Weekend Fun




















My mom surprised Natalie for her Birthday a ticket to California. My other sister Candice also added to the surprise by coming too. What a treat it was, we had a great time.





Megan was one of my favorite guests for Natalies Birthday Brunch.








We went to L.A and stopped at Marc By Marc and got matching necklaces.



Collin was quite the lady at our girls brunch.




Our shoffer the whole trip. Love ya babe!




We went to 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica and shopped a little. What we really enjoyed was the entertainment. A father and son were doing the coolest stunts..( see Nans blog for those)




Willie and I had to take my sisters to our favorite place in L.A, Al Cove. We went here way to much our first 2 years of Dental School.



Please look at Myles going for the cake.




I love a good action shot. so Bay Watch.




This kid LOVES the beach









Watching Dad Surf is the only way Myles would stand still.







Aunt Candy Ann



Dinner at Javier's with just the girls devouring the yum fried ice cream




























In the kitch with Donna







I'm so glad my sister had a Birthday that seemed like mine. I loved having my sisters come out. BIG shout out to my Mom for babysitting her kids. I might need to starve myself next week after all the food we ate but it was well worth it. Lets do it again when I turn 30 or hey 27 is a big one too...right??

I forget all pictures are fair game for the blog. Thanks for the wonderful weekend! You are the bestest hostess and modern pioneer woman I know! xoxo

For heaven's sake...what was the non-family member thinking that day? Horrible outfit combo...ATROCIOUS hair....and my 2year old looks like a complete rag-a-muffin. It sure was a fun time but remind me to get a make-over next time I'm with you and your family! YIKES!
Oh the Beach in January...wasn't it a dreamy weather weekend?!

Melanie said...

First off, i about died when I read your comment about the keys!! Rob still is mad I told you his secret and still believes Willie thinks he is crazy. Secondly...looks like you guys had so much fun!!! Rach, you always have been so fun to be around. NO wonder they would want to come visit you and celebrate a birthday!

How long do you think you'll live down there? We might be moving there pretty soon...! And how weird that you are in the same ward as Kari Armstrong and Natalie Reeves..I've known both of them since I was little!

Natalie Hall said...

It makes me sad that the fun ended.....

Rach, you are an ANGEL.. I will never froget about every moment you made perfect from the time I landed until I departed.

Back to reality I guess, but I feel rejuvenated with full force! Every mother needs the escape to CALI....

Love ya!

K I love knowing the background story of your adoreable party was that you were carting the party supplies uphill in a stroller with Myles wimpering to you that he was cewld! Well it didn't show because you would have guessed Martha Stewart was hired out for that party. Oh Rachey Roo you are so domesticated! Your going to need to get business cards.
