When Cousins Come To Visit!

Jen (Dan's sister), Brian and the kids were able to come down for a little visit. We just love when they come!! We really missed them on the 4th for fireworks! They usually come for the 4th, but postponed their visit so they could be here for Spencer's baptism. Our kids are all just a couple months apart. They love playing together and get along very well. The Olsen's used to live here in Cali, but now they are in Utah, where everyone seems to be going.
We miss them so much! Today we met them at Malibu beach!

Dan took the day off to play. Melanie talked Dan into going in the water! OHHH, the things little girls can get their Dad's to do! It amazes me. She couldn't talk me into going into that cold water. The waves were very small for a while, so Dan took each of the girls out on his back. They had a blast swimming back and forth in the waves. Melanie is our little swimmer. She went out by herself for a while. She was pounded a couple times by the bigger waves, but always seemed to come right up. I was a little nervous watching her from the beach. I kept standing up every time a wave and then another and then another came. I wish I had it on video!
I guess she is going to be our surfer!

Uncle Brian buried Owen and Chelsea. Of-course they needed
sunglasses so the sand wouldn't go into their eyes!

This is my nephew Owen. Isn't he so cute! I just love this picture.

He is always smiling just like this!
