California Dreamin'




The start of all the fun!!





So on Monday we went to the beach. It was a little windy but everyone managed to get sunburned except me. It's taken 2 1/2 years but I've learned my lesson. Remicade+Me+Sun=really bad. Don't get me wrong..I still go sunbathing...but I've learned I need to use lots of sunscreen and tan gradually. The kids went boogy boarding and and saw seals and dolphins.








Look closely...a seal!







On Wednesday we went to Kembly's pool...thanks Kembly! The kids had a great time. They love to make up strange games and having Uncle Michael and Henry there made the games even more fun!












Disneyland!


On the tram into Disneyland!






Cullan & Nelson in their respective 'Letters'








Lauren & Ally- They called it 'Mormon night' at Disneyland(anyone remember when they used to have that?) The first person they saw when they got out of the car was their seminary teacher from highschool! Then we all randomly saw so many people from Utah it was scarey. Ally said " This is the most modest Disneyland I have ever seen!"





I hung with the little guys. I think we went on every possible ride we wanted to. The longest line we waited in was 20 minutes. This was the least crowded I have EVER seen Disneyland I think!






Another day in the sun! On Friday the kids wanted to go back to Disneyland but I was all Goofyed out so Michael so willingly took them. Cullan wanted to stay with me; so Laura, Parker, Cullan and I went shopping, visited Brandi and then laid out in the sun.





I love this picture of Parker. He would have slept outside at night if Laura had let him. He never wanted to be inside.




Happy Birthday to Me!

Yep I celebrated my
Birthday in Cali. One year older...not any wiser. Ron sent a card to my parents house since he couldn't be with us. Cute! It is also my nephew Adam's Birthday too! We had a big party together.



Nelson got me my favorite treat! Creme Horns!

The trip home on Sunday was LONG!


Cullan got sick and we stopped twice on the side of the road because he thought he was going to lose it. I think he might have just been car sick. I know I was sick of the car!!!

It's always nice to get home safe and sound. Everytime I vow I will not make that drive again...next time I'm flying.
