Trip To California

Here are some pictures from our girls trip to California - finally!

Sarah sitting in the "Bumbo" chair my Mom got - worked great for her and other kids enjoyed it too! Since then she can sit up on her own.


Sarah, meeting her GG Willy for the first time, so precious...


4 generations!


Sarah and her Great Aunt Katie


Sarah and her Great Aunt Peggy (Who just became an Oma to Isliana Mae!)


Sarah sitting with Gramma Kathy and meeting Great Grandma Anne for the first time


Aubrey's son Zach (2) making a move on my girl!


Best Buds and their babes!


I never thought I would see this, yes this is Loretta pregnant!! (I actually teared up when I saw her, she is so beautiful and will be the sweetest Mom and of course Ted will be an amazing Dad). Is she not the cutest pregnant lady - dying!! She is such a trooper, it was over 100 degrees at her shower and she was still smiling and having a good time - puffy feet and all!
Oh and in this picture we were doing the string around the belly game - I'm not kidding, her 8 month pregnant belly is just as big as my waist! A sad moment, but I have to remember that she is Chinese, around 100 pounds and I am not!


Sarah met her Uncle Jeff for the first time, of course she loved him, what girl doesn't! I promised her that Uncle Jeff will be the person to buy her all the designer purses she ever wanted!


Sarah hanging out with her cousins Sam and Ben - who are ever so doting over her! So cute!


Sarah met Uncle Evan and Auntie Erin for the first time, the last time they "saw" her she was in my belly, while we camped last summer.


Evan and Erin's cutie pie - Emilie (22 months)


Sarah got to meet Aidan (who is showing us in this picture that he is 3) and Nadia (5 years). The last time we saw them was also camping while pregnant with Sarah, last summer! They are the cutest kids! And does anybody know how Aidan got to be so big - he is the biggest kid and his parents...umm..if you know them...not so big! Carmen did mention a mailman... hmmm, if it weren't for the striking resemblance of his father's facial features, I would believe that!



As with all children we know, Papa Don can get them to smile and laugh!


We also got to meet Julie and Jeremy's newest baby - Natalie (6 weeks at our visit and a doll) - but I don't have a picture to load onto the blog, will work on that! I of course teared up when Julie's son Blake (3) started to kiss and pat Sarah when she was crying! He is the sweetest big brother, and I was seriously missing my boy!

A special thanks to my Mom and Don for a wonderful trip! I don't know when we will be able to fly the whole family down to California, so it was nice to get to see everyone, even if it was so quick!
Missing all of our friends and having to constantly remind myself and Mark why we love Portland! Here are a few of the reminders:
