Beach boys!

I have a little catching up to do on the blog because of my prior frustration with uploading pictures to blogger. Today it seems to be working pretty well, phew!

In March during spring break we headed out to San Diego and split a beach house with Ben's Mom Anita, and his sisters Laura and Heather and their cute families. We totaled 7 kids and 7 adults!

It was SUCH fun. Our beach house had great ocean views and was really nice!

Our first dinner on our first night!

We made Gracie a mermaid. The kids LOVED playing in the sand.

Grandma's are special.

It just DOES NOT get any better then this:


We visited Sea World. Within the first 10 minutes of arriving Andy split his chin open but all is well now!

Then one day in Disneyland!

Here we all are on the way into Small World!

Charlie loved Buzz Lightyear ride, Small World, and the Winnie the Pooh ride.

Andy seemed pretty happy the whole time and didn't fuss the entire 11 hours we were there!
He even had a special moment with his Fairy Godmother:
Andy chillin' with the girls Maddie and Rosie, waiting for fairly like things:

I thought of the Beach Boys at this moment, "Two girls for every boy!" Gotta love California!

It was such a fun trip, the kids were great, the beach house was perfect. Lots of great memories! Thanks to Ben's family for being so awesome and doing fun things like this!! I loved it.

My bliss:

And then, a few weeks later, I turned thirty.

And that's all I have to say about that.
