Wyatt Invades California!!

We have had a busy week with Wyatt here. I decided that I would do a one week recap for each week that Wyatt is here.
Shane and Wyatt arrived in California on Monday morning. Wyatt was so excited to finally be in California and excited for his summer vacation to begin. We did not do too much monday. We came back to the house and played. On tuesday we went to the movies and went swimming. Wednesday we went swimming again. Then on Thursday we went to Disneyland. We decided that we would focus the day in Disney's California Adventure. It was such a fun day. We got to go on so many rides, some for the first time. Wyatt was finally tall enough for California Screamin. He loved it!! We went on it 2 times, tried for a third but the ride broke down before we were able to get on. After DCA closed we headed over to Disneyland for fireworks and a few more rides. On friday we were so tired that we stayed around the house. Corbin was over for the day so the boys went swimming again and just played together. On Saturday it was back to Disneyland. This time we focused the day at Disneyland. We went on all our favorite rides. Wyatt got picked to do the Jedi Training Academy. That was the highlight of his day, maybe his life!!! It was a fun day.
Today we went to church and then headed to San Diego to pick Chad and Wendy up at the San Diego Airport. They are going on a cruise today for the week. It was fun to see them and we went to lunch and then dropped them off at the cruise ship. I really hope they have a great time on their cruise!! After that we headed back home but stopped to see Grandma and Grandpa on the way.
That pretty much sums up our first week with Wyatt here. We are having so much fun! But time is flying by! This next week Micheal comes down to play and we are going to Disney for one last day, on my birthday! We have some fun things planned for the 4th. It will be another busy fun filled week! I will post pictures as soon and I get them loaded onto the computer.

Summer is Finally Here!!!

I feel that summer has finally arrived. The past couple of weeks the weather has been the normal June weather here in Cali! We have had the overcast morning and it burns off in the afternoon to nice sunny weather and then it is night again and the sun is gone. But this week the sun has been shining in the morning when we wake up and it stays up all day. We have had perfect 80 degree weather all week. Oh so nice! I do love summer time.

We are so excited for Wyatt to come in just a few days. Shane is flying out saturday morning. He will pick Wyatt up on sunday morning and then they fly to California on Monday morning. I think that is a perfect father's day gift for him. It will be so nice to have Wyatt with us for 3 weeks. We have a lot of fun activites planned for him. We of course will do the usual California things like the beach, and Disneyland. But we are hoping to do a few new things like Wild Rivers water park. But most of all it is going to be a time for us all to be together as a family and just have fun.

With Father's day just ahead I would like to tell my husband how much I love him. I think he is the best father in the world and I am so glad that he has his time coming to spend with Wyatt. I know he misses him so much and is sacraficing so much to be here in California. I would also like my dad Brad and my father in law Gary to know that I love them and I am thankful for everything they do for Shane and I. They are wonderful men and wonderful examples to me. I hope all the other father's out there have a great day on sunday.

Here's to a great summer!!!

A Surprise Vistor at Newport Beach

Yesterday Shane and I went to Mission Viejo first thing in the morning. I had an interview at a dental office there. The interview went really good. I am going back tomorrow to do a working interview. So we will see. After my interview, we headed to Newport Beach to meet Bart, Marti, Ava, and Sophie. They are down from Utah visiting for the week. We got to Newport alittle early and Shane wanted to take some picture on the beach. As we headed down onto the sand we saw a sea lion. It was just a baby. Shane took alot of pictures of him. I posted two pictures below. We were sad that Bart and Marti wern't there to see him. But a short while later they arrived and the sea lion was still there hanging out. It was so cool to take Ava down to see him. They had been to Seaworld the day before so She was excited to see him.

After the Sea Lion encounter we went out on the pier and had lunch at Ruby's Diner. Then walked around alittle bit by the shops. After that Shane and I had to take off. Shane had to get home and ready for work. But we had a great time. It was so nice to see Bart, Marti, Ava, and Sophie. We hope to see more of the family soon!! Enjoy the pictures below. It was so cool to see him so close-up.
