Last month I flew out to California with my sister-in-law, Shannon and her girls to see Terri and Monty! Shannon was a little nervous about flying alone with a 3 year old and a newborn baby for such a long flight, so we both flew into Charlotte and flew together to LAX. The flight went amazingly well on the way there, Kayleigh slept pretty much the entire flight, while Taylor talked and talked and talked...but she did great. It was my first time flying with children, I typically take a nap, read a book...this time consisted of trying to get Taylor to play the "Quiet Game" she wasn't very good at it :) I seriously can't complain one bit though, they were perfect!
I was so fortunate to have my girlfriend, Ashleigh and her little guy, Mason come visit me at Joe's parent's house. We hung out for a little while and she drove me back to spend the night in Orange County. We started off going to Laguna for a festival in the hills. It was awesome, I can't believe that Joe and I never took the time to go when we lived there. It was so great spending so much time with Mason too, he has changed so much sense the last time I saw him, he has two teeth and was trying to crawl and pull himself up on everything! He is just the cutest little guy and SO HAPPY! Later in the week I drove back to Orange County for a dentist appointment and stayed another night with Ash and Mason...I loved being back in my old stomping grounds, made me miss it so much.
The day before we left Rachel, Jaiden and Chase flew in from Michigan to spend a week with Terri and Monty as well. The cousins had never met, so it was a lot of fun seeing them all together. Jaiden and Taylor became fast friends! We really wanted to get pictures of all the grandchildren with Terri and Monty, unfortunately Monty had to work late and the kids were all exhausted (especially Jaiden and Chase with the time change!) The pictures are funny and sad...but I had to share!
So, here are a few pictures from our visit, it was a great time all around. The best part was that Terri was able to meet her new grandchild before they went back to Germany. I can't wait til Shannon and the family are back in the states FOR GOOD! Miss them all so much XOXO
Kayleigh, hanging out :)
Mason, playing in Terri and Monty's yard, what a big boy!

Callen, she is the Gerber Baby I swear!!! SO CUTE!
Our friends Kristin and Grant came by and wanted to see what Mason would look like with a handlebar stash.
Not the best pic of Mason...dang it!
With Emily and Callen!
We took some pictures one day in the backyard...so cute huh?!
Love this!
Who's your mommy?! LOVE them both!
Taylor loved Brandy, they were buddies the second we got there...maybe because Taylor loved feeding her??
Perfect!
So glad I was part of making this moment happen :)
Tay likes the "tilt your head" look...so I went with it!
Cuties!
Monty with the girls...he was so good with Kayleigh, I'm pretty sure we could have gotten him to change a diaper, he was really in love with K!
This was our first take...total ciaos.
This was somewhere around take 20...work it Taylor!
With Rachel, Chase and Jaiden...and Brandy :)
