6/15 /09- 6/19/09: OK, so where to begin. We just got back from spending a week in CA. We had a great time seeing everyone. The week was hectic and crazy and we were on the go the whole time. Sorry to anyone that we missed. We will catch you on the next trip. We started out at Jenny & Kevin'f first. We spent the night there and the kids had a great slumber party too. We BBQ'd and the kids swam and we spent some great quality time with the Pimentel side of the family. Sunday night the kids had a sleep over at Grandma Nancy's house. They always love that.

Then Monday we went to Courtney's house to see them and mainly her new baby, Bryndle Grace. She is so cute. I was waiting so anxiously to meet her for the first time. Lauren played with Brittyn all day. While we were there with all the girls, Justin had a play date with his friend Caleb. That is his BFF from CA. He had lots of fun and was so happy to see Caleb.

Tuesday, we just hung out around Marianne's house waiting for Jason to get off work. Kely came in with Waylon and we played and took the kids to lunch and Mc'Donalds. Then we went out to Oakley to spend some time with our neighbors, John & Jeana Crawford. We had dinner and the kids swam. Lots of fun. We really miss them!!!

Wednesday me & the kids went to Johnny's to play with Waylon again, and then I took the kids over to Grandma Nancy's house for a sleep over. I came home and Jason & I enjoyed a nice quiet night alone at home.

Thursday, Jason and I got up early and had to take my car in to Union City....YUCK!!!! That sucked!!! Anyway, I had to take my car to get the DVD players fixed. So then I went back to Marianne's house to clean up and do some laundry. They were coming home from their camping trip. The kids were so excited to see them. So of course they wanted to spend the night there. So Jason and I got another night to ourselves. We caught up on some over do sleep. We stayed in a hotel for Thursday & Friday night. I went back to Mare's to pick up her and the kids, and brought them back to the hotel to swim fo a little bit before the BBQ we went to at Ben & Sarah's house.

At the BBQ we got to see several of our friends and their kids/babies. It was so good to see everyone. Thank you Ben & Sarah for hosting the BBQ at your house and for making such a yummy meal.

We woke up early (4:00 am) to leave to drive home on Saturday morning. The kids and I slept until Sparks, NV. We were OUT!!!!

We got breakfast and then were back on the road. JP got a speeding ticket!!! Not too bad though, and the Highway Patrolman was very nice and gave us a little break. We then stopped in Jordan Valley at this cute little place called "The Rockhouse". It is a Espresso, ice cream, drinks, gift/book store. It was a nice quick potty break and a yummy ice cream cone break too. We rolled into Meridian at about 3:00.

It was a great trip and we hope we can make another one soon.
