Catch you all up

So according to complaints, apparently it's not okay to blog every 3-4 months! Ok, whiners, here you go! = )

So instead of going to Washington for Christmas or new years because Carson couldn't get time off(busy season) We decided to stay here and do touristy stuff. We went to the Santa Monica pier. It's the pier that's in all the movies and songs etc... It was SO much fun!
This is the view from the top of the Ferris Wheel. The view was incredible!
They had all kinds of rides and restaurants. They had face painting, arcades, and the 2 things we did were a sculpture of the girls' faces and the art where they make pictures into the letters of your name. That's the best I can describe it. Here are some pictures.


This is the girls trying to hold so still for the guy!







Here we are on the ferris wheel. It was an incredible view from the top in all directions!










I didn't realize that the Santa Monica Pier was the end of Route 66. That was fun to learn about!



We spent the night in LA and the next morning we went from Newport beach on a tiny little ferry to Balboa Island. The ferry held 3 cars max. and about 15 people seated around them. So CUTE!




and went on a whale watching boat tour. It was SO fun. We didn't actually see any whales, but tons of Dolphins and Sea Lions. It was really fun.




Both girls had a blast!

On the way home we passed through the city of "Carson"and there was a sign of Carson St. We had to take a picture!

Here are some fun pictures for you! Laynee was about 8 months old. Maddi is 7.




If Maddi had her way we would always be like this!

Laynee's new favorite place to play. She screams if you take her out!



This is in a Costco bin of pillows!


So I will give you more pics soon, but here are some to tide you over for now.

I hate that my blog list doesn't tell me when you update your blog! Ugh... So sorry this is late, but thanks for the update! I feel like I don't even know your little baby anymore! When do we get to see you???
