california dreamin'

we headed down to california at the end of the month to go to disneyland!!! for a few days (which gets its own post...duh) and stayed for a whole week to spend time with my oma and other family. pretty much my whole family is in southern california, so it's a lot of people to see. and i wanted to see each and every person and for everybody to see beckett and meet heath! per the usual, while on vacay i was not a stellar photo taker. i regret it every single time. when will i finally change my ways? when?! probs never.


my oma meeting heath. i love this first picture. it has to be cool to meet your baby's baby's baby, right?! i spent a ton of time with my oma as a babe (i first walked in the same apartment she lives in now!) and i wish my kids could be with her more. she is the very best oma around. 



my tante lorle... my oma's sister. heath liked my tante lorle of course (everybody does), but it wasn't like when baby beckett met her. he could not get enough of her face. he just scream, laughed every time he saw her. 



my uncle jack making angry bird collages with beckett. beckett thinks my uncle jack is the coolest and i am not a bit surprised about this. he is really just down to do whatever. one time when i was like 11 and visiting for the summer, i just wandered into jack's room and asked if we could go to disneyland and he was like, "um... okay." and then he just took me! like right then! what?! that's a pretty cool uncle.


taking a walk with papa... my dad. beckett for some reason always has a lot to say to my dad and just jabbers on and on and i think my dad maybe gets like 30 percent of the conversation. he is used to just nodding and agreeing though because he talks to saige a lot. 


we went to the beach one day (in january...whatever) and did all the typical santa monica pier beachie type things... hot dog on a stick, carousel, beach playing, and we met up with matt's step brother, marc. he lives in la because he is a stuntman and is fancy.  








oh... my biggest non-photo taking regret day. we went to the valley to see my dad's family and i was such a bad picture taker! why?! i have not one photo of the boys with their cousin mason and i am SO sad about it. i did think i was going to see them again and then it didn't work out, but i should have been better!


i do have some pictures of heath with my cousin (who i call aunt) heather. i have never met anyone who loves babies like she loves babies. i pretty much didn't see heath the whole day. i also realized that heath is kind of like her namesake... what?


here's an obligatory sister picture because we are shameful about being all together at one time. it happens like every five years. i hate that. oh! you'll notice that saige came to california too! so did marcello, but he isn't in the picture. you'll just have to trust me... he was there. 


after disneyland we popped down south for a day to visit my good friend from college stephanie. she has a sweet baby girl, liana, and another sweet baby girl in her belly. (she is actually here now as i type this, BUT when we visited she was still in belly.) liana is so tiny and precious and we enjoyed getting to spend a little time with them.





that's the end! on to disneyland!!!

papa and auntie saige visit!

oh blogging, you are a double edged sword... i love you and hate you at the same time. i'm behind again, trying to get over it and just catch up! last, last weekend my dad and saige drove up to see us. we had a relaxing weekend and spent some time outside and at parks and you know doing things revolving around what a 1point5 year old likes. that's how we roll these days. thanks for coming to visit us, we love seeing your faces. 

beckett would like you to sit by him... riiiight here

 we tried to do a layered photo... saige is a photo hog though

 saige's hair is wild and free... like the waves

 being this tall is the funniest

 our cutie cute family!

 i love him... a lot

i had to crop saige out... her face was crazy, you're welcome saige. also, beckett is now smiling like he is maybe about to bite someone. we are working on that.

my dad found a dog. we named her daphne. then he found her owners... and her name was really lady. daphne was a way better name.

isn't this precious? b really loves his auntie.

swing time... do you love b's new lounge pants from his yiayia?

 oh, you kids...

is it just me or is he very, very adorable

getting ready for a picnic

quick power nap...

lunch time!

i have seen many a child cry on this spin thingie, but b loves it

 um... this is the end of the pictures. see you soon dad... and saige... and will.

paint the town

last friday i took grace and jane to paint pottery at university village. my dad and saige were visiting and they kept beckett... so it was a girls day! i had a fun time painting pottery, eating cupcakes, and shopping with the ladies, but i did miss b a tiny bit. beckett had a fun time with papa and aunt saige at juanita beach park and eating frozen yogurt! lucky him.
