Jake came home for spring break, and on his 7 day bucket list, he wanted to hit up the beach.  Just as we were on our way to meet up with them in San Diego, Missy sent me a text that she was at Abalone.  Thank goodness!  A beach with shade is about the best kind of beach a girl could ask for.

So we headed down, and Abalone didn’t disappoint.
Jake has always been so cute with Dash (and my other kids).

Navy got into the forbidden baby powder for the third time.  Each time, she ends up looking like a geisha, and Megan made her do geisha hands in honor of her white face.  Poor Missy.  I think Icka secretly likes the baby powder fiasco part of the day almost the very best.  Poorer Missy.  Navy brings Sydney right along in the mischief.

I was obsessed with Dash this day.  I can’t get over how big he is getting, and how handsome he is.  I am totally an obnoxious mom who thinks their kid is the greatest, but when you have a baby this good — you would too.

I mean, look at the kid — he was freely giving out the sweetest kisses.

And cracking up at Jake.

And reaching for Jake’s nose.

And flying with Jake.

And sucking his thumb while he smiled.

See what I mean!
Obsessed also?

It was a great day.
Especially because the four cousins finally got to be back together again!
