Family Vacation on Coronado Island & San Diego

double click on the slideshow for better viewing)

This is one of the best vacations we have ever had. We can't stop talking about it!We went to Legoland, Seaworld, the beach, shopping, parks and stayed in the Marriot resort on Coronada Island. We felt like this trip really brought us closer together as a family. Other major highlights of our trip was visiting grandma bobby, Lisa & Danny and Grandpa Fred! There was a 5.9 earthquake in San Diego during our stay there. Unfortunately the kids and I didn't feel a thing while we were in our room but Shane was at the laundromat at the time and said he felt it. He saw the van sway from side to side and we also heard later that it shook the kitchen in the hotel.

Addies 1st birthday!

It's hard to believe Addie is already 1! She's advanced so quickly in many respects. She's walking, and saying the words "hi, baba, don't, hot and want." She has already learned the art of sneaking things behind our backs(no doubt she learned this from her siblings). She likes to put her doll in the baby stroller and take her for rides. She also enjoys watching her brothers and sisters play. We can't get enough of her cute little personality!


Aleah was all smiles on our way to addie's birthday lunch!
