V ♥ A ♥ C ♥ A ♥ T ♥ I ♥ O ♥ N

Vacations are soooo nice and refreshing, but it’s always nice to come home! Eric and I went on a late “honeymoon” to California. In fact we celebrated our 6 month anniversary! We laid out at Huntington Beach for a few days, La Jolla Beach for a day, went to Disneyland, Sea World, and we even went to a Padres game and even though they lost BIG TIME, it was a blast!! We went to dinner with my friend, Heather and her family and we got to visit with my cousins and aunt and uncle. I had a dear friend suffer from a sudden stroke and she passed away while we were gone. She has 4 little kids and her youngest was only 14 days old. My heart is so sad, but I know she is in a better place and her family will be remembered in my prayers. Anyways, our plane flew in to SLC 1 hour before Mackenzie and Coleman’s plane landed, and we had a wonderful reunion (pictures coming soon)!!! We have really missed them and we are glad to have them home! Now it’s time to get back to real life. Eric has gone back to work, and the babies I tend have come back!! In fact, I tend an 18 month old and she only wants ME to even touch her and it gets a little draining. We went to the church for an activity and she was standing by the door and she saw us and she started crying and went running open armed to MACKENZIE! It was so stinkin cute (and shocking), and now they are great friends! What a relief for me!


Eric on the way to Cali resting up for lots of fun!!

The view from the pier at Huntington Beach. TONS of people!


Eric and I soaking up the sun!



Juliana and I at dinner on the pier
After dinner w/ Heather, Kaj and Juliana. It was windy on the pier and we were freezing....probably because we were sun burned!
Eric and I at Disneyland

Riding the race cars at Disneyland
We didn't want to wait in line to see Mickey and Minnie, so we took this picture during the parade.

Sea World time!
The world famous ShamuAt the dolphin show

We stopped to see the San Diego temple. No, Eric does not comb his hair that way, it was a little windy! Mackenzie thinks this picture is funny because you can see the hair on Eric's arm!! lol
Take me out to the ball game.......

The seals that have taken over the children's beach


Nothing like a hot dog at a ball game (before the game even starts!!) lol

I really like your new picture.

Mom said...

Woops, that last comment was from me, not Marshall and Lauren. I guess they were looking at your blog and didn't log out and I didn't notice.
