Dino?

My brother Roger and his three beautiful kids came to play in August 2011.  They live in Texas and we don't see them awfully much which I hate!  They grow up so fast so these little moments are all we really have living far from each other.  This post is a bunch of pictures long!  I could have done so many more!!!  Love you guys.  Wish you were all closer.

Totally got in trouble for letting the kids climb on this.  Opps!  See the little orange paper behind Cote? Ya it says don't climb on Thomas!

The post title is a sweet memory of little Taylor.  I had no idea she loved Dino's soooo much! While we were at the Thomas shop Taylor found her favorite Dino show and all the friends she loves!  SO SWEET!

The next several are at the beach.  I wish we hadn't had such a gloomy day but we still had so much fun. 

Check out Faith's face!  Such a great shot!

Sweet Emma doing her favorite thing in the world!

Faith doing a header into the big hole Roger dug.

My cutie brother Roger!

Check out Cote's face in this!  So fun!

Faithers getting the hang of it!  I love her smile there!

I LOVED watching my brother with his kids.  He's such a great daddy.  He was lifting Faith up and putting her on the board when the wave came because she couldn't jump up there fast enough!

So cute of Tay!  She really didn't want anything to do with the water, in typical little kid fashion, but found plenty at the beach to keep her busy hence the seaweed!

Water comes in, seaweed gets dropped, and Taylor's outta there!

Another great shot of how sweet my brother is!

All I can say is.....Sand in places you'll never get it out of!

This was so sweet!  Taylor wanted to do this so bad but then when she got in there and all covered up she started to freak!  Roger totally pulled her out of her panic and got her laughing!

Cote and his near catch!  I LOVE the facial expression!

How very true this picture is.  It wasn't necessarily warm that day especially for August and after Taylor was pulled out of the sand she had to have a shower.  Oh poor little thing was freezing!

At the park later!  Of course inland there are no clouds!  The sky was perfect and each of the kids took amazing pictures except for Taylor because she was moving to fast to even get one without being blurry!!!  How cute is sweet Faith!?!

Love this shot of Emma!

Sweet shot of the Cotmeister!

This was the day they had to go home :(  It was soo hot this day.  I thought we would go ride the train at Old Poway Park only to find it doesn't run on week days.  So we walked around the stream a little and then went to get ice cream and go bowling instead.  Taylor didn't seem to mind that at all!

So cute!

Poor Tay.  She was so tired!

LOVE this shot of the two of them watching the bowling ball go down the lane. 

Taylor found a place all to herself!

For awhile I thought Cote could be Emma's little brother they looked so much a like but in this picture I don't see it so much as I used to.  Funny how age changes everything.  

The end of June can't come soon enough!  We get to spend a week in Texas with all these wonderful people and I'm so excited!
