Vacation Time!

We took a spontaneous trip to California at the end of April into the first part of May.  Aaron's mom offered to let us use her time share and his sister Kara and her family decided they would come too and we could all drive together.  Then Lori decided she better not miss out so she booked another condo...then Shanna decided she should go too so it was almost an entire family vacation, we were only missing a few people. 
Emery was a champ on the way there.  She got fussy a few times during the week, (we had about an hour drive to and from Disneyland) but all around she was happy.  We spent a few days at the beach, 2 days at Disneyland, went to the Mormon battalion site, played in the pool at the condo, and spent a tiny bit of time doing nothing but sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun.

 Coronado Island.  It was a little chilly
 DISNEYLAND!!
 Yummy mexican right outside Disneyland.  Don't let Emery's smile fool you, she wasn't a very happy camper after 10 hours of Disneyland.

 oops I uploaded the wrong pic...emery hated the sand, I had a pic capturing said hate but accidentally got this one instead.
 We tried to give Em a bath after the beach but she was SO tired she just cried and cried so we got her out, strapped a diaper on her and let her crash in her caseat.

 Tuckered out.
 The whole gang
 This neck pillow was the envy of everyone in the car and was constantly fought over.


Easter











 I can't figure out how to rotate this picture :)
Emery's first Easter was pretty fun, she was just starting to take a few steps so the Easter egg hunt was cute.

swim lesson pics

Just a few pics of the last day of swimming lessons.  Grandma Cindy came to watch and got a few good shots. *Funny note-Emery HATED the pool when we were in California, even though she loved swim lessons so much.  Not sure why



 Tabi and Emery were holding hands in the this pic, it was way cute
