Newport Beach 2008

Every year we go to Newport Beach and come home and ask ourselves the same question.... Why do we live in Arizona? We have so much fun and you can not beat the weather! The week always flies by way too fast! This year we got there on the 4th of July. We barbecued and watched fire works from the lawn at the resort we were staying in. It was such a fun and relaxing night! The kids had fun playing golf, basketball, rolling down the hill and just playing with family. We went the the Newport temple and walked around on Sunday. It is such a pretty place and I love being on the temple grounds. We got manicures and pedicures, the boys went golfing, hit the famous Sprinkles, went to Disneyland, played on the beach and in the pools, went shopping at Fashion Island went to Balboa and endless hours of fun with family. Thanks Mom and Dad for another great trip!Hanging out at Fashion Island Shannon and Guy Sydnee, tanner and guy digging at the beach with papa Crew and Zoie ( He loved the sand!) getting a treat after a day at the beach Our little family tanner with his treasures he bought at Disneyland little miss sassy!

I have been waiting to see all the pics from Calif. It looks like you guys had a great time. What is Sprinkles though? It sounds like an icecream shop. Crew is getting so big. Can you beleive that he will be a year? Our babies are growing up so fast. We have to get together when I get back from Washington next week.

The picture of Crew and Chloe is classic. We now have proof that she was the bully of the trip!!

Another fun trip Shan. In case you forgot I'll tell you why you live in AZ- because its only 6 hours to Cali and with the exception of the summer, the rest of the year is perfect! Glad you could escape the brutal heat and enjoy the beach instead!
