if boys could behave any worse.....

if my boys could have behaved any worse when meeting kiara & her family, they sure did!
i had the opprtunity to meet the very talented kiara last sunday. see her work & blog here . lots of eye candy to look at and all her work is so professionally finished! we met her in san diego for lunch at mr. dumpling. and the boys were so---- let me see, how should i say??? they were acting like boys!!! her 2 girls were darling as heck and so well behaved. my boys got up, out of their seats and tried to check out the 2 cuties! notice i have no pictures from lunch!our meeting was extended with a trip to the coronado. so beautiful....just look at the background. gorgeous HOT day too! below is kiara & her beautiful family.



here we are on our bike.
kiara's family on theirs

we took a break from biking to play 'tag'. kiara was playing. i just stood in the shade from far away taking pictures (too hot). most of these pics have been cropped to show the close ups---that's how far i was!



look at these cuties!
the boys had fun! thank you to kiara & her family for treating us to a nice lunch and a great time on our bike ride. it was fantastic meeting her.
