I could go back to Cali anytime!

San Diego, we stayed with my BFF of 24 years! Kristi, her husband and 2 dogs that Rowan loves more than his brother. We miss you Guapo and Lola!

Another Aquarium, this one is my favorite, Rowan goes every year... or every time we get to SD.



Boys at Seal Beach, La Jolla. Rowan doing his favorite "Shamu, Shamu, splash, splash" theme song. Trying to enjoy the beautiful view. Again, why can't we live here??!!

Back to Sea World, our 2nd time in 3 months... Rowan said he wanted to live by Shamu, maybe work with him in the water. So much for an athlete, he wants to be a Shamu trainer:)


The boys in their daze as the watch the fish...

Summer is way more fun in Cali!

Why can't we live in California? We were so close to go not too long ago, I wish we could live by the beach! We had some fun and frustrating adventures on our long trip, wish it were longer...
Newport Beach, Palmer happy as ever eating sad and rolling in it, my worst nightmare!


Rowan was SO excited to get this Shamu Boogie Board, he was pretty fearless in the water... too cold for me!


Dad worked on this and Rowan thought he was SO cool... well he is!

My BFF from PiPhi Jennie, her new baby Miles... either baby would look at the camera.

What a FUN summer!

Las Vegas, so HOT! So much fun stuff to do there with your kids, 1st time I had been there since college, YIKES!

Rowan is obsessed with Nascars, they have a Nascar Cafe, and the M&M Car.

Guess where??? The Beautiful Belagio. The boys loved this, wish it were longer than 5 minutes!

Everywhere we go we have to find an Aquarium, Rowan is obsessed with Sharks, and Palmer loves to say "fisssyyy" (fishy).

Rowan was sad to leave LV, the castle, the games (casinos), huge towers, so cool for him.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

What a fun day of eating All-American food, playing games, swimming, and watching fireworks, oh and trying to take on the 112 heat!



Palmer fell asleep during the fireworks, who does that??!! Does anyone really know all the words to "God Bless America"?

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY PALMER!

He obviously LOVED his cake, did not leave a bite as usual, he can eat more than anyone!

Such a happy boy opening his fun new presents!

Palmer loves his new Dump Truck, Rowan likes to push him in it... so much for him to practice walking with it! Such a happy boy!

Here we were Palmer, on our Birthdays 1 year ago! I was so happy to have you out, just not on my Birthday! Haha!

Lunch for the Sparks Birthday TRIO! At Sweet Cakes, my favorite spot!

Oh, and Happy 30th Birthday to ME! What a bittersweet day, so happy for Palmer to be 1 and Rowan to be 4, but so sad for me to me out of my amazing 20's! But cheers to my even more amazing 30's!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY ROWAN!

I cannot believe Rowan is 4! He is so grown up and independent. He loved his party with all his friends at Bounce Jungle...



Of course everything was Nascar, his obsession!

Palmer had fun with his little friends too.

Our 1st Vacation without our Kids!

We were so relaxed on the beach! Cabo is so beautiful...


We will for sure be leaving our kids again, this was great!

Saturday night we had a wedding, all dressed up in Cabo!

My parents were able to come too!

One of my best friends from high school, Eleni, the bride looking amazing! It was such a fun and beautiful wedding. We wish we were still there!
