We had some visitors & the hotel starts

We had some fun visitors joins us. Grace, Stacy and a friend Carli. Grace and Carli are 5. It was very interesting to see them interact together.

All the cousins and friends enjoyed Popsicle together. When the little boys came out the door was closed to lock them out until they were down.

The day after they came we headed to Disneyland. Cane you believe those 5 year old girls could ride and they were brace enough to be in front! Check out their faces!

Grace always grabs her Mom's face for a picture.

After Space Mountain the first ride which we ran to my hair looked a mess. We headed over to Matterhorn. Another ride to add to the mess.

I guess Disneyland won't be anything with out small world...

We aren't sure if Grace liked it or not though.

Somewhere between Small World and this big boat we made our way to Toone Town. In Toone TOwn they have a bunch of places for the kids to run around, a house and a boat. Three girls ran in to the house together, Ashlynn, Grace, and Carli. We HAPPENED to see Ashlynn (3 year old) run out from another side. She had gotten seperated from the girls and came out to look for her Mom. I say we happened to see her because it was St. Patricks Day and there were a ton of people there. We then realized the other girls might not know where we were. I ran in to look for them and Stacy ran to the other side. I get to the top to look out and all I see are people wearing green. I was looking for Stacy, notice what color she is wearing...green. I couldn't see her anywhere. We found them and they didn't know they were lost.

Next up was the big boat. We talked the girls into going on the White Boat instead of the Pirate one and when we got on a lady asked me if we wanted to head to  the top and drive the boat! Of course I said! We hiked up to the 4th level and the girls got to steer and blow the horns and ring the bell. They loved it and were so happy they went with our recommendation. (Us too, we would have been there longer)

Classic.

On the way out I saw Belle, I rush Grace over there and told her to hug. I know how those princesses work, you have to throw your self at them if they are going to stop.

This is my favorite shot of they day. I love my Grace girl, I think we have a special bond.

Bolsa Chica Birds

Every once in a while Matt gets a strong urge to go see the birds at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. I try to fight it all the time, but he loves it. It's only a f ew miles from our house so I guess going there and enjoying nature isn't so bad. I always complain about the smell and the temperature.

Matt jokes that I'm too hot if it is 76 degrees and too cold if it is 74. I guess I'm just a California girl now.

We usually go on Sunday's. It's never crowded but there are always a few people taking pictures of the birds or watching them through the binoculars.  I think its boring but I know some people love it.

Westin is only half good at holding our hands, but if we throw in the 1-2-3 WEEEEEE then he loves it. (That is the part I hate)

Its much nicer when Westin will get on his Dad's shoulders. We can get around much quicker. I think will be like his Dad, he loves it. It could be the combination of he can says birds and he loves to be outside.

Beach with our Friends

Back in March, March 12 I think. We went to Emerald Bay with some friends of ours who were in town for a wedding the night before (which we also attended)

We were the first ones to show up at the beach and enjoyed it all to ourselves. I guess besides the people who were playing volleyball, but they don't count. 

Emerald Bay was gorgeous. The community has its own entrance to a beautiful and quiet beach.

You can't exactly tell but Westin was furious I was holding him, all he wanted was his Dad.

We bringa  ball everywhere we go. I'm pretty sure I always tell you this but when I say its time to go Westin will grab a ball and head for the door.

The perfect playground is one on the beach. Seriously, you can't beat that weather and if you get hot go jump in the ocean!

I think Matt was showing Westin how to do the splits, usually Westin does whatever his ad does but he wasn't convinced it was a good idea.

Westin couldn't have been happier with the ball and the slide.

Westin has gone through a lot of phases with slides. Loves them, hates them, and he is back to loving them again. He might have hated them at one time because I pushed him down a really tall tunnel one that he didn't want to do. Oops!

When the rest of the group showed up they quickly picked up how to get Westin to like you. Give him a ball and he will be your bestie.

Matt always likes to show off Westin's skills. He really is fantastic at making baskets. He has other tricks that he will only do for us. This particular time was to show how great his aim is. Westin would shoot a rock into the green bucket and make it. Matt would move it farther back and he would still make it. The kid has crazy aim.

The whole group, besides Tom and his fiance.

This other cute little boy is Zac. These boys are a few days apart and they weren't really interested in playing with each other. Maybe next time.

There is Matt, and one of his oldest (longest) Friends Jake. (Jake is not the father of Zac) Whenever Matt and Jake get together I see a whole other side to Matt. These two come up with the craziest games.

Later that night some of the group came over, we got some dessert and food I think (I don't remember) Westin stayed up past 10 if I remember correctly playing basketball. He was making some crazy shots. None of the pictures I took turned out so great. Hopefully Rachel got come cute ones.

Days at Home

Days at home happen a lot, Westin enjoys planing inside and out.

I think this picture is hilarious. I must have just caught it at a bad moment.

We always have to  play basketball. It has become a daily routine.

All of these pictures were taken back in March.

Most of my pictures have been really blurry, I think we have fixed the problem.

Park Day

Park seems to be the same every time we go.

We bring a ball or three to share.

Then we play basketball with our friends

Share our ball with our friends

Ask our friends to push us.

Go up the slide and down the stairs, no matter how many times I tell him its wrong he still does it. He'll learn his lesson when someone comes down and hits him.

Back to playing with the ball. (Someone else's ball)

Laugh at our silly friends.

Then we head home, eat lunch and hide behind the couch.

We never forget to peek over the back.

Park day is every Tuesday, we usually walk there with other friends. Westin mostly wants to shoot the basketball but he is becoming more interested in running around. He still is one of the younger kids out there and he looks pretty small compared to everyone else.
This particular day Westin dressed like his Grandpa Bair. For some reason after I got him dressed I couldn't help but think of my Dad. The striped shirt, jeans ans tennis shoes just sold it.

Ping Pong

Westin is quite the rock star when it comes to being able to make baskets and throw a ball. His move he pulls out on the ping pong table is awesome. Watch just after someone walks in front of the camera.

This video was taken back in December so he was 16 months old, he is now 20 months.

I wish I had added this picture to the post about Laguna Beach, he was plain old tuckered by the time we got back to the car!

For Valentine's Day I sent this card out to our family. I got a lot of funny comments back,
"What is this a BYU add?"
"I thought you were going to announce you were pregnant!"
"He is so cute!"

The next pictures are the same ones from the card, in color. We really play basketball outside a lot. He has the most fun being out side and playing with a ball.

Disneyland again, in line for the Nemo ride. (not my favorite)

Westin is so great at giving hugs, he will send one anyone's way. My favorite is when he runs up to you with his arms open!

We have to help with Isaiah hugs because they usually end up falling down.

Westin's Grandma RaDean gave him this awesome little table. He mostly eats snacks on it but we love having it.

Westin will only watch Basketball or football. I was trying to cook dinner so I turned some on YouTube for him.

Its perfect for friends and play dates!

Some extra lovely pictures.
