not this cute anymore!The first weekend in August, we headed to the beach. When you're living in a hotel, you might as well travel on the weekends, no? We went to visit Aaron's brother, Brett and his cute wife Kate in sunny Californ-IA.
The boys had such a good time in the water. It was a little cold (compared to Hawaii ocean temperature) but everyone got in. A few waves toppled over Luke and I tried hard not to laugh (because it WASN'T funny.)
We had a great time playing in the sand. Each of our boys wanted to be buried and Zack lasted all of 2 seconds under the sand. He "didn't YIKE it berry much!"
Aaron and Brett helped the kids build an awesome sandcastle while Kate and I laid out on the beach. It was a great day... we always love playing with B&K! Just after we arrived home, Aaron and I quickly changed clothes and headed to Hollywood Blvd to see the Broadway show Wicked! It was a great night.
Note to self: If your husband says "work it" while you're posing with Michael Jackson's Hollywood star, that means he's looking down your blouse and he's gonna take a picture of your cleavage. I'm so glad I know how to Photoshop it out.. so I can keep my blog PG rated. If only I could really get good at editing and change my face to Cindy Crawford's.. but I don't actually want to look like a 40 year old. And I guess you wanna know why I still love MJ after his 400 face surgeries and child molestation accusations? Because his music rocks my world. so just beat it.
One of the best memories we have of this Cali trip was on the drive home (no, not the part when we drove 30 miles in the wrong direction.) We stopped for dinner at a yummy diner and while we were waiting for our food to arrive, we had an INTENSE starring contest. Aaron and Ben were the final two (big surprise.. they are both crazy competitors!) I honestly didn't think Ben could beat him because Aaron will never lose at anything. But, guess who won? That's right.. little Benny. Aaron's eyes were so dry after not blinking for so long that both of his contacts POPPED out of his eyes-- they both landed on the table at the same time and we could not stop laughing. He had to go out to the car and get contact solution to put them back in because they were shriveled up (and he couldn't see anything because he's blind.) Maybe it was one of those "you had to be there moments" but I wanted to write about it anyway.

Looks like a fun time! Love the staring contest : )
Sam
That is seriously funny! I almost can't believe it! Hysterical.
Fun trip.
You know you're a die hard MJ fan when you dedicate a week to listening to his music. We should have another one of those weeks...no? :)
tru dat, val. we should have an entire week dedicated to MJ, no kids, pedicures, and sleeping on twin mattresses pushed together to make a king size. When are you free? My schedule is pretty open.
So fun. I want to go to the beach! I can just picture Aaron's contact popping out. Way to go Ben!
I can totally see where your cleavage was...and from what I can 'tell', you should have been proud!
I get your Micheal Jackson adoration. His genious is Invincible.
Congrats on the new house.
Good times in Cali:) You guys have the best times to blog about!
I love staring contests. I lose though because I laugh too much:)
This is totally random, but in church today I heard three ladies talking about YOU. Not one of them know you personally, but they all read your blog faithfully (and all admitted they never comment even though they have been reading for months. WEIRD!) I guess I shouldn't be boggled by it because I know what a great writer you are and that you have a crazy following, but seriously GIRL!
And I must say how cool I felt to say that I actually knew you PERSONALLY! It was like one of my proudest blogging moments to say, "yeah, she calls me all the time! We go waaaay back." They asked why I am not linked to you on your friend list and I felt dumb- but that's only because I don't have a blog myself.
So, maybe for my birthday you can post a cute picture of the two of us and SHOW THEM how close we really are. That would really make my day! Ha! Love you, you famous girl, you.
I meant to say proudest "bragging" moments, not "blogging" moments- because I have yet to start blogging. but I will someday, really, I promise.
at least I comment tho!
Becky-
Funny that happened. You'd be surprised how small the blogging world is.. we Mormon women know a lot of people in common- and even more so now that everyone has a blog. by the way, WHY haven't you started a blog? I will post a picture of the two of us as soon as you start your own blog-- because I am not sure when your birthday is anyway. jk.
