What a whirlwind weekend we had! The weekend is technically only two days long, but with Scotty working from home on Fridays and me being off for summer break, every weekend just seems jammed packed with so many things we’ve done. This weekend was special for many reasons. It all started Friday morning…

Friday: Last week I had asked my mom if she could do baby duty on Friday so I could go to a dentist appointment. Looking for any chance of opportunity, Mimi immediately suggested that she not just come up and do baby duty, but that she take my child home with her! Wait, what?! Okay so that was my first response, but I kept my emotions in check and thought, ‘hey this could be a nice little break for Scotty and I’. After a whole week of thinking about it, I gave Mimi the green light for a sleep over with my dear Kayden. I know she and my dad were over the moon with excitement just waiting for her arrival! I met my mom and Uncle Nicky in Mission Viejo Friday morning and our whirlwind weekend began!

Saturday: Scotty and I enjoyed a night on the town in Oceanside Friday night and then quickly headed up to Yorba Linda to see our beloved Kayden. I had told my mom that we were probably going to sleep in on Saturday, stop for a lunch date along the way, and would end up at their house late afternoon. Wouldn’t you know it, we were there at 11 am! Kayden, my princess, we missed ya!!

On Saturday we had a great day celebrating Nick’s 24th birthday! Mimi and Grampy bought Kayden her own pool so she spent a good deal of her afternoon swimming laps and blowing bubbles ;). We just had a good time hanging out with family, watching movies and eating, eating, and eating some more! Happy Birthday Uncle Nicky, we love ya!

Sunday: The weather in Oceanside has been absolutely beautiful since we got back from Virginia. On Sunday we decided to hit the beach with the Petersons. Eli and Kayden both just loved jumping the waves with their daddies. Maica and I were just fine hanging out on the beach and taking pictures. After swim time, the babies came back to our TWO tents (because that’s completely necessary!) and had some snacks and just crawled/scooted around. Eli preferred spending the day naked while Kayden just preferred to be topless! According to the mommies, the water was a little too chilly and it was just better to be out of their cold bathing suits! What a great day at the beach!!

Scotty and I are rounding out our weekend watching a movie (Arthur) while Kayden sleeps- unfortunately, she fell asleep at 6:15 from her big day at the beach! Early to bed, early to rise PEOPLE!!!! 🙂
