Cali

This was probably one of my favorite trips we have taken, and we didn't even have to go that far. Once again Jeff hooked us up with an amazing stay at a spectacular new resort.  A beautiful property off the coast of Newport Beach in Southern California, The Resort at Pelican Hill sits perched upon 504 acres of sun-drenched hillsides. We stayed in one of the Villas (which was a 4-bedroom villa with more square footage than my house!). The villa overlooked the ocean. It was amazing!  We truly were treated like the rich and famous. Little did they know we are not rich, and not famous... 

The moment we arrived they treated us so well. The kids had a cookie plate with their names on it, and also got a gift bag with their names on it. Included in the bag.. Note pad, pens, bubbles, and sand castle stuff.

Celine and Brynn enjoying their notepads 

I absolutely LOVE him! 

The gift bags kept the girls entertained the entire trip. 

Look at Mya's eye's... She couldn't be happier at this moment.

I was stoked when I saw the organic milk. 

The trip wouldn't have been complete without Ryan strutting his stuff in his wet suit. 

Celine and Brynn relaxing in the hot tub.

We spent an entire day at the pool. We had bungalows right in front of the kiddy pool. 

The big dorks brought laptops. They were pretty excited when they realized that each bungalow had a TV. Say hello to Sportscenter. 

On his phone working.. Oh well, at least I got a vacation out of it.

Whatcha looking for Liv??

Posing for the picture. Celine has it down. I think she was going for the Little Mermaid look.

We had a lot of fun with the Stotts.

I love this sweet face of Mya. 

Livia "What, I don't want to go".

She cried all the way home. 

Lori came with us and babysat. It was so nice of her, and it was nice to go on a date with my cute husband. We went to Javiers for dinner, and had to wait to go to the movies because I was falling asleep at the dinner table (Literally! I fell asleep at the dinner table!!). I don't know what happened but I was extremely tired.  I thought it was a good way to be able to go out the next night too. 

Shopping and eating.

The sun was setting, and it was freezing! We had to huddle just to keep warm.

The kids didn't care one bit that it was freezing. All they wanted to do was play in the water. I thought they were absolutely crazy, but they enjoyed themselves.
