Girls Trip to Cali

The weekend before Halloween some girls from my work and I went to spend the weekend in Cali and go to Six Flags. We had such a great time. It was a SO needed trip for all of us. We are all trying to have babies right now with no luck so we thought since were all depressed lets do something pregnant girls can't, RIDE ROLLER COASTERS!!!!

This is Tom Tom. He is what help us get around Cali without getting lost. Shout out to Tom Tom and special thanks!!

This is where we stayed in Santa Monica

We got there Friday night and just had to eat. So we went on the town. We went down Third Street Promenade to eat and look around.

Danielle, Tarin, Me and Kirsty. All the girls that went on this CRAZY trip!

This is us in our room goofing off. We stayed up really late talking, laughing and just having a great time.

The morning before all the fun. On our way to breakfast.

I love this girl, she is hilarious. She works up front in our office so I really didn't know her well before this trip. Now I just think she is so fun and he-larious!!! If anyone of is deserve a baby, its her. Her and her husband just got their certification to adopt and they are so super excited. Congrats Kirsty!


On are way to Six Flags and getting to Six Flags. Let the FUN begin!




Right when we entered Six Flags all the characters where out so of course major picture opportunity.

The Six Flags guy!! I was so excited to see him that I got a picture of us running after him. I started singing the song and right away he started dancing. Funny, funny!!!

We hit the Viper first. And of course it was AWESOME!!

We didn't ever go on the X2 because it always had a 3 hour wait but we got a pic anyways. And then our shadows, I was having a lot of fun getting random shots.

THE BEST RIDE EVER!! The Tatsu. Holy freakin cow, I can't tell you how crazy this ride is. Danielle and I loved it so much we went on it again later that night. I about had a panic attack when I was looking at the ground at a billion feet up, thinking about my seat breaking. It was so CRAZY!!!

THE WORST RIDE EVER!! We all hated this ride. It was so rough and crappy. It gave us all a headache.

THE LONGEST WAIT RIDE!! We hated this ride because we waited for 2 hours for a 2 min. ride. Danielle and I took pics of how we felt. It sucked!

Lunch break and the haunted houses. Since it was Halloween, Six flags was all deced out and crazy dressed up people were every where. They had a ton of haunted houses and we got to ride the Colossus backwards. That was so crazy but so much fun. I hate being scared, I hate scary movies and I hate, hate haunted houses but I went with girls because of all the pressure. It was horrible and of course I can't hide how I react so they all picked on me. Running after me, breathing on me, yelling at me. I HATED IT! I will never do it again. After I got out I was almost in tears and having a panic attack and it wasn't even that scary. I am such a wimp.

More rides.

Kirsty and Tarin went on the Goliath while Danielle and I went on the Tatsu again. I was to much of a weeny to go the Goliath. And then we said our good byes to Six Flags. What a fun trip, I had a blast ladies!

Breakfast the next morning. Then we did a little shopping on third street promenade. And then hit up the Santa Monica Pier.

We had of course hit up the beach. We just hang out and took lots of pics. Tarin did a little talent show and showed off her cheer leading skills from back in the day. She's still got it even though she biffed it on her round off back hand spring tuck. Whatever Tarin, you know your awesome all of us can barley do a cartwheel. Ha, ha!

I just love our jumping pics! Tarin thought she was so clever. I have to admit that is the funniest pic I have ever seen.

A crazy guy feeding disgusting pigeons with his mouth and a half naked guy performing something and us looking over the beach and the Santa Monica pier.

Every Sunday the pier does a memorial for all those who have lost their lives in Iraq. Each cross represent someone and the red crosses represent 10 people but I didn't really catch who the 10 people were. It was pretty eye opening and sad.

After the beach we headed home. Thanks girls for a fantastic trip, I had a great time and it was so great to get to know you all a little better. I love working with you too, even though I only work here and there. Love you girls!

Disneyland Trip!

My whole family went to Disneyland over October break (bad idea!) and it was so much fun! Although VERY packed and VERY hot we all had a great time. Brennen loved it and Bryson just came for the ride. He did get to go on a few rides but mainly he was cranky for being in his stroller all day. It was so great to be with my whole family and want to give a HUGE thanks to my Mom and Dad for willing to take the kids off our hands for a little bit. They were so great. Pretty much they were there to be with their grand kids and we totally appreciated the help. It was major work taking a 3 year old and 21 month old on a plane, transferring them for car to hotel, car to Disneyland, car to restaurant. I felt like that's all we did. CRAZY, CRAZY couple of days!! Glad we did it and can't wait to do it again. Maybe when the boys are a little older though! I just got back from Six Flags last weekend so expect lots of pics of that trip soon. Love the crazy time of year!!!

This was the highlight of the trip for me. Brennen got to meet Woody, no Buzz light Year but at least we got to see Woody. First time we saw him we chased him down but he wouldn't stop to take a pic with us but later we saw him again. Thank goodness! Brennen was so sad Woody wouldn't talk to him the first time. But he redeemed himself with a hug and a high five. Thanks Woody!

Yummy turkey leg!!

Brennen just loved hanging out with the Toy Story Soldiers. He was so cute standing there, looking at them thinking they were so cool.

I have to say I had such a great time with all my sisters. They are so crazy and make everything so much fun!

You can't go to Disneyland without getting a Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich, right? Well I thought so and what a mess they made.

On the airplane on are way to Disneyland!!! I am so glad I had so much help with Bryson because there was no way he was going to stay on my lap the whole time!

So on the last day we of course had to visit the beach. Sunset beach was the closest. The water was freezing but that didn't stop Brennen. He was the only one brave enough to jump in. Crazy kid! It was very foggy but still had a great time.

Taking pics with Travis is such a chore. He is such a brat sometimes (maybe it's because I am trying to be a photographer and I take his pic ALL the time). So this is me getting mad and making him kiss me. Ha, ha, ha!! I always win.

Sunset Beach Photo Shoot

I love, love to take pictures and seeing how we were at a beach I wanted to take pics of my family. The fog made the lighting horrible but I did my best and I think they turned out okay.

This is my brother Logan his wife Melissa and their boy Miles.

Me and my Family

Travis just tore his left knee wake boarding and can't really run but I wanted one so this is him trying to run. Thanks for the effort babe.

My sisters Mariah and Jezerea

My sister-in-law Jenny's brother and wife live in Cali and they met us at the beach, here is a pic I got of them.

My Mom and Dad, love it!

My Dad hates taking pics and thought this was so lame but he didn't anyways, way to go Dad!

My Brother Tyler, his wife Jenny and their boy Steven

My sister Keshia and her husband Scott

And this is our only group shot we got the whole trip. Yeah for Disneyland and the beach with the fam!!!

San Carlos, Mexico

Well this month is when it starts. The craziness! I love this time of year but it always goes by so fast because there so much going on. For us it starts this month. Every October for the past 3 years we have been going to San Carlos with Travis Mom and her husband. The rent a condo for the whole month, we pick a weekend and visit them. The kids love it, the water is perfect, the waves are just right, and the sunsets are amazing! Except this year the weather was mostly overcast and raining but the end of the last day we were there we finally got some sun. It wasn't too bad though it was still warm and the rain wasn't so bad. We still were on the beach almost all day. That's all the boys wanted to do, was play in the ocean. Here are some pics of our trip. I am so excited for next week, we are going to Disneyland!! Like I said craziness!!!

Here are some of the sunset pics I got, AMAZING!

There crabs everywhere and the boys loved chasing them. Travis caught a few and I was surprised Brennen actually held one in his hands.

Travis took us all out on the canoe in the rain. The boys didn't mind and we all had a great time, singing, playing, and enjoying each others company on the canoe ride. When we were coming back in Travis' Mom got some pics of us and got a really good one of us coming in on a huge wave. Good Job taking pics Donna! I love all the ones you got.

Here are some pics of the cousins. Travis sister Tara and her family came too. Brennen and Mason have such a fun time together. And the boy with the stern look is Tara's boy Quinn, silly boy!

What a fun trip. I love spending so much time with my boys and having Travis there the whole time enjoying it with us. It was such a relaxing trip, playing games, eating, swimming, taking nice long walks on the beach, catching crabs, and talking. Love family vacations!! Can't wait till next week!
