In July we went to California for a family reunion on my mom's side. We stayed in Solvang at a timeshare with my mommy, stepdad, and sisters Brittany and Kathryn, Britt's kids Jared, Victoria, and Camille, and Kathryn's friend John. The town of Solvang is so cute or as Jake says "a woman's dream town and a man's nightmare" Ü It's the cutest little Danish town in the U.S. We had fun going to all the quaint shops and we even went on a little hike up to see a waterfall one day. We spent a lot of time in the pool. We went one day to Avila Beach - but it was so windy that we didn't stay very long, but Bayla had fun playing in the sand and cold water while we were there. We spent a lot of time in Santa Maria where my uncle Jim lives. They did a fun park day where we played games and the kids enjoyed the jump house. Bayla was thinking she was such a big girl in there with all the 2nd cousins. We had a fabulous BBQ of Tri-Tip and linguica sausage and yummy salads and dips and the works! One night we did pizza and karaoke. My sisters got me to go up with them and sing one song. It's a good thing I am comfortable with all my relatives because I don't SING. We got Jake to go up with my cousin's husband and sing Johnny Be Good. Jake has a good voice so I wasn't embarrassed for him like he was probably embarrassed for me. Here are some fun pictures from that trip.

K, now that I know you did karaoke at the family reunion there is no way you're off the hook from doing American Idol on the wii next time we go to Island Park. You held out on us! Cute pictures of a fun trip! (I blame you that I've been craving nothing but peach cobbler the last 3 days...)
That looks like the cutest little town! I would love to go there... and Bayla is looking SO much like you in these pix. What a cutie-patootie!
Becky - I will NEVER sing in front of you guys! You would be so embarrassed for me. I'll have to bring you some more peach cobbler then - the pregnant girl should get what she wants.
Marcee-it is so cute! You need to go there someday. Your girl is growing up so fast and is a cutie too :)
Brooke-ee...you are BEAUTIFUL!!! looks like such a fun trip! I have been to Solvang and love it. what a fun little town! it's crazy that it's just up from the Cali beach, seems like it should be a world away from everthing :-) hope you guys are doing great. we miss you!! xoxo
I'm so sad I had to miss the reunion this year. Next time for sure. That is seriously the cutest little town...great pictures. You guys are looking great! I miss so much...could you start planning a trip to the Oregon coast or better yet could you please just move out here! :) LOve yOu!
