Happy Father's Day

To my dad,

Thanks for teaching me how to keep a head on my shoulders. I will always remember all the daddy/daughter dates we went on. You always made me feel special! Now, watching you with my kids, I can see what mom saw.

To Dave,

Thank you so much for being a wonderful dad to the kids. They really look up to you and admire you. You set such a good example for Gavin on how to treat his future wife. You also set a good example for the girls on what to look for in a husband.

To my father-in-law,

Thanks for raising such an amazing son. I see so much of him in you! He makes up the same silly songs and stories as you do. Dave treats us respect, you should be really proud of him. Thanks for making me feel welcome into the family. I feel like I've known you for more than 13 years.

Thanks again to all the wonderful dads in my life. I love you all!

Happy Birthday Gavin

Gavin turned 6 years old on the 17th! What a milestone showing how old you are using 2 hands. I put trick candles in his cupcakes. He was getting a little mad because they kept sparking and relighting. It was fun to watch him blowing them out. He got Bay Blades. He has to battle Dave just about everyday! I love my boys!

San Diego Trip

Day 1

Flew into Long Beach, played in the sand, and drove to San Diego. It was so nice and sunny! I don't know who was more excited to be in California, Dave or the kids.

Day 2

Went to Sea World. All of us kids loved seeing Shamu and getting wet. The dolphin show was closed:( The kids got to feed seals. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day! The girls and I went on River Rapids and got SOAKED!

Day 3

Dave had to work all day:( The kids and I went to the beach for a couple hours. It was a little cloudy and cold, so we went back to the hotel and swam for a few more hours. That night my dream came true. We went to see the San Diego temple. It's more beautiful than I imagined.

Day 4

It's so nice that Dave takes us on his business trips. He works all day and we go play all day. The kids and I went back to Sea World to see all the things that we missed, or that we wanted to see again. The dolphin was open so we got to see it. It's amazing to see all these animals and see what they can do!

Day 5

Had to pack up and head home:( We drove down to Long Beach and did a little shopping before heading to the airport. Gavin kept waving bye to the ocean. Let the laundry begin!
