We have been so lucky to go to California twice this year already. On the first trip we got to see a lot of family. We stayed with Nicks mom and his dad, plus his brother Ryan came up as well as his brother Chad and his wife Trisha and their daughters CeCe and Alyssa and their son Tristan. I also got to meet Nicks grandma and grandpa for the first time. They loved their great grandchildren! Madison had a blast following CeCe around and her and Alyssa got along really well. We also went to Disneyland where Madison just had to have a Cinderella shirt and about 100 churros. On our second trip to California we spent all of our time in Laguna Beach. I absolutely love that eclectic little beach town. We had a lot of beach time, it is Madison's favorite thing next to spending time with her grandma, ate a tone of good food, and hit Sea World. It was a great little vacation and we can't wait to go back!
I just love this picture. One of us always had to stay pretty close because Madison has no fear of the ocean.
Wyatt spent most of his time eating his toes. He was not a fan of the ocean.
While Madison was getting wet up to her neck, CeCe and Alyssa would get close enough to get their toes wet and then run away screaming and laughing.
We had to do some serious bribing to get her away from the water but eventually it worked and she snuggled up with her daddy on the warm rocks.
I'm not sure if Madison had more fun eating the cotton candy or feeding Nick.
Now we were lucky to get this picture of mom because she is so busy taking pictures herself. So we took a picture of mom taking pictures.
You may be thinking that this picture is of Uncle Ryan and the kids, but in fact it is of Uncle Grandpa and the kids or at least that is what Madison calls him. We all seemed to think that it suited him too. This is when Madison started to draw on herself too, "Uncle Grandpa does" Thanks Ryan.
We were really bad about taking pictures on this trip, so this pic is of dad and Wyatt when he came up for Wyatt's blessing. Everyone thought that they looked so much alike, it must be the baby blues.
Madison loved Grandpa Chiniquy's dog, I am not sure that the feeling was mutual.

So great to hear from you! Your little ones are so big. Madison looks just like you and Wyatt looks just like Nick! Time just goes so fast... I'm not sure if you flew or drove on your California trips but if you're ever brave enough to drive you are more than welcome to stop by here and stay. You're always welcome. We tend to be a pit stop for many people as they go back and forth from North to South - we love it! Gives us a chance to catch up and enjoy unexpected company as it usually happens to end up. How is life giong for you guys? Is the weather warm up in Washington? I never really associate the word Washington with warmth :)
I'm so glad you tracked us down!
Take care!
