California {Day 1}

June 11, 2013

First day of vacation . . . of course you should have snow cones for breakfast!

One of the best parts of jet lag?
Getting to snuggle with this little cutie.

So fun waking up and getting to see this beautiful lady, Gigi.
I've heard that Gigi (GG) stands for "gorgeous grandma" and it is true for her!

On the go.

We are so excited!!!

To sit in traffic (at 10:30am)!  {smile}

Our first stop?  Target.
But not any Target . . . this is a 2 story Target.
You park on the first level and the whole store is on the second level.

The cool part was the cart elevator.

Then it was to Auntie D's house to say hello.

My niece, Kenzi, played the piano for me.
Songs from Les Miserable.
She is so talented.

Auntie was getting in a year of missed kisses and hugs.

Me and my sis!

Kenzi and I FaceTime-ing (is that a word?) with my sister and niece (one of them) in Colorado.
They came in a few days later.

Auntie wanted to get in good with Ry Guy.
So she gave him a licorice.

Back at home, Savanna (my niece) came over for dinner and to see us.

Rylan got very efficient on the slide.

Probably thought he was a big boy.

Then of course it was dress up time.

Dylan wouldn't let me take a picture of him.
But Ry didn't have a choice.

Day #1 done!

Flying to California

June 10, 2013

Heading to the airport.

Dylan was SUCH an amazing pack mule helper navigating the airport.
He takes after his daddy.

They were so excited to take off.
But unfortunately we were stuck at the gate ONE HOUR after we boarded.  Ugh!

Luckily this little man fell asleep right after take-off and slept for an hour and a half.

Oh Delta, how I LOVE that you serve super-sized Biscoff cookies.

We made it to LAX!

The terminal was on lock-down because of a "situation" and we couldn't get our bags or exit the terminal for over an hour.
Not to mention, they wouldn't bring me my stroller that I gate checked (I was using it to help carry all of our stuff) . . . and a sweet lady carried one of my heavy bags all over the airport trying to find a way to get out.
By the time we were able to exit, it was super duper late and my kids were pooped!

See?  Crashed out on the way home.

Fourteen Months

I'm getting to be such a big boy . . .
I sign "all done".
I can walk backwards.
I can climb up and down my parents bed.
I shake my head yes and no.
I wave bye-bye.
I say "Down".
I had 2 teeth come in within 10 days of each other!
(June 10th, 18th, & the 20th)

My family loves me SOOOOOO much.
I think I am the most special boy on the planet!
