A fun day on the town!

We met up with Angela's family for lunch at Brookside. Once Caleyn is done eating she loves to take off and explore and Grammy Pammy is always ready to walk with Caleyn! It just so happens that Caelyn went over and was looking at the Smiths cookies....... somehow using her charm was able to get a free cookie from one of the workers. Apparently they said she was too cute and deserved a cookie!

Not sure what she is about to taste....

After the first bite there was no going back and she finished off the entire thing!

Then we were off to Home Depot to look for some things for a project we are working on at home. Caelyn loves exploring all the things that there are to see. Here she is wearing a pail we were looking at to hold chalk on our chalkboard wall.

As you can see snacks are a huge part of any trip to the store and goldfish are our favorite thing to bring with us!

Caelyn went to the Kern County Fair!

A dear friend gave us some tickets to go to the fair, so we went on Thursday which was family night. We were excited to be able to show Caelyn the animals. This year you could pay $5 and ride an elephant...Caelyn was impressed by their size!

Watching the elephant bathe himself.....

Across from the elephants was a turkey race. Caelyn clapped for the turkeys as they ran around the track.

A friend has given us the Fisher Price Little People Farm that her kids liked to play with...and it is by far one of Caelyn's favorite toys. It play "Old McDonald", there are places you can push and it will make an animal noises...well when you ask Caelyn what the cow says she'll "moo" for you...it is one of the first animal sounds she has made. So we went to see the cows first. She really liked watching them over in the birthing area, I think since they were not tied to the post she could see them better. When you held her up to see them, she was trying to pull herself as close to the bar as possible!

We went to see the goats

A family friend had a sheep at the fair and they happened to be there while we stopped by, so she got her lamb out for Caelyn to see it. At first I don't know if Caelyn knew what to think but the lamb kissed her and in the second picture you see her reaction...I wasn't quick enough to capture the kiss!

Caelyn really enjoyed the pigs...even though most of them were sleeping, she really liked looking at all of them!

We went to listen to some of the Kutless concert

Checked out the lights of the ferris wheel

Watched the elephants one more time...and then headed home! We had lots of fun at the fair!

Hairstyles in the bathtub

Dad had fun playing with Caelyn's hair in the bathtub...

the mohawk

one little curl

and lots of curls

At bath time I am amazed that there is any room in the duck tub for Caelyn...she wants every toy she has in the water with her!

Sliding at the park with Dad

Playing at the park with Cousin Jack and Kate

Last weekend Aimee, Jack and Kate were in town so we met them at a park to play!

Jack enjoying the water!

We had to go down the big kids slide!

Peeking through a tunnel

Aimee, Jack, Caelyn, Jason, Grandma Jennifer and Kate

We are having so much fun!

Turning the wheel...

One last time in the water before we have to go! We really love the park!

Here is a video of Jack and Caelyn sliding over on the big kids playground. This is Caelyn's favorite slide, everytime we go to this park she ALWAYS wants to go down this slide!!

Labor Day Weekend over at the coast

For Labor Day weekend we went over to Pismo Beach with Angela's family and stayed in a beach house together. We had a lot of fun hanging out and enjoying some time away.

The first night we ate at Splash and then walked out on the pier. It was misty out by the ocean. Caelyn's hair got really curly, so cute.

Uncle Greg can make me smile

Loves for Auntie

I love her too

We went over to eat at Morro Bay and Caelyn did not want to leave...she loves the ocean!

Family time is always fun especially on vacation!

I think that Caelyn really enjoyed seeing family every morning when she woke up! She is a grandpa's girl...she wanted my dad to hold her all the time!

We went over to Avila Farms to get some yummy fruit, feed some animals, and have some tasty ice cream. Caelyn really liked the little goats!

feeding the goats some veggies

We love the ocean

Pig tails and pink with our beloved Grammie Pammie

Morro Rock...it was less foggy this day out of all the days we were there

The Morro Bay Aquarium

At first Caelyn wasn't sure what she thought about those seals barking so loudly for some fish but she was happy to be in Grandpa's arms.

Watching the seal

Jason feeding the seal fish parts...he got him to hop up on the ledge so Caelyn could watch

She is an excellent traveler!! Most of the time this is what you see from the rear view mirror...peacefully sleeping and snuggling with her favorite blanket.

Stopped for dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Paso Robles, found this cute bear bench and an antique store to browse!

So it has taken me awhile to post our vacation pictures but we have been busy doing some rearranging in our home. I got this idea to rearrange all our pictures that hang on the wall...so that has kept Jason busy, along with all of his other projects! We have decided to redo our den. Here Jason is painting chalkboard paint along one wall which will be fun for Caelyn, her sister, and all their friends when they get a little bit older. Part of the wall he painted a magnetic primer on, so now we just need to find those alphabet magnets! Jason has also been working on a built in desk in the little nook on the opposite wall which looks amazing. We will post pictures once we get it all put together...
