Some MUCH needed Kaley and Cami time!

Elles got to meet her Aunt KK- hooray for Aunt KK! (and Cami too- she loved him- but threw up on him the first time her held her-- just like Ellie to make the moment memorable!)

Emmy really is in love with "Cami" as she calls him.

"KK is my best friend" was a phrase very often heard on our Cali trip ;)

We had SUCH fun getting some much needed KK and Cami time ;)

Aunt Yo Yo and Stanley Koontz's table...

Jason's Grandfather made this table- I immediately loved it before I even knew that.

Aunt Yo Yo and Uncle Sean- what a fun littlw treat to get to see them in Cali too!

The one of a kind design- I just thought it was so cool that Jason's Grandfather left something so creative behind~ I had to capture in on film ;)

love it.

"The Reel" Deal.

Yes! While In Cali- we FINALLY got to see Uncle Cameron perform with his band The Reel (please look it up- I don't know how to do the cool link thing) they were performing to benefit an incredible cause called Courage House- again- please look up...

Emmy LOVED LOVED when Uncle Cami sang- she danced and sang the whole time and still asks if we can go see Cami sing again- she is his #1 fan.

Elle Belle like it too- I was worried that she would think it was a little loud or that the beat would irritate her- but I should have known- like pretty much everything else- she took it in stride.

So Many Firsts...

first pony!

first piggies! (apparently these made Bells feel mildly confused instead of happy- but what can I say- she was 3 months old...)

The Larry's Childrens' Choir~

I wish I had videoed this-- please imagine twinkle twinkle sung beautifully and directed expertly~

Don't they all just look so delighted! I loved it.

Folsom Zoo-

This is just a sample of the GREAT times had at the zoo- animals- how can you go wrong?

Emmy loved this peacock... until it suddenly terrified her for no reason that I noticed- then, she was outta there~ what's funny is that just a little while later- this guy turned into a crazy Kung Fu Panda 2 style attack peacock as he was trying to kill a fellow suitor to impress a hen- it was awesome.

What the Hail?!

Emmy thought she had died and gone to heaven- she shares my un natural love of ice ;) here she is picking up a slush ball that J and Grandpa Larry were throwing in her direction- she was delighted!

Yes folks- it HAILED while we were in CA-



The weather was weird- but it was still amazing!

The 3 Musketeers...

Emmy got to spend a lot of fun time with Gavin and Griffin (cousins on Diana/Larry's side)- they are the cutest and nicest 3 yr old twin boys on earth- and Emmy fell instantly in love~ with both of them... here she is making that abundantly clear ;)

They were such a good fit together- they sang songs, laughed and played- and then played some some more~

a new favorite picture.

she doesn't play favorites!

Another AMAZING thing to add to the California trip- BEST FRIEND COUSINS! Thanks boys for including Emmy.
