Family, Family, Family!

The last 2 weeks we lived in California were full of family fun. Darin's brother Troy came with his family. I was lame and didn't take ANY pictures while they were with us...sad :( They helped us out so much with washing walls and patching holes. We are so grateful for the time we had with them. Darin was so happy he got to spend a day at Six Flags Magic Mountain with them and I was happy that he had someone else to go with on all those scary rides!

My mom, and Darin's parents came also during the week to help clean and pack. It was nice having the help we did with Nash too. They watched Nash for us while we enjoyed an afternoon at California Adventure...SO MUCH FUN!! Troy's family stayed for a week, and then the Cosby clan joined the craziness for a week. The first day the Cosby's family joined us we took our last trip to Newport Beach. I remembered my camera this time and here is some of the fun...


This is the first picture since having Nash that I have not Photoshopped myself skinny.
(FYI I won my weight loss competition...28lbs BABY!!!....YEAH...it's over!)

Silly little monkey!
He loves his daddy!
The kids had so much fun in the cold ocean! They were ready to run after being cramped in the car for so long.
Sadie got her BAY-WATCH on!
Koen couldn't contain himself and stripped down to his undies....uh-oh!
We were able to watch sea-lions and dolphins and enjoy the nice weather.
Fun was had by all!
A trip to the beach was a great way to start off our last week in California!

Oh how fun! That is nice you had so much family come out to help you move, back and clean. I especially would enjoy the help with the cleaning. I'm glad you were able to do some fun things with them while they were there. I love the pictures of the kids at the beach, and they never care how cold the water is, it is amazing!

Yah for you--I am very proud of you but knew you could do it since you were always the one pushing me to go out and run. Share what program you did I can't remember. Congrats you look beautiful!

You will miss Calif. I'm sure. Koen cracks me up. He did the same thing up at the reunion either last year or the year before (can't remember), he saw the water and he was out of his clothes lickity-split...all of them and in the water!

You always have such cute pictures. It's always nice to have some family support, especially when they will watch your kid so you can go play. Sorry we didn't talk to you guys in church. I saw you guys and I kept making Andy look at how cute Nash is. I can't believe how big he's getting. Good job with losing so much weight, and so fast! You will be my inspiration.
