Okay, I've posted a lot of pictures now of Leslie and her kids visit so enjoy to the end. This is Coral after her bath sitting on Leslie's lap. Talia and Sierra are also in this picture...sort of.
Taya and Talia being snuggle bugs. Later Talia was resting on Taya's lap. Talia and Taya both are snugglers.
Megan giving "rides" to her nieces and nephew from front to back: Talia, Jeffrey, Taya and Coral. Talia really won Megan's heart and they both cried when they had to be parted.
Coral and Talia playing the piano with Ryan and Kim.
Coarl making ice cream with Grandma. She was fascinated with the whole process.
Talia and Coral trying to be "Queen of the Mountain". Coral is winning here. Talia later fell off and the game was over.
Sierra and a baby alligator at the fair.
Jeffrey and Taya at the fair. These two didn't start out real well, always trying to one up each other. By the end of their visit they were the best of buddies.
Sierra reading stories to Coral and Talia.
Leslie and Marti (my brother Daryl's wife) at Birch Bay chillin'.
Since I've been mostly posting pictures on facebook, I've neglected my blog for ages. I will show you some of the adventures we had this past summer which are too numerous to even capture. Here is Ally (my niece) and Sierra (my oldest granddaughter) at Birch Bay. They are the best buddies whenever we get together which is unfortunately, only a few times a year. In the background is my nephew Lucas.
Jeffrey has always wanted to ride Thomas the Train so that's what we did. Don't you love that fake smile?!
After we picked up Leslie and family at the airport in Seattle, we met everyone at Seahurst Park close by so David and Leslie's families could see each other for the first time in several years before David's family went home the next day. Here they are from left to right: Talia, Jeffrey, Leslie, Coral, Cambria, Makayla, David and Colton.
Talia checking out her newest cousin Colton. Ally (my brother Daryl's daughter is holding her).
Jeffrey and David having a chat. Colton is just hanging out!
Megan and Jeffrey enjoying the bumper cars.
Sierra, Jeffrey, Taya and Megan at the fair.
Coral and Talia enjoying the tire swing at the park. They didn't want to get off.
Jeffrey at "Million Smiles Park". I guess he has one of the million smiles.
Jeffrey "shopping" at Trader Joes.
Coral "Bell" on the swing.

Talia loving the trampoline.
Jeffrey, Kim, Ryan, Sierra, Bryant, Tami and Taya visiting on our very brown lawn. We hardly had any rain this past summer and that's fine with me!
Jeffrey loved riding the quad!
