San Diego

This last weekend we went to San Diego with my family. We spent the whole day Friday at Sea World. The kids LOVED it! They loved seeing all of the animals, especially Shamu, the sharks, and the penguins. We had quite a group. Everyone was there from my family, except Corey. We also had my cousin Camille, my aunt Susan, my other cousin Crystal and her three girls. Altogether, there were 24 of us. On Saturday, we all went down to the beach. It was rainy and cold, so only a few of us were brave enough to get into the water. Teagan fell in by accident. He was running from the waves when he tripped and fell down. The waves completely soaked him! Most of the family headed home on Saturday, but we stayed and went to visit some friends in Palm Desert. The kids had fun swimming and playing while we were at uncle Jake's house. It was a good vacation, and since the Sea World tickets are good for another day, we will probably do it all again in the fall.

Most of our group...at least the back of their heads!

Teagan touching the starfish. He was treating them like they were toys, until I told him that they were alive! Then he became a little more cautious.

Taryn riding around in the stroller like a princess. She spent the whole trip either in the stroller, or strapped to her mom in the Baby Bjorn.

Teagan and my dad on the Elmo ride.

Quin and I on the flying Elmo ride.

Taryn slept most of the time, until she got hungry.

Teagan and Dylan building sand castles.

Quin was carried around most of the day while wrapped up in his towel.

Our attempt at a family picture.

What a week!

On Monday, I took Taryn to her 1 month appointment. She is now 8 lbs. 13 oz., and 22 inches long. She got a shot, which she didn't love. I had to return to the doctor on Wednesday, because the boys had something like pink eye. They are all cleared up now, but I still don't want to take them around other kids. I've been sick all week, and now Drew is catching it. So, we have all had a lot of fun this week! At least Taryn hasn't picked up any of our illnesses!

Catch-Up Time!

I've been a bit busy the last two weeks, so I thought that I would just catch-up all in one post. Taryn had her 2 week Dr. appointment. She was 8 lbs. 21 inches. Everything else was good. She had her PKU test, but she didn't like that very much. Who could blame her? Teagan wasn't a big fan of the test either. He didn't like hearing his sister cry. As usual, Quin could have cared less what was happening to Taryn!

Taryn saying, "What the hell! Why am I not being held?"

"Awww...that's more like it!"

Here's some more Lyman cousin pictures. We can never pass up an opportunity to torture the kids by taking their picture! As you can see, they all looked thrilled to have to sit still.

Quin is reverting back to being a baby. He likes to do whatever a baby does so that we will focus more attention on him. He still isn't too happy about having a sister around.

He likes to steal Taryn's pacifiers...

Sit in her swing...

And sit in her chair. He was pretty tired after swimming that he passed out.

And then rolled over.

Teagan finished Joy School. We had a big pizza/pool party on the last day. Teagan had a lot of fun this year at Joy School. Although, if you ask him what he learned about, he'll either say "Stuff" or "I didn't learn anything!" He did have fun playing with his friends each week.

Here's his Joy School buddies. Cora (his girlfriend), Scout, Payton, Teagan, and Ryan.
