California Dreaming

FUN STUFF!!

So I let some time pass since my last blog post. My bad! But I am happy to say I have greatly enjoyed my spring break in sunny southern california :) it is so nice to be home. I do not think I have ever appreciated it more than last saturday when I woke up and was able to go on an awesome hike with my dad (it ended up being a bit longer than expected when we went off the trail and trespassed on multiple farms instead and eventually made our way back after probably 5 or so miles) then I got to go swimming and lay out with Micah and Katie. Now that is something I can NOT do in utah at this time of year. Then I finished up the night babysitting Chloe and Lilah..they are just too cute. Sunday we all went to Chris and Stacy's house for dinner and it was so awesome seeing everyone. there really is nothing better than family :) Monday I saw Rango with mom! (apparently reviews from anti-smoking groups said it should have been rated 'R' for all the smoking baha but we thought it was great). Tuesday my Dad and I made a trip to the Spectrum, natural cafe, and home depot! Wednesday was disneyland with Micah, Chelsea and her girls, and Stacy and her kiddos. It was an awesome, hot sunny day. Kids went on their first rollercoasters and all had a great time and behaved very well. Thursday included dentist appointments with Doctor Brown (no cavities for me or micah!) and playing volleyball for hours with dad that night. Friday was lunch at the habit with mom, michaels and trader joes stop, then a little bumming out in front of the tv. (mom is recovering from being sick :( )And today, Saturday, Chelsea, Chloe, Lilah, Kelda, Izzy, and I all went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. We had a great time, it was princess day!! The authenticity of the princesses was debatable but it made for a good laugh. Afterwards we went to an excellent cupcake bakery, wayyyy too good. Now I am preparing to make the long drive back to Utah tomorrow with Micah, eeeek!! Had such an awesome week hanging with the family, love you all!

2)A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

Well this was a tie between mom and dad. But I think mom has an extra nine months or so on dad ;) But oh well. I am so lucky to have amazing selfless parents. They are incredible examples and I feel so blessed to have them in my life!! They always put everyone above themselves and care so much for their family. Glad I got to spend a lot of time with both of you guys this week!
