We we-ent we-ent back back to Cali Cali

We just got back from our fun trip to CA on Tuesday night. It was a blast. Wish we could have stayed longer! Lisa's been bugging me to see pics, so I'm posting WAY MORE than most of you care to see. Here ya go, Weesie woo.

These first pics are from an afternoon at the park with Lindsey (thanks for getting Sam to smile in these!), Nate, and Jake.









We also celebrated Sam's official 18 month birthday. All about half birthdays in this family. We frosted the cake and put sprinkles on half of it. Funny enough, that's all Sam ate. Can you believe that? And at his 1 year old bday party, he was only interested in melted ice cream!



The day before, we went to Chuck E Cheese for an additional half birthday celebration. (Any excuse to go to Chuck's, right?) Sam wasn't so sure of that place for a little while, but he caught on. Nate, Jake, and I opted for the star shades as our prizes. Don't we look so tough?











Lastly, a pic of the boys striking a pose and of Sam in the place where he wanted to be all the time - the backyard playing with balls or pushing Lindsey's old stroller.
