California Trip

My third favorite place... Laguna Beach. It comes after Disneyland 1st and Corona del Mar 2nd... :) Anyway - we had a great time on our vacation this year. It was so fun to get all together, especially now that we are all spread out. Everyone was there except for Robert, which was soooo sad. We had his ticket and everything, but at the last minute decided that he just better not go. Since we had just moved and he had just started working, we decided it was just too much money to loose a week of salary. Especially with moving into the new house a couple of days after the boys and I got back. So, we got on the plane and called Carson Robert! Wow - paying for your one year old is the only way to go!

For those of you who don't know how the fam breaks down... I'll make a little list of who was on the trip. My mom and dad, me and the boys, my sister Carly, my niece Demi, my brother Jim and his wife Melissa, my sister Megan and her husband Clayton and their baby Monet and my sister Mallory and her husband Ryan. Megan and Clayton came from Vegas, Jim and Melissa from New York and the rest from Utah... We had sooo much fun! Thanks mom and dad!







Just cruising around Balboa Island.




Here are some miscellaneous pictures. Demi and Parker doing make-up. Grandpa and Parker dressed alike. All five of us siblings together. And the cutest little baby in the world Monet!







Disneyland. It is the happiest place on earth. I grew up in California and used to go to Disneyland all the time, but every time I go it justs gets better and better! I am not kidding. I love it! It is my favorite place on earth!














A day at the pool at our hotel. Parker wanted some goggles so bad and found the perfect ones in the gift shop. He wanted some that covered the nose. It looks like it really kept the water out good! He had so much fun with uncle Ryan. Just a few months ago he was scared to get water in his eyes taking a bath, and now he is a fish doing flips in the pool! Carson still loves my mom. Every time she was near him he would cry until she would hold him. And in case you are wondering what is up with Demi... she had left over face paint from Sea World... nice.






Sea World. Parker was so excited for it and loved it as much as he thought he would.





Here is a picture of some of us in San Diego. The bottom is the boys with their cousin Demi.


Crystal Cove beach. It is right off of Pacific Coast Highway and across the street from our hotel. The boys had so much fun! It was Carson's first time at the beach and it was the same beach that Parker had his first beach experience.

your boys are so grown up. Carson looks more like a little boy than a baby. It looks like California was a lot of fun. It looks like the perfect family reunion. It is so sad that Robert wasn't able to go.
