Whirlwind Trip

We were so happy to have Mimi, Opa, and Jake visit, we were talking about it for weeks.  Jake is our resident Star Wars expert and the boys couldn't wait to talk all about it, watch the movies and eat pizza, and take him on Star Tours at Disneyland.  We were also happy the boys have real beds so we could accommodate some guests (but little did we know our shower would be out of order)!

They got in monday night while I was at school, and the boys could not settle down to sleep.  They just wanted to get going!  


The first day we did Disneyland.  We had so much fun on all the rides, and loved having lunch at the Golden Horseshoe (my fave place to eat and be entertained).  The highlight was the boys being able to go on Star Tours twice in under 20 minutes!



The next day we went to Manhattan Beach and had a perfect beach day.  It was sunny but not too hot, we got Cafe Rio on the way and ate it on the beach, and the boys had a blast playing in the waves.  We ended the day with some yummy ice cream. 



The next morning we stopped at Julienne's for some amazing breakfast and ambiance, then they were on their way up north.


The trip was short but sweet.  We can't wait to be together again this summer!

 Easter was full of egg hunting, decorating, church, and lots of candy!

Catching Up

The last few weeks have been a little busy but a lot of fun.  I think we've finally caught up on appointments, to-do lists and visits.

We were so happy to meet our new pediatrician (who happens to share our interest in Star Wars), and finally diagnose the allergies behind Ryker's eczema- pollen, peanuts, and egg whites.


We also finally made it to the Skirball Center, and it only took me 2.5 yrs of living here! The boys loved the Noah's Ark exhibit.





Last but definitely not least, we had an awesome time at B&G's Bday party.  What could be better than a Star Wars party at Chuck E Cheese?  Jaime wins the Best Mom Award!





These boys have been the sunshine of my days!
