And some more...



Some more SLO pics...

We went to the park one day in San Luis Obispo, the kids flew kites and played on the jungle gym equipment.
Jordan was having a great time with her balloons that Aunt Kirsten tied up for her.
Aren't they both being silly?!
Isn't Grandma the best! 

Visiting with family in SLO...

Daddy and Jordan enjoying a day at the park.

Can you feel the love?
This is Uncle Abe and Aunt Bub (Elise). Bailey absolutely adores them both. Thanks Elise for babysitting!! We love you :)
Here is a pic of the Bailey and Jordan's cousins, Trevin and Teave, Tuck was wondering around somewhere and also the aunts, Kirsten and Kate.

Thank you David and Kirsten for the great pictures!!
