Celebration Time!

 We had such an amazing time in So Cal celebrating the 4th and John's 30th birthday. Being with our families is something that we just can't get enough of! Our five packed days consisted of late late nights hanging out with sisters and cousins (Brandon stayed up till 1:30am for the first time in his life!), lots of yummy food, early morning walks on the beach, long days playing in the sand, catching GIANT sand crabs, movies, too many treats, sister time (much needed!), laughing way to hard and crying ridiculously when we had to leave.


My two guys playing in the sand together. 

Cousin time was SO wonderful for Brandon. Here we are on our way to Cafe Rio! 

 Judy took us to a baseball game. It was awesome to see John's family and spend time with them.  

The kids got Dippin Dots...Brandon was in heaven!

We were able to see some of our dear friends while we were down. London, Brandon and Lily had fun hanging out with Brie.

 We can NEVER get enough of Aunt Julie! She is always so much fun to be with. The kids love wrestling with her. :) 

 Penny got to explore the beach. She had a BLAST! We could barely hang on to her leash!

Lily really wanted to walk our crazy dog all by herself. So I let her, and this was the result! Ha! 

Slow down Penny! 

Gottcha! 

That was a close one!



This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it. I love the way Greg is popping his head up and John is looking so lovingly down at him. ;) I have the best family!



Brandon and Penny had a great time at the Balboa Peninsula 4th of July parade. 






Birthday boy! 



My sisters and I. These girls are the absolute best. 




The festive treats for John's birthday!








These pictures were captured just before Brandon burned his toe on a fallen piece of sparkler...major drama and a bummer ending to the night. 


With all the late nights we headed home needing a vacation from our vacation! Ha! Here is my man driving the 9+ hours home. Can't wait to go back!
