California

I divided our California trip into three different posts. Here's the beginning of our trip, then Grandpa's party and then finally Pismo Beach.

We had such a good time, it was so great to see so many people we love and that love us back! I especially loved seeing my Grandpa with our girls, warmed my heart.

Grandpa's 90th

We had a great time celebrating with all the family for Grandpa's 90th birthday. We got to see so many people we (I) haven't seen in years. The only bad part about big gatherings like this is you don't get to visit with everyone long enough.

Emerson ready for the party

Uncle Ken and Carsen, I think this is one of my favorite photos

Isn't she just the cutest little thing?

Jenine, Carsen and I, I think this is one of the only photos I have with Jenine

Grandpa blowing out his candles, can you imagine if they had 90 different candles on that cake?

With Grandpa, Carsen is more interested in the floor and her shoes

Some of the kids, grandkids and great grandkids, if I had to name them all it would be a big FAIL

Aunti Mi and Carsen

Grandpa and some of his kids from left to right Noni, Mike, Booti, Joe, Punki, Hub, Rardi, Bitsy, Romi not pictured Patti, Marki and of course my mom

After the party, taking a rest

After the birthday party, everyone gathered at Aunti Mi's and Uncle Mike's

One tired girl

A whole lot of people

Two of my loves, I think by this time Emerson was wracked out on Aunti Mi and Uncle Mike's bed

Grandpa and I

Breakfast at Hodel's, they seriously had the best buffet I have ever been to

Uncle Romi, Jenine and her kiddos

Uncle Mike and Uncle Hub

Uncle Joe and Aunt Booti, Aunt Punki in the background taking my photo, she's so funny

Pismo Beach

While in California we took a drive to the coast, Pismo Beach is where we landed. Man oh man was it COLD!!! It was so gorgeous and sunny out, clear views, but oh so COLD!!

Those kids are CRAZY for getting even one toe in the water

Keihlin and Jackson (my cousins son)

Daddy with his girls, looks like he's using them as a wind blocker

The waves were huge, it would have been fun to play in, in the middle of summer

At lunch

I think she was mad because her pants were wet and she was cold

Aunt Punki stayed with Carsen in the restaurant while we went and explored the pier

Brad was trying to talk Emerson into throwing her paci over and saying goodbye, but it didn't happen

This kiteboarder was crazy good, but kind of crazy because it was so cold

My cousin Lisa, her husband Shawn and son Benjamin, they have a new baby due in July?
