Well sorry for the lack in posts as of late...However, I'm happy to say I've had a great excuse...we've been on vacation and loving it!!! Well...I've worked all of two days in the last two weeks....I love my life :) and we just got back about 1 am last night from a 16 hour drive home from northern california...stressful sounding I know...but THANKFULLY Mase was the best trooper and did SOO good coming home...some veggie-tales and elmo saved the day, needless to say we were all ready to be home after being in all that traffic, and the long drive!
So...our trip started out with Brent, Mase and I going to San Diego...we stayed close to Mission Bay which was BEAUTIFUL...went to the zoo, swam at the hotel, went for walks in the GORGEOUS cooler weather, it was AWESOME.
Then we drove the rest of the way up to Santa Cruz where Auntie Shannon and Uncle Vaka live and we met the rest of the family there for the weekend...Shannon got us the cutest cabin in the woods...that felt like a tree house...it was SO beautitul there as well and SO great to get to spend time with Shannon and Vaka who we don't get to see enough. We had some great family time, it went too fast! Ryan and Mason were sure glad to get the heck out of their car seats after the truck home, poor babies...next time pretty sure we're flying :)
It was SO great to get away....I'm so thankful for the families that God's blessed us with...and being able to relax together was much needed! and the chance for brent, mase and i to get away before baby #2 gets here was much needed and stinking AWESOME as well...which by the way...baby #2 is only a few months away...sometimes it freaks me out now and then...I thought to myself the other night at 3 am when he was moving SO Much in my tummy that I couldn't hardly sleep that I was kind of glad he wasn't born yet because i sure as heck didn't want to have to be awake at that time, HAHA...oh my. the journey is about to begin all over again. okay, i'm rambling...here are some vacation pictures....i'll try not to go too crazy! love you all!
