Destination: California

The kids and I went to California for two weeks to visit Jason's parents. They were getting a little "grandchild sick" and had to spend some time with Brooklyn and Beckam. So, I had to say goodbye to J for two whole weeks. He said he was either crazy or just a really good husband.

This was Beckam's first little trip and first time on an airplane. It was really early in the morning so we all went to the airport in our jammies (my favorite thing to wear!)
He did so well on the plane. People were talking to him and making him smile. He got a little upset as the plane took off, but all I had to do was look at him and he would smile again. He melts my heart!
A big fat thanks to Sue for flying with me!!! We love you!

Brooklyn was making Papa twirl in circles with her. She would clap for them (after making them sickly dizzy) and tell them "good job". She loved having them in the palm of her little hand.

Yes, Grandma also had a broken wrist so they were little twinners.
When does that happen?

Beckam's favorite thing is grabbing his feet and playing with his toes. I have to admit it's my favorite thing too. I have at least 20 pictures of him doing it, it's just so cute.

We went and rode a surry on the boardwalk of Newport Beach (we never make a trip without doing that at least once) and Brooklyn rode in front with her monkey. It was really hot, but the mist from ocean would breeze through the wind making it so perfect. I love the beach!!


Brooklyn really felt in charge behind the steering wheel!

As we were walking around Balboa Island, a group of Japanese girls stopped to ask us if they could take a picture with Brooklyn. ummmm, ok! Brooklyn wasn't sure what to think.

What a fun trip. It looks like you had an awesome time! I am sure it was so nice to have the kids entertained all the time and have some time for yourself. Aren't parents wonderful? I am glad you all had such a great time, even though I am sure Jason missed you all like crazy. The kids' costumes are very cute too!

Okay, so now I'll forgive you for taking so long to post! Looks like you had tons of fun! Your kids are as beautiful as ever and I am still thinking Brielle looks a little bit like her cousin Brooklyn! Yay! What're you guys doing for Thanksgiving?

Fun trip. But I was curious. You mentioned Beckam loves to grab his feet and play with his toes. Then you wrote "I have to admit it's my favorite thing too.." So do you like grabbing your feet and playing with your toes? Sounds fun.

What an adorable family you have. Your little girl looks so much like you. Of course she is gorgeous. And your little boy what a lady killer. I found your blog through some other blogs and it was good to see what you've been up to. Hope you don't mind if I check in from time to time.
