These are out of order but, can I just tell you what an amazing few weeks we have had. Carlsbad was so incredible that we decided to go back in a few weeks! We went to Legoland, the zoo, and Sea World. We had dinner with the Burkes and also had a pool day with the Burkes and some other friends. Life was good in San Diego County! When we came home, my aunts came into town. It was SO nice to have them here. I adore them and love nothing more than having family around me. Although Aunt Donna arrived 2 days late, we still got a little bit of time with her before Brian and I went out of town for our anniversary. We spent 2 nights in Santa Barbara. I slept almost 12 hours both nights, and took a nap the first day.
This was our last night in Santa Barbara at San Ysidro Inn. BEAUTIFUL.
Me and the bump.
My Prince Charming.
My Aunt Chi Chi. Both boys can say her name now and both of them LOVE her. She is so good with the boys - both of them. Hunter loved snuggling on the ground (or anywhere) with her.
And Landon wanted to be a part of it. How adorable is he?!
Me and my aunts went out to dinner on Thursday night before they left Friday morning. We had so much fun sitting and talking (and then eating Yogurtland). No one has better family than I do!
Our amazing babysitter, Rachel. She actually drove down to spend the day with us at Legoland just because. How awesome is that?!
He loves her.
And Elder McCulloch, our favorite Missionary, was transferred. Hunter was SO sad to say goodbye. He loved Elder McCulloch. Now he's in Watts. So sad.
Girls have cooties (missionaries aren't allowed to hug females).
A real picture of the 3 of us. We'll miss him so much!

How cute is this face?
James, one of our adorable friends. jumping off the ricks and into the pool
Hunter, Landon and Andrew in the water. Hunter is officially a swimmer. He's WAY too good in the water and can jump off the side and swim across the pool to me. Amazing.
Picnic time with his buddy!
And eating ice cream sandwiches
London bridges falling down! Hunter got stuck in the London bridge. William is a GREAT big brother to Andrew and to Hunter.
In Calrsbad, in the baby pool. This lasted about 10 seconds before they hopped into the big pool. Landon is swimming now too. He doesn't swim alone, like Hunter does, but
How cute is this face?!
His favorite game was to load and unload the drawers and cabinets with his blankets and pillows. We actually left the pillow there and had to go back (after checking out) and get back into the room to find it. It was quite an adventure but the pillow could NOT be left behind!
The boys, waiting for dinner.
We took the train down to San Diego and went for a walk and the Ghirardelli ice cream scoop shop. The boys LOVED the train!
Landon was a man on a mission.
Yummy. Ghirardelli. One of my favorite places ever.
We got 2 date nights while we were down there. This was before one of them. Super cute family shot.
Me and the hubs.

Wet time at Legoland. This is the best park for kids under 7. It was AMAZING.
At the hotel there was this creepy gold statue. Keagan, Hunter and Kai were so fascinated. Then we took the shuttle up to the resort pool and hung out.

She was nervous about him getting in the pool, but he's doing great!

How much does Chi Chi love Hunter? And vice versa. You can see the love on their faces.

So nice. Chi Chi took Landon at a restaurant so I could sit with Hunter. It was so nice to get to sit with my big boys!

Aunt Donna and the swimmer.
Running defense against the ocean. Guess who won? Hunter loved the water and Landon thought it was way too cold and threw a fit. I wasn't there - I was in Santa Barbara with my love.
Aunt Donna with Hunter.
Landon loves cones!!
The boys love the sand. I guess I can't avoid the beach anymore. Hunter asked me today "Why don't you always take me to the ocean?" The answer: I never take them to the ocean because I'm so afraid they will both run for the water.
My big brothers.
Ready to go!
My aunts took pictures of us at the doctor's office. Landon had his 18 month check up. He is now 75th percentile for height and still 50th for weight. He had such a big growth spurt!
This is the Holly Glen (freezing) wading pool. The boys loved it though.
What is better than your baby sleeping on your chest? Sea World did this to him.
At Keagan's house for dinner. Look at those adorable boys.
Landon LOVES big boy cups.
And slides.
These last 2 weeks were awesome. I've had so much fun with my family. San Diego was incredible - Sea World, Legoland and the Zoo were so much fun with kids this age. The pool was REALLY fun too! Coming home to my aunts was the best possible homecoming. It is so hard to get back into the swing of things when you're used to having buddies with you. I'm SUPER thankful for having my aunts in town. They are the best thing ever! I can't wait to see them again soon.

all that in TWO weeks? Amazing! :) And maybe I need to give Legoland another chance...
What a fun two weeks you had! And the boys are getting SO big. I can't believe Hunter is swimming by himself now! Cant wait to see you guys in 4 months.
