The Great Outdoors!

There's nothing like going up to the cool mountains to hike around, when it's 100 degrees in the valley! Fun times were had by all...

Growing Pains

Tianne is growing up and I'm in pain. My baby!

She just thinks she is so big now. First there's this....

Then This....

This also..

And Then There's The Walking....

Ohhhhhh! The Pain!

Beachin' Vacation

We just had a vacation of a lifetime! We decided to fly the girls across the country and go to Virginia Beach. Using airline miles and splitting the cost with Ann and Tyler (who happened to take the same week off work as Brian without knowing it) made it a not so bad vacation, expense wise. What a blast! There is something truly amazing about the beach! We arrived at our condo and went straight out to the beach to show the girls why we came.

Ann and her fancy new camera, followed us on Sunday as we strolled along the beach.

Monday morning finally came and we headed straight out front, to the beach. We were all so excited!

We're ready! And looking great! Let's go!

Tianne spent her time being held, or on a chair. She did NOT like the sand.

This is not baby yoga -- it's trying not to touch anything!

Pure enjoyment!

We took some time from our beach time to go to Busch Gardens. A great time was had by all!

Tianne freaked out when she saw Elmo! She screamed and screamed! She was so excited!

The next day we went to the aquarium to see and touch the cool fishes.

Back to the Beach! To spend the rest of the week!

Tianne hated the sand, but LOVED the water! She couldn't get enough of the waves rolling onto her. And the last day at the beach, she decided sand was Great! And ate a few handfuls.

Cambree spent her time, in her own world, singing and playing in the sand. She would go into the water if someone went with her, but she was content to spend the whole day on land.

This picture captures Shayla perfectly! She had a blast. She was constantly playing in the water and could have spent all day and night on the beach!

We decided to check out the boardwalk in Virginia Beach. We got this great idea to rent this mega-bike and tote the entire family around in it. It looks like fun, doesn't it? Well, it's not! It is a TON of hard work. We worked up a good sweat and were all ready to go back to our place, change into swimming suits and jump in the ocean. And so we did!

Thanks Burningham's for spending your vacation time with us! We truly had a dream vacation!

Tooth Fairy Wanted

Shayla decided she wanted to be grown up, so we called our friend, Rob, to see if he could help her. Sure enough, he thought he could, so off we went to see how we could change Shayla into a more mature girl.

Boy, She's Cute!

Just Relaxing...

Not as relaxed anymore...

So Much More Mature Now!

Piano Recital

Shayla had her first piano recital. We couldn't have been more proud of her. She did AWESOME!!!!
