Cambria

When we left LA last Friday we drove straight to Cambria for the weekend.  It was so nice to have a cool, beautiful weekend together as a family.

Jacob didn't have a crib to sleep in the first night and he was SO tired.

Ben and I had a little date to Sea Chest one night.

Jacob was having a hard time sitting still in Church.

The elephant seals are my favorite animal, and we had to take Jacob to see them for the first time while we were there.

Ben & I have a picture right here from our honeymoon.

I taught Jake the art of throwing rocks into the water on the same beach I've played on my whole life. It was quite the trip for me!  Unfortunately Jake can't throw very far, but he wants the rocks to land in the water . . so he lands in the water too.

One last walk on the ranch before we hit the road!

Anaheim Vacation House

The weekend after Ben graduated, we rented a home in Anaheim with some of our very best friends - the Dorffs and the Muirs.  Jake was one of 4 children under the age of 3 and he had a total blast!  The adults did, too.

It may appear that Jake slept in our bed with us, but the house was so large that he had his own master bedroom the whole weekend! 

We loved the pool in the backyard!

I thinking eating dinner together at a big table full of fun is basically a dream come true.

Lincoln was Jake's best buddy all weekend.

We were less than a half-mile from Disneyland so we watched the fireworks from the front lawn each night.  Not quite as magical . . but still awesome.  ;)

We spent Saturday at Crescent Bay in Laguna Beach . . Jake had a BLAST!

And that night we went to Downtown Disney for a fun dinner!

It was our SIXTH anniversary so Ben got a flower bouquet from the balloon animal lady.

Master of Business, Ben Myers

We did it!  Ben did it!  We did it!

Ben's graduation ceremony was nice and long . . it really was nice . . but it was also long!  And poor Jakey had a terrible rash AND an ear infection!  He's such a trooper.

It was so nice of my family to drive down to LA for the ceremony, and then to have Ben's parents in town for several days afterwards!
