I miss this. I miss reminiscing and going over memories that - let's face it - i wouldn't remember if I didn't write it down. I used to pride myself on my memory, and J and I both swear that having kids has sucked that right out of me.
So, let's try to get back into this thing and see if I can get myself to stick with it for a while. We have had so many new memories, so many milestones, and lots and lots of pictures (because, that's just who I am), it would be impossible to even try to catch up with what we've done over the past year, so we'll start more recently.
A few weeks ago, mid-May we went to Oceanside with the girls for a week. We got to spend time with J's parents, and have some MUCH needed family time - away from work, school, the HEAT, and just about every stress that we deal with on the daily. It. Was. Perfect.
We spent every day on the beach, right outside our hotel. We got to make sand castles, walk the pier, go swimming at the hotel, eat at some of the most delish restaurants, visit the Old Mormon Battalion, and spend every waking second together. SO nice! My absolute favorite part was simply knowing that Jamison wasn't going to have to leave at any moment - he was all ours! *sigh* Heaven. I'm trying to convince him that this needs to be an annual thing - if not a seasonal thing. ha.
If it's possible, I've become even more obsessed than before with picture taking and capturing memories...so here is about a million pictures of our trip. The best time! I can't wait to do this again.

 .Emma asked every hour, maybe 5 times each hour if we were at the beach yet.
    .at this point my girl just wanted to be down in the sand already.        .     .the girls favorite spot. all day, everyday.           .day 2, watching and listening to the train outside the resort.      .this was another favorite spot of the girls', staring at the beach from our balcony.                      .love this face. a little boy walked up to K and hugged her and she immediately pushed him away and said, "no, no, no!" and then gave him this look. love it.           .Emma had to collect new seashells every day, and if you ask her about the trip she'll offer a thousand times to show you her seashell collection....honest, she will.     .Emma says this is a sketch of her with a heart next to her head, SUCH the artist.     .this girl gets all the heart eyes, love love love her.         .Mormon Batallion: Emma got to get all dressed up.  .and then find and keep a couple of gold pieces.     .best mexican restaurant near the Batallion. It was SO good!   .Emma asked me to take a picture of her food...i'm rubbing off on her too much.        .that hair :/...every single day as soon as I hit the beach that frizz came out, ugh.           .J and Emma spent a few days just perfecting the art of sand castle building.  .more swim sessions, because that's what these two LIVE for.             |
