Buena Vista Lake

This year's summer has been fun for our family. Since we've moved back to Bakersfield from L.A., we have been getting in contact with our old friends, taking an advantage of using my in-law's swimming pool and going out to the lake! Here are some pictures of our summer days thus far:

Caylee and I on a boat ( I know, you can't tell)-but for real!;)

Us at a picnic table in Buena Vista Lake. I get a laugh at Caylee's hair here.... She looks like Einstein's baby=)
If you can tell, Caylee went for a tubing ride, assisted by Brad. She was giggling the whole ride; she had a blast!
She had so much fun that she was exhausted by the time she came back into the boat (she was falling asleep).

I didn't even get in the water because I started getting sick. I stayed on the boat the whole time. I was the photographer that day=) Thanks to the Fausett's family for letting us come along on a boat ride;)

Caylee & Alexis

Alexis, 2yrs. 3months Caylee, 16 months

Alexis is Caylee's cousin. They get along pretty well. They give each other "loves"-hugs and kisses and loves to play all day long, if they can. Just a few weeks ago, I saw them like this....

and like thisThey are so sweet to each other (for the most part) and it's nice to see them like this. But.... I wonder how long this is going to last;)

New Brighton

This year, we started a new tradition with our "Roseville" friends and have an annual get together. This year, we camped out in New Brighton State Beach located in Capitola. We were there from Monday-Wednesday. There were six families that ended up going (Ashby's, Wiest's, Perryman's, Morgan's, Mortimer's, and us-Lamb's). The camp site was awesome, even though it was a bit chilly in the middle of the night. Even though we had the beach right there, we didn't even make it on the shore until couple of hours before we went back home. We had so much fun catching up on old times and seeing what's new in their lives. We had great company, entertaintment, and food. Thanks to Tiffani for all her food preperation; everything was soooo good!

3 years had passed by since we moved away and hadn't seeing some of our friends from Roseville so it was nice seeing their "new" babies for the first time. They were all so adorable and I wanted to take them all home with me=)

... was awesomely beautiful!
