Long Beach Aquarium

Let me start off with, I know what it will be like to have TWO kids!! My sister Mia had to work, so we decided to take Aiden with us! Well before leaving the house, if one boy started crying (Nick or Aiden) ...the other one soon started lol It gave me some insight as to what being a Mom of 2 will be like one day!

So my Dad, Mom, Me, Nick, Aiden, Elise and Janette all got ready and headed to LB for the day! Oh what fun did we have! We took so many cute pics. its going to be hard not posting ALL of them!

{but don't worry, I won't lol}

My FAVORITE South Africans!

I was soooo excited to know I would be visiting CA while my old roommates and one of my best friends Mom and Sister were visiting from SOUTH AFRICA!!! I was lucky enough to see them more than once while I was in town, however we only did photos one day!

(we go EVERYTIME I am in town!)

Pics at MY Moms before we left to eat

It was so great to finally meet them and for Luisa to spend time showing her family the USA! I'm hoping one of these times I can make a trip to SA with Luisa! (and RaShell you are coming too!) How FUN would that be!!!

Sister Night Out!

This trip I had soooo much FUN with my sister Mia! We had a lot of fun with our little boys and all the places we went! She even cut my hair for me! It was sooo long and driving me nuts ...she is the BEST hair dresser and I am so thankful she always does my hair for me :)

Growing up we would always watch the Dark Shadow's series ...so as soon as we heard they were making a movie, we both knew we HAD to go see it together! And perfect timing, it was going to be out while I was in CA!!! So one night, Mom and Dad watched our boys so we could go and see it! The previews made it seem like it was going to be a cheesy comedy so we didn't go in with high expectations ...surprisingly, it was much better than we had expected! They must have used all the cheesy stuff for the previews/trailers lol

After the movie, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and just hung out at our parents talking for a bit! It was so fun to just sit around talking. She is an amazing Sister, Aunt, Mom, and Friend! I am so lucky to call her MY sister!

Mia and I

This has to be one of my FAVORITE pics of her!

Until next time I see you Mia :)

BBQ

We decided to have a last minute BBQ at my parents one night and it turned out to be sooo much fun!! I have so much fun with these girls and their kids that for the first time since I have lived in MA, it was VERY hard to leave :( But I also missed Kris and was glad when we got home :)

Again, a ton of pics, so here are a few:
