LEGOLAND!




Rides for all sizes





My favorite moment of the day was seeing Juliet ride on her very first roller coaster. You never know how these things will go. You hope they like it, but what if they start freaking out and lose it? I was a little nervous. Just one look at her and you could feel the excitement and the unknown feelings building as we climbed the first hill...and when we got to the top and started to drop she was lost in a fit of giggles! I can't even explain how amazing it felt to witness these moment of sheer joy. Very cool. A ride lover is born...




We loved it here -- not only did we get to ahng out with Mel & Jason, Darcy & Erik and all the kiddos, but we were surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds and great free play structure so it didn't feel like you were standing in line all the time. Highly recommended...I am not sure who had more fun...

San Clemente



We loved seeing Darcy and Eric's new house and enjoyed the pace of life down south. It was great to reconnect with the boys and are always amazed by how much they've grown and changed between visits. Wish we lived closer. Peace love and happiness

Quality time





We miss you all so much! The girls had a blast.

Juliet fell in love...



She didn't want to leave the beach. Who could blame her?

Goofing around in the Pacific



A lovely day soaking in the sun...



... our beach day treated our minds and spirits very well. Much needed.

Mama: "Juliet, we always need to stop what we are doing to use the potty"
Juliet: " But Mama the pee just jumped out"

A moment working together...



With 4 little kiddos running around, down time was rare -- here they are, all 4(!) taking a break to do some art together.
