Finally getting back into the swing of things. I started school this last week and this morning I have about an hour of free time so I figure I should catch up on some blogging.
Here is the last few days of vacation and then it was back to the real world!

Enjoy!

Forgot to take a pic this day so these are a preview of the next day!! My birthday flowers!

Two years ago this week our little family made our first adventure up north.

We were living in Southern California at the time so this was Kaylee's debut trip to meet her new grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

We even spent some time visiting Isaiah's brother Nathan and Uncle David

It was a fast and exciting trip. There were several other friends and family we visited but at the time I wasn't thinking about snapping pictures. Oh well..... it was still a great adventure for our family.

In a few months we will embarking on a grand adventure.... Caribbean Cruise!! But first a 7 hr plane ride with a 2 yr old!! O Boy!

Back in 2009 our friends Phil and Shawna decided to tie the knot in an elegant destination wedding in Napa Ca. After a beautiful wedding and private tours around Napa for a few days we headed to San- Fran- Cisco for a day by the bay.

Here are the happy newlyweds!
Here is the ENTIRE wedding party who made the trip from Texas and Cali to be a part of the festivities.

Waiting in line for the trolley was half the fun!

We crammed a lot into one day.

But Kaylee was all smiles...Even if it was summer time and we were freezing by the water!

Great memories....great friends.... and the cutest little girl in the world...what more could you ask for!

At the end of August we ventured the 8hrs south to Redding California to visit my parents and my grandma Jean. Surprisingly we had a great car ride. I was really worried how Kaylee would do but for half the trip she slept and the other half she read her books and watched her shows. I do have to say that I broke down and took the portable DVD player.

I remember before I had Kaylee I thought... "Why do the kids need TV in the car too.... can't they find other things to do...we didn't get to bring a video player when we did our long car rides when I was a kid." Then I realized whoever invented the portable DVD player must be a parent.... and my new bestie. :)

We had a great time in Redding. It has been almost a year since my family has seen us. The best part..... we relaxed the entire time. Kaylee loved playing in the pool!
We enjoyed some really great food too! John is a pro at the BBQ and wow was it good!! Kaylee loved "Dem Bones"
