Cards and Ice Cream

October 9, 2010 - 

It wouldn't be a White Family trip to California if we didn't play games at some point. So we finally busted out the phase ten deck and played in the McDonalds with our 79 cent Cokes. Since we had Cokes Marley needed an ice cream... which she then preceded to get all over herself.

 Rowynne was helping Nana with her cards... and by helping I mean eating! 

 Marley got her ice cream pretty much everywhere.  It was funny because she couldn't get it to her mouth without it touching her nose. Hence the messy face. 

 My chubby cheeks girl!

I Love You Cherry Much!

Rowynne was a little pooped after she literally pooped all over me.  She looks so exhausted! 

I love her Cherry Much! 

Music Class

October 5, 2010 - 

My mom teaches a music class at one of the elementary schools, so Rowynne and I went to go watch Nana work. It was fun to see Nana in action, plus all the kids had heard about Rowynne so they were all exited to see her. I hope we weren't too much of a distraction!

 Mommy and Rowynne

 Cutie pie Rowynne she loved watching the kids sing.

 She was kicking and laughing the whole time until she fell asleep. 

 Daddy's Under My Spell..... So true!

Rock Band

October 4, 2010 - 

Rowynne and I went over to Gillian's house to visit, and the girls all decided they wanted to ROCK OUT!  Rowynne was dancing, Marley and Alley were on Guitar and Malia had the drums. They are so fun!

 The Band

 Rowynne was the vocals..... or maybe she is just hungry? 

 Hugs.... 

She looks so mischievous.... Gillian has her work cut out for her! 

McDonalds.... and Rain

October 4, 2010 - 

Well since it rained for the first few days we were in California, we had to break out the long sleeves and  head to McDonalds for some play time in the balls. Thats what rainy days are for right.... A coke and a cherry pie!

Party in Nana's bed!

October 4, 2010 - 

When I woke up this morning there seemed to be a few extra people in the bed.

 Marley, Gillian, Tarren, Rowynne, and Me were all jammed into Nana's queen bed. 

Such a fun way to wake up! This bunch is a little wacky!

The Beach.... Of Course!

October 3, 2010 - 

We went to the Beach! Of course we did, it's one of the musts when we go to California. At this time not only did we do the beach but we even had a bonfire which we haven't done in forever. It was a perfect day to do it since the beach was overcast, the fire provided just enough warmth to keep toasty! It was great to visit, Autumn's family was in town from Hawaii and even Denise's sister Kim and her daughter Cody were here from Napa. It was like a big family reunion. 

 Everyone talks about this kids leg rolls.... I guess they are pretty big but so darn cute! 

I love chubby babies!

 Rowynne and Marley.... Hanging out! 

 Jack and Rowynne.... Jack is Autumn's youngest. He is only a month younger than Rowynne. I wish they lived closer than Hawaii so they could be pals like Autumn and I were growing up. 

 Marley saw the babies on the ground and had to join them. Possibly smashing them in the process. 

 Such silly kids.... 

 Autumn and Baby Jack

 Marley wanted to dance with Rowynne... Just normal cousin stuff! 

 This picture just makes me laugh... she looks like such a chunker!  

I swear in person she doesn't look this big. 

 Sandwich kiss with Auntie Gillian and Cousin Marley.... Poor Rowynne !

 Playing in the Sand... By the time we left the beach every body part Marley has was covered in sand! I'm sure she ate quite a bit that day. 

 Grandpa and Rowynne..... 

 Gillian and Marley.... After he shower which she wasn't too happy about. But who could blame her that water was freezing.

 My cute baby girl..... 5 months!  

Everyone kept saying she looks just like Cory. What do you think? 

 All three babies fell asleep while we were at the beach. 

We just kept adding them to the pile as they passed out! So precious. 

 My dad was in charge of the smores. Well he forgot the graham crackers and only could find crunch bars. So we put our crunch bars inside our toasted marshmallows. It actually was super good, better than a regular smore. 

 Gillian and Autumn 

Gillian and Marley - Autumn and Jack - Meygen and Rowynne

It's weird that we all are grown up now with our own kids. It seems just like yesterday we were 12 running around the beach giggling and having a blast. Time sure does fly! 

Gotta love the Beach.... even if its an overcast one!
