Scottsdale Girls Trip!

I made these little "goodie bags" for Sachia & Kristie to welcome them to AZ

1st stop: to see this handsome dentist for bleaching trays

we stopped by PEEK at Fashion Square mall to say hi and support the L&L girls

LAST CHANCE was of course our next stop...we got shoes for days!!

Chop Shop for lunch never disappoints

Had to get our fuel at QT during our shopping spree day

Blanco Tacos at the Biltmore for lunch on our second day

Hit up Scottsdale Quarter for some more shopping...

running to get pedicures

finished the night by getting makeovers at Nordstrom

Pane Bianco for dinner...glad Megan met up with us too!

car selfies :

After Sachia & I dropped off Kristie at the airport we had a few hours before her flight left so we hiked up "A" mountain at ASU

CALIFORNIA never gets old...

We met up with Laura, Charlie & Alice right when we got to the BeachHouse since she happened to be down in OC

these two just love eachother

Farmers market walking in San Clemente

Park fun with cousins

the sisters racing...i may have won every time :)

celebrated Tate's birthday

 ::Whale Watching::

 ::Disneyland::

this was the first time Crew, Hudson & Max rode California Screamin' and they were hooked!!

silly boys

when it was Navy's turn to see Princess Sophie, she ran up to her so fast and gave her a huge hug. Melted my heart.

 ::Valentine's Day::

We spent all of Valentine's Day at Three Arch Bay with friends. It was perfect!

Ruby's for dinner...Lyla & Navy were getting a kick out of feeding Papa french fries.

While we were in CA, Joe's mom Christy passed away. She had been battling cancer for over a year. Her funeral was so sweet and so sad. She was such an amazing lady. This pic just melts my heart...it's 4 of her 5 boys holding her casket. So grateful for the knowledge that families are forever.

 As soon as we found out that the Bollard's were flying into town from Australia we decided to head over to the beachhouse to join them. Wyatt was all about doing a million things while we were visiting so we did just that. We played with cousins, ate at our favorites restaurants, went whale watching out of Newport Harbor, went to Disneyland, met up with old friends, and much more. California family time is my favorite! I miss living close to my family....at least we aren't too far!!
