We made it to San Diego...

We have been in San Diego for about a month now and absolutely LOVE IT!  Besides the amazing weather (who heard of shorts in January), there is so much to do...
I have finally downloaded all of the pics from our camera (and found some from xmas too)...so thought I would throw them in:)  

Time to see Santa...
NOTE: Ryan and I were not planning to be in the picture...but the kids had other plans.
Quinn showed what she really thought of the photo shoot.


Getting ready for Santa


Santa came...good thing he used his GPS to find us...because from the looks of our tree (house plant), he would have flown right past our house.

Q got her favorite princess doll (Jasmine)

...and a cape

Hmmmm...who liked it better?!?!?


We went to Grammy and Papa's house later Xmas morning.

Quinn loves her newest cousin, Julian

Greenbay fan...like his Papa.

Making use of Quinn's new stroller.


Packing up for our move...(good thing we have a big car)...

apparently, our car isn't big enough...we had to get a UHAUL trailer... 

...for the kids


the morning we left:(

(wondering if Ryan will notice this picture I snuck into the post)...
Senior Photos~Hello white denim...

Shana (Quinn's baby) made the trip with us...


A pit stop to Target to get portable DVD players-
thank you Alvin and the Chipmunks for entertaining the kids the entire trip!

Oregon...so gorgeous!!!

Fine dining at one of our million stops...Pizza...AGAIN!

Daddy's helpers getting the 4,000lbs of luggage we brought into the hotel room every night...

1,340 miles landed us at our new home for the next 7 months.

Look mommy...we have a porch swing.

...and a back yard...

...and a lounge chair 
and a mirror...(ok, too far?)

Toys...(why we really needed that UHAUL)

We had a fantastic dinner with family from my side.  Auntie Barbara, my 2nd cousin Jonathan, my second cousin once removed Mark, and his girlfriend, Adriana (who makes the best salsa in CA)!!! 

Quinn LOVES Auntie Barbara!


One of many dress up sessions for Reid.

Snuggle time with baby and Elmo...

Reunion with one of my besties, Marlena (and her 3 kids)

Went to Balboa park for museum and a picnic...



first date...(funds are low)


2nd date...(I think she likes him)

Best invention (babysitter) EVER!!!! An enclosed trampoline!...they look like they are smiling, but they are all crying to get out...

Im shy...

Giving babies some fresh air...


What do you think happened next...
1. Quinn climbed on the table and balanced on the top of the tower for 20 minutes
2. Reid started dancing Gangnam style
3. The entire tower fell and one of the wooden blocks hit Reid in the eye...(mom of the year)

Grammy and Papa came to visit...




Reid learned to "Cheers"

Ryan and my first date in San Diego...a tour of the USS Midway...
Very impressive...


Our ride to the museum....
