Lily's Baptism and Zuma Beach

This is the first of a few catch-up posts. The said posts will be of a few fun things we enjoyed, in no particular order, since I last updated. After a couple of missed posts I got overwhelmed and simply did nothing about it. Hopefully this will get me going again. First, our trip to SoCal. We went down for Lily’s baptism. Unfortunately, our camera decided to quit working before we could get pictures with Wade (Tyler’s brother), Merideth and their children, Lily, Taylor, Luke and Crew, and I was thus unable to document what a wonderful time we had them. These are cousins my kids love and constantly ask why the just can’t move to Nevada. Thanks Wade and Merideth for a great weekend.

The camera did work on the first day and immortalized a family favorite, the beach. Zuma beach to be exact. A favorite of cousin Hunter and now one of ours.

I’m more of a sit-on-the-beach-and-enjoy-the-sun-and-the-atmosphere kind of girl and Olivia seems to take partly after me. The two of us had some quality conversations and lots of giggles.

This is the only picture where I could get Henry to stop long enough to pose. He stopped moving for something like 2 seconds. He takes after his father. The beach is a magical place. While there, Olivia and Henry simply enjoyed each other’s company, there was no bickering, no name calling, just peace and laughs. I was in heaven. We were all in heaven.
