California Trip

We drove out to California to surprise dad for his 60th birthday. We met him and mom at a restaurant...he was very surprised!

The waitress who took the picture caught dad between smiles so contrary to what this pic shows, he was having a good time :)

Must have been a bit too noisy for Squeezy!

He loves digging in the sand!

It's so sad when we have to leave :(

Just fun...

This is the first (4-21-08) day the girls sat in their booster seats and ate breakfast with the boys...everyone was so excited.




Squeezy likes to pretend he's asleep in hopes that he'll get "woken up" with a tickle!

He just had a bath so I combed his hair like a little gentleman...normally it's wild and crazy :)

Daddy and Carson

All my boys!

Tony turns 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my rush to catch up on this blog I completely forgot that my dear husband turned 30!
Here's the low down...

I tried to surprise him with a fun day of guy stuff with his friends...he ended up finding out about it but never told me so I went through the whole charade of lying to him, anyway, he came home from his guys day to a surprise birthday party (which he also found out about). His dad and Debi flew in to surprise him too which he did not find out about so at least one surprise worked out! Here are some pics...not great ones but at least we all know and have documentation that he really did turn 30!

Look at all those candles!!!!!!!!


He had lots of other family in town too. Some that live here and others that came to visit...
