Day 79-83 California visit #2!!

Yes, we went back to California for another family visit.  I feel like I am weening myself off of the state lol.  It was so good to be back and spend time with friends and family!

We flew in Thursday (we each had our OWN row on the plane!  We felt so lucky!) and went straight to one of our all time favorite Mexican restaurants for lunch.  Then we spent the afternoon catching up with people at my dad's work while the kids played.

Friday we ate breakfast with some of our old neighbors and then went back to their house to play all morning.  The boys have missed their friends SO much and they were ecstatic to get to spend time with their "number one buddy" Ryan!  After spending the morning with Ryan, we met up with other friends at Ruby's diner and spent the afternoon hanging out at the mall and playing with other friends.  THEN after that, David and I went on a date night that night to the Cerritos Center to see STOMP.  It was a fun filled day of happy moments for sure!  I am so thankful we got to go back and hang out with so many amazing people on Friday!

On Saturday we woke up and headed to my dad's work where we had a birthday party for my niece.  My family and my sister's friends all gathered over there and we spent hour after hour hanging out eating great food, watching the cousins play, catching up, laughing, and having birthday fun!  It was so fun watching Joel and Connor run around with their cousins and have fun times.  I remember all of the fun I had with my cousins growing up and the boys were having just as much fun.  I am so thankful we were able to fly out and spend some real quality time with our family!

On Sunday, we had an absolute day of rest!  We didn't go to church because it was my parent's Stake Conference, so most of the day we spent snuggled on the couch, sleeping, and hanging out at home.  We went to Crab Cooker in Tustin for dinner and Connor got his fill of crab claws, shrimp, and scallops!  He loves seafood SO SO much it is so cute!  We had a lovely meal in a fun restuarant!  We came home and the boys went to bed and my mom and I sat and watched some television together.  I am really happy we get to stay at their place and hang out with them when we go visit!

So today we went to the airport and had lunch at Ruby's Diner and then got on the plane and flew home!  The flight was pretty pleasant and went by quickly and then it was home for bed time!  The boys both have school in the morning so I need to get going on getting their lunches prepared and getting them ready for the week.  I am so thankful for our fun family times in the past week!  I am looking forward to this week being able to put our home together a bit more and getting into the school routines for the year!  Night all!
