family pool time

We took the kids to the pool to play

                   If you know my son well enough.. you know we brought the animals to the pool too!

 Brandon is doing so well swimming with this vest! His confidence is so high! He loves it!

                               our attempt to take a family picture, obviously we need to practice!

our day!

Doug and Brandon decided to head out to Pier 39 in San Francisco with the hope of seeing Seals. Little did we know, there are no seals in the summer!  But they had a great time anyway! It was a daddy/son outting!

 Karly and I cleaned house and ran errands.. fun right? ha ha She is getting cuter and cuter by the minute look at this pose!!

 That evening Doug and I went to his cousins wedding, we left the kids home with the sitter! a real date! 7 hours without the kids!!

Lake of the Pines

Last weekend we went to Lake of the Pines for the first time this summer. The kids LOVED the lake and pool.  We didn't get a whole lot of photos on the boat this trip hopefully next time!   But uncle Matt and Aunt Kristine were with us and they were playing otter with Brandon in the lake.  Brandon is becoming quite a swimmer in this lifevest! And Karly doessn't want to miss a thing!

 This last picture should have been the first photo.. This is us on our way to Grandma and Pop Pop house. Brandon packed his bag of animals and blanket and held onto it for a good part of the way! He was so excited to go swimming at Pop Pop pool.  

July 4th a full day of fun!

Happy 4th of July from the Condes!

We decided since our kids are up by 6:30 why not take full advantage of the day! We left the house by 8 and headed to Santa Cruz! We left 80 degree weather to 50 degree weather. We were on a hunt to see Otters on the pier.

                                                          Not a bad family shot!

 After the pier we walked on the boardwalk.  and Brnadon held Karly's hand! It was so cute!! This lasted a while until he saw the ramp to go down to the WATER!!! Brandon and Karly got a chance to play in the water despite the cold, they had a BLAST!  No pictures since we had to play Man to Man Defense!

                              Home and having dinner, the kids were all about saying CHEESE!

 Happy 4th from future Miss America according to her hand me down shirt that I made sure she had a chance to wear!

                We also went to a BBQ and the kids swam yet again and had popsicles in the pool!

WIPED OUT at the end of the day!

Happy 4th!
