California!

We had so much fun in California last week! Lynne and I took the two babies and headed for warm weather. While we were gone, Utah had its only snow storm. It was perfect planning on our part, if I do say so myself. When we got back, Utah decided to go back to its unusual warm winter weather.
The best part of going to California is just being around all our family there. Its so fun to have the grandmas, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews around! (Albeit 4 kids two and under makes for a whole lot of loud!) We had some fun hanging out at home, going shopping, going to the beach, having family parties, etc. Here are some fun pictures of the week!

Cam was so funny. He got all wrapped up in the yoga mat and then tried to walk. Obviously he fell and then he would laugh and laugh! So cute!

Bubble baths in Grandma's bathtub. Cade insisted on wearing her bathing suit! Funny.

Suckers for the little boys! It was adorable to watch them together totally enjoying every minute! Cam tried to share his sucker with Owen and Owen was not going to take his own sucker out in order to take a lick of Cam's. These two boys crack me up!

When Cade saw that I was taking pictures of the boys with their suckers, she said "wait for me," grabbed her own sucker, and sat down for the picture! She couldn't be left out!

My dad played airplane and then would flip the kids over his head. They loved it and it gave my dad his workout for the day! What a fun grandpa!

My family was so sweet and while I was in town, they threw me such a cute baby shower. It was mostly family and then a few close friends. I am so grateful for all the adorable things everyone got for our cute little girl. She is already totally spoiled. We had Daphe's gyros for the food and it was so delicious! We ate, visited, opened presents, and then laughed all night long about everyone's labor stories. There were like 4 pregnant women and plenty of mothers there so comparing stories was pretty fun!

The adorable decorations. I was just loving all the pink!

I was surprised to see my good high school friend Jenna show up! She was so cute and even came the next day for my mom's famous waffles. In high school my mom used to make my friends and me waffles. Apparently they are infamous now because my friends still remember them and request them every time they see my mom. It was fun to see her again and be able to catch up with her.

Us at the beach. I say "us" because it's me and little baby girl. She loves the beach already!Lynne, Lila, Me, and baby girl at the beach. Doesn't Lila look so cute in her little outfit! She is so stylin'! The family at the beach with the kiddos and all! We ate at Rubies on the pier outside. The kids chased the pigeons all around and we enjoyed the warm breeze. It was such a fun trip and we already can't wait until we get to go back!
