San Diego

We went for a week with Jon's family to the beautiful (and quite chilly!) San Diego in the middle of June and it was AWESOME! I have flown with Hensley quite a few times, but never with anyone else, so this was so much easier going with a troop of people! She did great on the flight there and was quite fabulous most of the trip, considering we JUST hit the toddler age where she wants to do what she wants to do. Yikes!
We practiced for weeks on Hensley's Cabbage Patch baby doll how to gently behave with a baby since she was meeting her baby cousin, Parker on this trip. He was such a sweet, calm little boy and Hensley instantly fell in love with him, as did Jon and I! We were so lucky that we got to meet him while he was still in the newborn window.



We all went to see the fabulous San Diego Zoo and it was quite amazing! Beautiful weather and lovely company!
 Hensley and baby Parker had matching outfits for the Zoo (thanks Grammie and Bee!)





 Sorry, Grammie. I had to put this picture, because it was one of my favorite memories from this trip! :) Bee actually got a wee bit stuck and it was super funny seeing their heads pop up!


 Loved getting to watch Bryan loving on his baby boy...and love the shades too!
 This trip really got Missy attached to her Bee. Oh boy, they would play! It is really precious to watch her being loved on by him. This giant man can be such a teddy bear!!



Such a fun day!!

On Tuesday of our trip, my Nana and Papa made the LONG drive from Lompoc to come meet Hensley! It was so good seeing them. I don't see them nearly enough and wish we lived closer so I could see their faces more often. Jon was playing at Torrey Pines with his Dad and Bryan that morning, so it was just us that afternoon and then we met up again for dinner that night all together. I love, LOVE, LOVE my grandparents!!





 This is a favorite picture of mine. She has gotten a little more hesitant around males, but Papa won her heart soon!
 Nana had a sweet game with Hensley, and the giggles between the two of them were adorable!
Thank you so much for coming to see us and for making sweet memories with our Hensley! xoxo

We spent lots of time relaxing in the condo, went to an Aquarium with Grammie and Bee, toured the U.S.S. Midway, the girls had a spa day (woo hoo), saw seal pups at La Jolla beach (and Abby almost got swept into the ocean that day...), had many yummy dinners out and went to the beach to take family pictures. Whew!


 Love my sisters!
 Hensley was super cold, but I adore this picture with her baby Parker and Grammie and Bee.




 Love this family! I had so many pictures, that I am going to have to do another posting with the rest of the pictures later...sorry!
