Hello Sunshine...

Well we have returned once again from our favorite trip of the year...Indio, California! We love the sunshine and completly relaxed week of life. We wake up run, eat breakfast, swim, eat lunch, nap time for babies, lay out by the pool, swim, eat dinner, put kids to bed, play games, then sleep. Then the next day is exactly the same...soaking in sunshine!!! Some may think this gets boring, but let me tell you it's a kids heaven and a parents paradise. We loved every second of it!
Caleb loving "motor boat motor boat"

Everyone is ready for nap time!
The kids favorite lunch time games on the grass...red rover red rover...
Happy Birthday to Jared...I got him some sushi for lunch on his birthday!
Our annual trip to Pat & Oscars in Temecula! We love this place...not to mention the great conversations!
A few boy cousins soaking in the sun at the playground.
Happy 32nd Birthday to Jared!
For the first three days of our trip we ALL sleep at my Aunt & Uncles house in Temecula...Let's just say it's a tradition, not matter how many people are there...it's literally every room filled with air mattresses and people! During dinner on our last night this is how we found Jacob while waiting to get is food!! I think it's an indication how loud it must have been!!
So, this picture is hilarious. We were eating dinner at Pat & Oscars...and let's just say that Caleb had been a nightmare all night...he was LOUD, WILD and being naughty! There were not enough hands to hold all the kids, and he was pulling and throwing everything in sight. I think I was on the verge of a breakdown...but that's another story. So after a few minutes I was talking with Shan & Todd across the table from me. And I said, "Oh, dinner really hasn't been that bad!" So come to find out in all of Caleb's ornery frustration he had wheeled himself by kicking and throwing a tantrum to a different location. Let's just say I didn't even realize he was missing...bad parenting I know, but it gave us a few minutes of peace and quiet. He doesn't appear to be to damaged by the experience. He actually was happier!!

Well it was a great trip once again! I can't wait till next year, I think I'm planning on going for two weeks next time! Bring on the sunshine and flip flops!!!
