southern california
 |
| last week we went down to southern california to get some much needed sun. |
 |
| after chick fil a (obviously) we drove over to the beach. |
 |
| it was basically the first time sun has ever touched tess' skin. she really loved it. |
 |
| when we were done at the beach we went over to javiers for dinner. they sat us outside and the sun was just setting. it was absolutely beautiful. |
 |
| the next morning the boys woke up and went right over to dinseyland. tess and i stayed behind in the hotel room and waited for my mom and aunt brooke to come. there has been several cases of the measles reported at disneyland lately and since tess isnt old enough to have the vacciantion i wasnt going to chance it. instead, my mom and brooke took tess and had a great time shopping all day (despite the fact that i had forgotten ALL the milk i had pumped in preparation for my day away from tess at home!) |
 |
| the gang getting ready to go on thunder mountain! sully was juuuuuust under the height requirement so craig shoved his socks into the bottom on sully's shoes. it worked! |
 |
| and worked again! space moutain baby. sully loved it so much i could hear him belly laughing from the row behind me. (lets ignore tagg's face in this shot) |
 |
| proud boy and even prouder dad. his sock trick was a success. |
 |
| we found goofy on our way out. |
 |
| such a fun day. |
 |
| cant wait to take tess next year. i already have her outfit picked out. |
 |
| the following day we woke up at jumped right in brooke's pool. |
 |
| tess seriously loved being outside and feeling the warm breeze. |
 |
| she just relaxed on the grass and cooed. |
 |
| until i dipped her feet in the pool. she loved that too. |
 |
| brooke and scott got this awesome candy machine for christmas. tagg and sully loved it. the entire weekend was spent looking for quarters in couch cushions and under beds. |
 |
| that night we all went out to dinner. traveling with my parents and taylor and rachelle is such a blast. |
 |
| traveling with tess turned out to be pretty much a blast too. she was a very good little girl. |
 |
| the next day we tore ourselves away from the pool and went over to la jolla shores. it was a gorgeous day and the boys headed straight for the water. |
 |
| my little boogie boarder. |
 |
| tess loved the beach. |
 |
| the boys. |
 |
| catching a wave! |
 |
| after the beach we drove over to fins for lunch. fins is serisouly so good and you can see the temple from its doors. added bonus. |
 |
| this planter was right outside fins. i thought it was so pretty. i wish i could have brought it home. |
 |
| that night we celebrated valentines day by going out to dinner. tess was our plus one. she seems annoyed. |
 |
| our last day in san diego the boys had more fun out at the pool. |
 |
| cannonball! |
 |
| brooke was so sweet to tess and i can tell they are already besties. |
 |
| but craig really wanted tess to get in the water so she had to take a break from singing with aunt brooke and go swimming. |
 |
| my three kids! cant believe it! |
 |
| on the way home that night the sky was so amazing. so pink. |
 |
| and this little nugget was amazing too. she did this the entire plane ride. both there and back. |
 |
| these nut jobs were pretty well behaved too. |
 |
| a very fun trip. |
