Bitter Sweet

My siblings and my mom. My sister Ashley and my dad were not there. SAD!





Berkeley kept diving into holes and doing face plants into the sand. They usually ended in a small baby meltdown!
Berkeley and her cousin Rilee

Berkeley and her cousin Ansley....they were twins, it was really cute.


My Best friend Raemarie, and I....she came out one day to hang out with us. It was really fun!



Berkeley found this cool spot to crawl to all the time. She loved it.


Berkeley looked so cute in her hat. She doesn't try to take it off either, so I think she likes to be extra cute!

This is my nephew Brody who was so excited to eat a hot dog I just had to capture the moment.


I'm back home now, and I will say its bitter sweet. I'm so gLad to be back at my house with my bed and my tivo, and extra glad to be back with Todd. But I was sad to leave CaLifornia. I was going on 2 and a haLf weeks and I couLd have stayed 2 more weeks. I was in heaven. The weather was gorgeous....like 85 every day and I came home to 110....yuck! It was such a great vacation though. Newport beach was a blast. We did the beach thing all day along with going back and forth from the house for naps. Then at night we would go on bike rides and out to dinner, then finish the day off with adult time incLuding serious conversations about life in general and games with uncontroLLable laughter. It was so fun to hang out with my family. Now understand, I just downLoaded 156 pictures just from the past 2 weeks! So it was hard to pick and choose....there were so many cute ones. But I guess anytime you are at the beach every singLe picture is pretty.

Hey Jillian... I am a good friend of Brookes (she'll vouch for me). I have fun coming to your blog and reading your entries. You are so creative!! I love your necklace in the pic with your friend...is it one of "Helen Ficalora"??

Loved the new downloaded pics of Long Beach and your family. What a great trip, so sad when we have to come home in July, isn't it.

Sounds like so much fun. You've been to the beach more than me and I live in Cali. Your Dad came over to my parents house on Sunday for dinner while you were at the beach.

Cute necklace...that is the one Dennis got me for having the baby. I can't wait for delivery so I can finally wear it. What charms did you pick?
