Another weekend at the desert

We had a wonderful weekend at the desert.

 We spent Friday night hanging out by the fire, enjoying some beverages and making fun of Wendy and all of the beverages she was enjoying.

 Elle is now 36 weeks!

 Emma played hard and crashed hard.

She loves the desert.

 Saturday night was our seafood night and it was delicious!

 And we also celebrated Melissa's Birthday!

 Sunday morning cuddle time in Emma's bed.

 Some play time with Jackson.

Another visit with the Kok family.

The Kok family came back from Palm Springs and we met up with them in Coronado tonight.

We met up with them at their fun hotel and then we walked to dinner at Peohe's.

We weren't sure if it was a good idea to take the kids to this "fancy" of a place, but they did great.

 After dinner we walked back to the hotel and then some of the group relaxed in the hot tub.

We had so much fun seeing them again.

We are sad they have to fly home this weekend but we are so happy that we were able to see them again.

Thank you guys for inviting us down to spend some time with you!

On Friday Elle turned 8 months old.

Everything about this little lady is so much fun.

She is such a curious, sweet and silly little girl.

Happy 8 months Elle!

We love you to pieces!

A visit with GG Bob & GG Margaret.

Friday evening Elle and I flew to Arizona to visit GG Bob and GG Margaret.

This was her very first time meeting them.

Ebit was supposed to join us on the trip but she came down with a terrible case of the flu.

We missed having her on the trip with us, but we were glad she was able to rest up.

I am happy to report that she is feeling much better now.

Elle had so much fun with GG Bob.

Her favorite thing to do was to pull at his shirt buttons.

Elle also enjoyed some cuddle time with GG Margaret.

Elle was showing off her waves all weekend.

And then this evening we were back at the airport ready to fly home.

I was terrible at taking pictures and didn't get any pictures of Elle with Aunt Suzie.

Thank you to GG Bob, GG Margaret and Aunt Suzie for a wonderful weekend.

We love you guys and miss you already.

We had so much fun and can't wait to go back and visit with Doug and Emma.

And speaking of Emma...

This fancy lady and her daddy came to pick us up at the airport.
We were so excited to see them.

A fun visit!

Sunday we had some very special visitors...

Kevin, Val, Lauren, and Benny came from Seattle and Claire and Hayley drove down from OC.

We packed a lunch and headed to one of our favorite childhood spots, Bates Nut Farm.

 It was freezing outside!

After Bates we went back to our place to play and have dinner.

Then on Monday I took a half day at work and I took the girls and we joined the Kok family at Sea World.

After a fun day at Sea World we headed over to their hotel room for dinner.

We were lucky to have Ryan in town on business so he came over as well.

Douggie, Papa, Abuelita and Jacob also drove down for dinner.

We had so much fun with all of our family!

We can't wait to see them again in a few weeks.
