Newport Beach 2009

This past week we went to California with Mike's family and had a BLAST! We spent the week relaxing on the beach. Building sandcastles. Celebrating birthdays. Playing at the park. Shopping the sales. Walking around the temple. Goofing off with our favorite aunts and uncles. Getting our thrills at Knotts Berry Farm. Meeting Chad Jr. for the first time. And seeing Kyle and Kelsey get engaged! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation away from the everyday grind.

Tate was always willing to give me a smile.

Brody was always ready to show off his big muscles!
