We headed to California...
Our DVD player didn't work the WHOLE trip!
Thank goodness I had my ipod!!!
I didn't hear very much of the chaos behind me!!
It was the best drive ever!!!
Passing this sign gives me butterflies!!!
Our 1st stop on the trip was CLOVIS!!
So we could see the cousins!!!!
Lia was so excited to see "Julie Baby"!
She could stop helping them with their binki's either!
And of course being reunited with Auntie Kimmie
was WONDERFUL!
All of my kids are just smitten with them!
They could not get enough of the baby love!
Kim lives in such a great neighborhood.
There's a community pool that we went swimming in all weekend!
...even when you're on vacation you still have "time out"...
Poor Kyle, but I do love the BUM CRACK!!
We stayed at Kim's for a few days and then we finally made
it to grandma's house!
The kids were so excited to be there!!!
This picture just warms my heart!!
I LOVE seeing all 6 play together!
we went to the park!!!!
When the boys saw Uncle John's motorcycle they HAD to have a ride.
It took a could of days of convincing.... and I gave in!
I know CALL ME NUTS!!!!
They had a blast!
I think I didn't breath the whole time they were out!
this girls just melts me!
Actually she melts all of us!
We're in trouble!
The reason for our trip to California was
the sealing of Cruz, Kash and Julie...
Talk about the perfect day!
How blessed these babies are to call
Kim and Curtis mommy and daddy!
The day was FILLED with pictures!
How lucky are we to have each other for eternity!!!
We were lucky to have family pictures taken too!
I love how they turned out!
I really love this picture of Dan and me!
I sure do LOVE him!!!!
One day while home
all the girls went to COSTCO!
and the boys got to stay home and hold down the fort!
With the DVD player being broken Luke and Cody
entertained Lia by reading to her!
It was so cute!
On Saturday we all went to Casa de Fruta!
The kids all had a blast!
We rode the train, the merry-go-round, and panned for gold!
cousin time is the best time!!!!
Meal time was a crazy time!
Look at all these cute cousins!!!
We also were there for FATHER'S DAY!
How lucky is this daddy!!!!
He is one TIE-riffic dad!
The boys all made him ties in primary!
Our Cute Family!
I'm so lucky to call this man my DAD!
I quickly got away for a little while to reunite with an old friend!
It was so great to spend some time with Francesca!!!
Oh the memories we share!!!
When we got home from Baba had come to visit.
She brought each Great-Grandchild a dollar!
They were so excited!!
With all the siblings in town we too had to get a picture together!
There was a lot of baby kissing going on too!!!!
Kim and Curtis brought their dog Tyson to Hollister.
This little boy came along way over the weekend.
From running away to giving hugs!
Way to go Kyle!!!
Esther's Birthday was on Father's Day this year
Jamie planned the cutest "Popsicle" themed party for her!
