More Fun in California

While we were in California and my parents were working we passed the time by seeing some of our favorite people.  We are so glad that Josh's grandparents live in California still so we can see them I go home, because the kids love them!

(P.S. Yes my son is in my underwear.  Apparently he got my "I get carsick when I try to read in the car" gene)

It worked out great that Josh's Aunt Jennifer was there for the weekend with her sons Jackson and Trent and that she stayed a few extra hours to see us. 

She was so good with the kids and they had fun playing hide and seek with her.

 Then when I realized that I was in the same state as my island friend Liz we set some plans rolling to meet up and I was so glad to see them!  Shane and Emmy spent the first chunk of their life together on the island.
This was the last time we saw them,

and now they're both 3!  They weren't best friends at first,

But Emmy wooed over Marissa,

and then she and Shane bonded

Here we are with our 2 kids each now, who knows where life will take us between now and the next time we see each other!

We also got to see my best bud Christie, who is always a hit with the kiddos.

And we made a little trip to my mom's school and Shane was in HEAVEN.  We walked in and he wanted to sit at a desk so we found an empty one for him and he read books and colored while the kids did their work.  Do you think he is going to love school or what?  Except he is convinced he will be riding a bus there ;)
