Newport Beach and Kristen's House

Tuesday we all packed up and headed to the beach! I love, love, love the beach! It is definitely a place that makes me feel relaxed and refreshed. There is nothing better than sitting on the beach listening to the waves roll in and soaking up the sun. 

Nothing like some morning L.A. traffic to get the day started. =p

Me and Annie at the beach

Ethan was loving playing in the waves

Hunter and Megan having some fun in the waves

Kristin and her boys Andrew and Alexander. She and Chad are in the process of adopting two kids, and they couldn't be there with us today. We were bummed we didn't get to meet Christopher and Monica. 

Andrew and Annie

Annie Grandpa decided to play a little football with the kids

Andrew was not in the mood for joining in the big group picture

Me, Annie, and Stephanie went for dinner at In N Out once we got back to Steph's house, followed by the movie Bridesmaids where we enjoyed some side splitting hilarity. 

BJ's and Dodger's Game

Monday was a relaxing morning, and then we headed out for lunch at BJ's. I feel like I never get enough food while I'm in Cali, because there are so many really delicious food places here. 

Hunter ready for the baseball game later that night

After our yummy pizza, we got dessert, a pizzookie! 

Dodger Stadium 

The kids were excited to get Navarro's autograph. 

Mmmmm, my very first Dodger Dog

My ice cream came in a cute pink Dodgers hat

Michael's loaded Dodger Dog

Sabryn, Megan, Emily, Ethan, Scott

Dodger's oldest fan. 90 years old and he threw the first pitch

We had some pretty good seats along the 3rd baseline, and we were hoping that a fly ball would come our way, but no luck. Oh well. We had a great time at the game, and the Dodgers won!

Father's Day

Father's Day we went to brunch at a super delicious breakfast place. I had nutella crepes, but was wishing I would have gotten eggs benedict after I tried a bite of Annie's. 

Lacey, Annie, Me

After brunch, Me, Stephanie, Michael, Annie, Hunter and Sabryn watched Super 8. It was a very good movie, there were a few scary parts for Sabryn, but I think she ended up liking it in the end. 

For dinner we went to Bucca di Beppo's which is a yummy Italian restaurant. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Sabryn didn't come with us, because she wanted to sleep over at the neighbors. 

Ready for some killer food!

Michael, Stephanie, Annie, Me, Hunter
