To get Baylee to leave her teachers house when we went to meet her was to bribe her with getting her a back pack for school. She was so excited and on our way to the store she new exactly what kind of back pack she wanted. So that is what we got. She got herself a pink backpack with all the Disney Princesses. We love you Baylee and Daddy and I are so proud of you.

Ashlee is growing so fast as well. She is already trying to sit up by herself. She seems to have really strong core muscles. She loves to laugh and play. Especially with her big sister Baylee. They absolutely love each other. Ashlee is grabbing things and playing with them and putting them in her mouth. I love my girls. They are so fun to watch grow up.

Ashlee is all smiles now.

I love this picture of Ashlee. She is so sweet and loveable and I love her little dimples she's got going on.

John loves to sit and relax and have Ashlee or Baylee chill with him. I love this picture of Ashlee doing just that. I love my family.

Baylee absolutely loves her baby sister. She dotes on her and loves to hug and kiss her non stop. She is a great helper too. She will help with changing her diaper and feeding her and puts her binky in her mouth when she cries and just plays with her. Sometimes I feel bad though because Baylee doesn't realize how rough she is being with Ashlee and I feel that I have to constantly tell her not to do something, and all it is is Baylee thinking she is doing something good and fun with her sister. I love these little girls to death though, and I am so grateful that I get to be their Mommy.

Look at that cheese grin. Isn't it the cutest thing in the world. She makes me laugh. I love making her smile like that.

I love it when John holds Ashlee. Almost everytime she gets fussy John will pick her up and talk to her very calmly and she always seems to just calm right down and relax and chill with her old man.

This is Ashlee after her bath. She really seems to like taking baths. That is another thing that seems to calm her down when she is fussy. I think that she likes the warm water, and then she likes the massage she gets after her bath.

I love how she is really starting to smile, laugh and coo. Baylee loves it also and thinks it is so cute.

Ashlee likes to hang out in her boppy chair. Especially outside. I can take her out and just sit her on our table outside and she will lay there so peacefully and enjoy being outside. I can usually go swimming with Baylee and she will just chill and usually fall asleep. The second I bring her inside she will get fussy.

She is really showing her personality now. She gets excited and will play and kick and laugh.
