California in February*

Happy late Valentines Day! We spent Valentines Day in warm beautiful California. It sure gave us all spring fever for sure. Isn't Blake's outfit cute? His aunt Jenni gave it to him just in time for Valentines!

We were able to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was amazing! I loved it! Jack was loving it at first until we got to the otter aquarium.. he was admiring the fish when all of a sudden an otter shot across in front of him and about gave him a heart attack. lol. After that he wanted to be held when we were close to fish, and he still leaned away every time a fish swam near him! They had great things for kids to do. Jack was able to touch the star fish. He was having a great time with that. He actually grabbed one and tried to pull it out of the water!! haha, I think the worker there about died, but no worries, no star fish were harmed!!



Haha doesn't Jack look excited about getting his picture taken?



This was out at Morro Bay. It was beautiful, and fun to walk around that town. There were many beaches we were able to play at. Jack loved to pick up rocks and put them in the bucket we were keeping for sea shells... we had to keep dumping alot of them out when he wasn't looking or else the bucket would've overflowed!!





Jack was having a great time at the beach until the tide came in and startled him! He then sat right down in the water and started crying!! Poor little guy! After that he always had his eye on the ocean like it was going to get him! He made sure all of us didn't get too close either! What a funny little guy!

Jack and his grandma are best friends






Oh and in case your wondering, the plane ride went better than we thought it would. Still had to deal with a wound up toddler and a colicky baby, but we made it!! - and we're still alive! :) We sure love those boys!!

  1. What fun! I'm totally jealous that you guys got to go somewhere warm for a little while! We took AimeeLynn to the aquarium once and she loved it! Its one of my favorite places to go to when we visit my family back home in Seattle. :) By the way, the pictures are beautiful!

  2. You have such a cute family! I'm jealous that you were able to go to California and get out of this weather for awhile. Too bad you had to come back to it!
