San Juan Cap & Josie Bday

This year we had a huge family vacation with Dannys family, and we all went to Disneyland. So as a good excuse before hand, we went and visited my brother Scott and his wife Larissa, and my brother Greg. We stayed there for about 4 days, and did as much as we could... we went to the beach, and breakfast at the pier, shopping in Laguna, and of coarse went and got my favorite dessert.... a PIZOOKIE. Went out to dinner and some yummy places, and did lots of swimming. Josie didn't love it, cause she'd get cold so fast... so Kelli would swim a lot with everyone. We brought Jeff down with us, so he could work with Scott for a week. It was so much fun... Josie's birthday was coming soon, so we decided to have a make shift birthday party and Larissa made her a cake. It was so much fun. She blew out the candle and everything! Here are a few pics... My camera is so big that I never brought it to the beach but Scott and Larissa did... I'll get those pics from them and then post later...

(Below: Kelli swimming across the pool at Scotts house. She was timid at first, and would wear a life jacket (there's no gate around the pool in his yard) but then she couldn't swim as good. So we lost the jacket, and she would swim and go everywhere with a little inner-tube thing. She loved it and was able to get good enough to chase people down in it. She LOVED it and wanted to swim all the time.)
(below: They had one of these rafts at the pool, and Kelli loved to lay on it, and have people push her back and forth from one side of the pool to the next. She thought she was a princess. And when Uncle Scott is around.... she is TREATED like one!)
(below: Brody found such a wondeful friend... Josie followed him everywhere he went. I think it actually drove him crazy... he'd lay down and get comfy, and she'd come around the corner, he'd lift his head and look at us like..."are you going to get her or is she going to attack me?" then she'd come and attack, and he'd get up and walk away somewhere else and lay down. She thought it was a game... Poor Brody!)
After we left Scott and Larissas, we went to Disneyland for a week. We were going to head back to Utah after that, but decided that we couldn't leave Sunny So Cali just yet, so we met up, went to a Sample sale, Thanks to Greg and him working for DC SHOES and got hooked up with Quiksilver and Roxy and DC SHOE everything, and went back for one last night in San Juan Capistrano. Thanks for the letting us barge in and move in for a weekend. We always feel so welcome and we had such a fun time with swimming, bon-fire, beach, food, THRIFYS ICECREAM, movies, games, and everything else that we did. Thanks for everything Scott and Larissa... and we're glad that Greg was up there to enjoy the whole weekend with us... even with his injury!
