Quick trip to CA!

We took a quick little trip over to California for a few days to go to Disneyland and spend some time with Mimi and Papa. California never disappoints!

Liv & I kept sending Nicole selfies of us to make her jealous we were together (Jev + Nicole were in Europe)

fun afternoon walking around the Dana Point Harbor

It's always a non-stop party when we go to California. We love seeing all our family and getting stared at and comments made to as we all parade around town. "Are you all together?" "Do you think you need more kids?" hahaha...

It was a week long birthday celebration for me, my mom and my sister Lisa. We partied every day. It was the perfect birthday and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. 

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

 ::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!!
