California trip part 3- Vegas

Finally, the last of the pictures from our vacation! On our way back from the beach, we planned to stay with my family in Vegas for a night then head back home. Bryson stuck to that plan, but somehow, my little sister Meg convinced me (and Davis) to stay for a few more days. The timing was great because we got to be there with my dad on Father's Day, and I also got to see my grandparents as well as some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I even got to see a few of my high school friends for a few minutes before leaving town. It was a very nice break, and a much needed opportunity to let Meg (and Will) have some quality Davis time.

Meg is such a cute aunt, she wanted to spend every second with this kid



Davis LOVES dogs. He was so excited to play with Bailey, especially after being away from his best friend Kobe all week.



Davis found a new love interest. Mia is about 2 months younger than him, but she's very mature for her age, so we think it will work out.


It was so much fun to see Melissa and her cute kids, Mia and Luke.

California trip Part 2- Lazy Days at the Beach

Bryson and I love the beach, and so it comes as no surprise that Davis does too. We got to enjoy a few of the fabulous beaches in the Newport area, and Davis couldn't get enough of them. He loved crawling around in the sand, and he was fearless when we took him down to the water. Bryson spent most of his time boogie boarding or body surfing, and I spent most of my time being a lazy beach bum, loving every minute of it. Of course a beach trip wouldn't be complete without some local beach food. One of my favorite things was dinner at Ruby's on the pier for yummy shakes and burgers, then a stop at Dad's bakery for Balboa Bars (amazingly sinful treats... basically an ice-cream bar dipped in chocolate, then covered in your favorite topping such as oreos, butterfingers, etc). YUM! I wish we could have stayed for another week!

California trip part 1- Disneyland

We just got back from our family vacation with Bryson's family. We went down to Newport Beach for a few days, but on the way there, we made a stop at Disneyland. It was a crazy day. Bryson and I left Utah after work, got to Vegas at about midnight, went to bed around 1:30am, woke up at 4:30 to drive to Dineyland, and didn't get back to the hotel until around midnight that night. Needless to say, we were exhausted afterwards, but it was a very fun day. The weather was perfect, and we hit all of the big rides (except the few that were closed). Poor Davis had a little cold, but he was a trooper and even seemed to have fun on some of the rides. He really liked the parade at the end of the day too.

One of the first and favorite rides for Davis- the carosel


Wedding hats- mickey style
