Labor Day Weekend

We spent Sunday at Crystal Cove and Monday at Newport. Got a great deal through our fave Priceline at the Newport Marriott and had an awesome weekend, definitely something I needed. The kids LOVED the beach of course and kept saying how "fancy" the hotel was. Really adorable. Even Jack got into the boogie boarding action and I can't help but feel blessed to have these 3 healthy & happy kiddos and a husband who loves us all so!

Jack...Just Jack

What can I saw about our sweet boy Jack other than he keeps us laughing, is the most affectionate 3 year old I know, and is a true light. He definitely goes to the beat of his own drum and here are some examples.

Mini-Me

Okay, so I think I posted a while back about Jack being a mini-Mike. I was just looking through some pictures and saw a picture of Brooke that if I didn't know any better would have thought it was me at her age. (Does that make sense?) Here it is...

Boogie Boarding Babes

We had a wonderful day at the beach, it really is becoming one of our favorite things to do. Mike taught the girls to boogie board and they're hooked! It reminded me of when I was a kid and would boogie board with my brother, and Erik & Laurie Franzen. SO fun! Many good times ahead for sure!

Idyllwild Camping

We just returned from a great weekend in Idyllwild. Believe it or not, Mike and I had never been there...not together, not separate, not ever. What a well-kept secret that place is! So close, so easy to get to and so wonderful! We had a great time hiking, watching the kids ride their bikes and just relaxing away from it all. The kids did awesome! Slept great, ate great, and had tons of fun! Time to recover...
