San Diego

Cayson and his 9 year old cousin Sara, Grandma Ann, and mama Sarah, took a trip to San Diego. Cayson loved the sea lions at sea world because they were so loud, and he was scared of the sharks because we went under their tank and watched them swim above us. But he loved just playing in the beach at the cove we stayed near. We went near the water a few times with only intentions of getting shells and Cayson always found some way to get as wet as possible. He went all week with out sponge bob and he colored so much and never got sick of his sponge bob leggos, but he really missed his DVDS. It was cool air and allot of great times with monkey Cayson, he really is so good at making everything fun and always being able to make me smile. he is a very sweet spirit but all of you guys already know that. I just really loved having him with me.

Our second summer home

is the swimming pool. This boy loves to swim. He is finally able to stay above water without floaties...yea! He is becoming fearless, jumping in the pool from the sides and taking off across the pool by himself. Next fear to conquer, holding breath under the water!

Playing in the rain...

Warning...little boy NUDITY! We went swimming at grandmom and granddad's house today and unfortunately a storm cut swimming short. It didn't cut playing in the water out completely though. He started out in underwear and ended up naked...this kid is great!

Utah trip

Cayson at the Gordon B. Hickley alumni center. His grandfather donated money and has the visitor center named after him.

At the Stadium of Fire. This is what Cayson thought of Miley Cyrus...

Its late and we are stuck in a parking lot. Time to sleep!
Just a funny face
Swimming at the water park.

Ready for bed

Its bedtime! Cayson's new obsession...dressing Brindle in pajamas. It is pretty funny.

She's so patient with him...

Cayson's a protective brother!

Cayson is a VERY protective brother, here are some of the new things that he does...

-If someone stops to look at her while she's in her car seat he pulls the canopy over to cover her up and tells them "Don't look at MY baby!"

-If I set the car seat down somewhere and walk away I normally find him trying to pull it and walk yelling "You can't forget Carly!" to me.....like I would forget her!

-When I burp her..."You can't hit her so hard," (while pulling my hand away) "You have to do it like this."

-When we go swimming..."I'll teach you to swim Carly but you have to put your face under water, like this..." and "Don't drop her cause she's not big enough to swim yet."

-And MY favorite....When he's sitting on the couch with her and Brindle trys to sniff or lick them he yells "No Brindle stop begging (bugging) us. You shouldn't lick us, we don't taste good!"

Such a good brother!
