I made it!

Well I am in California! I forgot my camera cord for the computer, so I will just post pictures when I get home. This trip did not start out very well at all. I missed my first flight (Long story!) Luckily I was able to get on a flight later that same day. However... my family had planned a surprise birthday party for Bailey so they had to call everyone and change it to the next day. I seriously felt sooo bad! My mom (Jan) said it was actually better because it gave her more time to get ready but I think she was just saying that because I was crying when she told me! So when I finally got on the plane that was seriously a nightmare. I am not even kidding Bailey screamed about 2/3rd's of the way here. It was so embarrassing! Luckily no one was sitting right next to me because she was like flailing her little body around in a full on temper tantrum. NO fun! She finally fell asleep as we were landing. Which was actually good because we had to wait in the plane an extra 20 minutes. Oh I just really hope the flight home will be better than that! I am just going to bring more toys for her. I didn't bring any of her toys that made noise because I thought it would bug people... but I think the blood curdling screams is probably a bit more annoying!

Once we got here things have gone a lot smoother! Bailey's birthday party was so much fun! My family is so sweet and there were a ton of people that made it to celebrate for our sweet Bailey! (My family is HUGE) They did a lady bug theme and my mom did such a good job putting it all together. And not to rub it in to my fellow Utahn's but we had it outside! The weather was awesome most of the time. It got a little cold later in the day but my Dad just turned on their outdoor heater and we were good to go! My sweet Aunt Ann made the CUTEST cake I have seen! It was grass with a giant lady bug on it. She is so talented. Anyway it was a lot of fun and Bailey got a lot of cute stuff. I can't wait to post the pictures.

The weather isn't the greatest but it's a lot better than the 20 degrees back home! It has been a little rainy but we are still having a blast. So far we have done some shopping, eating out, lots of fun talks at home. Yesterday my Dad, Vauri, Owen, Bailey and I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific. I seriously LOVE that place. It is huge and Bailey loved it! She was even reaching in to touch the sea urchins at the little place where you can touch the star fish, rays and some nice sharks. We are having lots of fun but missing Chris a lot! I will post more later!
