California Trip to Beach and Legoland

I've never been to CA so it was fun for us to go. We just up and went one day after the kids got home from school. A surprise trip. We loved it and can't wait to go back. Legoland was perfect for the kids. The beach was nice at sunset although the water was very cold. It was a quick trip but we loved the hotel we stayed in and loved CA. The kids would like to go back this summer and we just might do that. The drive isn't far and the fun was worth it. The displays made out of legos were amazing. The Star Wars exhibit was incredible. So much fun. Plus I'm always happy at the beach.

Easter and fun with Papa 2013

https://plus.google.com/photos/112687680767655602003/albums/5870896457680335185 I'm not sure how to use the new Picasa Photo Album. If you go to that link you should be able to see our Easter pictures while my dad was in town. There are a couple St. Patrick's Day too. I just attached all the pictures because I'm too lazy to go through them all and I'm so far behind in blogging. So some are good and some are not but you see the process of all the in between. It was great to have my dad here. I love my dad! We had fun hanging out and doing a few projects around the house. He hung out with the kids while I mostly worked. I hated that I didn't have more time off with him but we had fun nonetheless. We saw G.I. Joe which was good. The weather was perfect so we got to spend quite a bit of time outside. We had a good Easter holiday with him. Saw a Diamondbacks Game (sort of) and ate well. I'm grateful for my time with him and that the kids can know him. I can't believe how fast the year is going by. I have a ton of posts and pictures to catch up on so I'll keep trying to take time to do it. We've had a busy year and have a lot to update. Kamden turned 7. Kira turned 13. Kaijsa turned 20. I turned 38, hard to believe. We took a trip to California and Legoland. We took a trip to Utah for a wedding. Now we are getting ready for Kaitlyn's, Kinsee's, Larry's and Kaileigh's birthdays. Also summer vacation and everything else that happens. I've started substitute teaching which isn't bad. My job is going well. Larry's health is steady. Kallen is a ton of fun and the kids keep us busy. Hugs and loves to those we care about!
