California Trip- San Francisco

For the last 5 days of our trip, the kids and I stayed at my mom's house. It was so great to spend time with her, her sweet man-friend Michael, my brother, and even my dad. The kids were total champs throughout the entire trip, and just loved all of the attention they got. Isabella LOVES her Uncle Justin, and Jacob has a real sweet spot for his buddie Michael.

California Trip- Redding

It was so fun to go to Redding and stay with my Aunt & Uncle, and get to see my sister! Isabella lived in the pool, and loved every second she got to spend with her Uncle Frank. She also got to hold her first sparkler, which she thought was pretty darn cool!

California Trip- Monterey

The kids and I had a great time visiting Grandma V. We were able to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was great. I haven't been since I was pretty young, and it was awesome to see the otters again!

Summer Tour '09

Boy, has it been a busy summer! The kids and I just got back from California, and before that, all of us were in Salt Lake for Amy's wedding (Michael's sister). I'll spare everyone all of the details, but suffice to say we had a great time. The kids were able to meet/re-meet/bond with our awesome family, and I survived a couple of long plane trips without giving away my children.

Here are some pictures, and I'll follow up this post with plenty more!
