easter in california

we went to san diego...again... over easter. since we have sea world season passes we decided to go there all day on friday... once again, jake was in heaven and went strong from 10 am til 9 pm! then on sat we went to the beach.....it was a little too cold for us to lay out (we are currently in the high 80's in phoenix so 65 is cold :) )

halle's first time in the ocean!!!

jake and his cousins had an egg hunt on sunday but i just recorded it so no pics!!

and we just may or may not be going back to california some time soon :)

random family pics

California 2010

the pictures are in the reverse of our trip but oh well!! we started out in vegas for two days and we had a great time staying at the bellagio. then we met my parents, grandma and kel in california and went to disneyland...jake loved it and did great all day. we stayed until 11:30 pm and jake was still going strong so we stopped at in n out. even at 1 am jake was the happiest kid and kept us all laughing! the last day with my parents we went to newport and spent the afternoon there... it was beautiful and jake loved pushing his stroller on the pier. after we said goodbye to my parents (tear) we drove down the coast on highway 1 and i LOVED it!!! the beach towns were awesome especially luguna. we have seaworld season passes so we went there 3 days in a row and jake was in heaven and asks to go back every day! we had a great vacation and the kids were little rockstars :)

this is for you mom and dad.... the room is finally finished!

jake won't let me take any pictures of halle without getting a few of him.... ummm...i have no clue where he got this from :)

it was kind of emotional to put halle in this dress.... i bought it when we were expecting a girl over a year ago and then i miscarried at 20 weeks... i saved the dress as a memory and so happy i did because halle looks like a little princess in it!!!

whoops! same pic!

bracelet- check! bow- check! painted toe nails- check!! i LOVE having a girl :)

this was my older sister's baby dress, then i wore it and then all our dolls wore it and 33 years later halle's wearing it!!! we love you princess :)
