San Diego La Costa

After a fun day at Legoland we headed to La Costa Resort where we were staying for the rest of the week!  We have typically stayed in Comfort Inn's, or Marriots with our kids... so when we pulled up to La Costa the kids were amazed!  Micah yells out "IS THIS WHERE WE ARE STAYING?  THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!"  The Leavitt Group is giving my kids high expectations for vacationing!  It was such a fun place to stay!

La Costa

We got there unloaded our stuff... threw on some Pj's and climbed into the comfy beds! (After getting ice from the ice machine of course... Gma Ruth has taught him that's the best part of staying in a hotel!)

Brock living the life.... Poolside dining is always the best!

One of the nights Jeff had a Rep Dinner so me and the kids went out with Laura and her son Miles.  Then we came back and walked through the resort.  This place is huge with shops and restaurants and game rooms.  The kids loved playing arcade games and ping pong!

Taking a stroll with Miles through the resort!  IT WAS THE BEST!  SUCH A FUN NIGHT!

Playing a little ping pong waiting for Jeff and Mike to finish up.

This girl is getting so big and so pretty!  He hair looked so long that night I had to snap a pic!

Jeff had meetings most of the days so while he was at meetings me and the kids played at the resort!  And it was awesome!

One of the days while Jeff was in meetings we decided to have my BFF Katie come to the pools with her kids!  It was so fun!  She even let her kids skip school!

Micah and Kaden!  They ruled the waterslide!

The girls watersliding!  The three of them were so cute together!

At In-n-Out after a day of swimming!  Kaden, Micah, Halie, Brock, Kennadi and Kansas

My cute boys!

I was brave... probably shouldn't have been! (No worries it didn't end in a pool) 

Katie and ME... we'll keep this small! :)

The 3 girls... Halie is the biggest by far.  Her and Kansas(in the polka dot suit) are the same age and Kennadi in the striped suit is Micahs age!  Halie is so TALL!

During the trip there were 2 big award nights that Jeff and I got all dressed up for and went to these fancy dinners for.  Why I didn't take pics I don't know! But I did snap one of Jeff excepting one of his awards.  He was #1 New producer for the entire Leavitt Group Last Year!  He brought in the most sales which is a big deal i guess that is why we went to Hawaii :)  But he also got 2 other awards for both the agencies he is over which was awesome as well!  He hates me to brag and will die if he sees this but I am proud of his hard work!

While we were at the awards dinners our friends kids the Suman's who are older than ours watched our three kids for like 4 hours each might! Brock was a little devil and cried both nights!  Why I don't have picture of cute Tatum and Carly and Tanner who ended up snuggling with brock and falling asleep in the bed with him... I don't know!  I will get one next year at conference for sure!


THIS WAS A TRIP WE WILL NOT FORGET!  FUN TIMES!

Grandma and Grandpa's House

It's always a treat when we go to my parents to visit!  They always make it fun!  We were stopping through on our way to San Diego and stayed the night to have a chance to visit swim and of course enjoy some Thrifty's Icecream!

Brock of course was in heaven when Jeff scooped a little chocolate matled crunch into his empty cone!  Yum!

Gpa loves watching what Brock does!  He is always into mishief so he is quite entertaining!

And this is how what he ends up looking like after he has devoured his icecream!

Checking out the fish!  This little shopping center that Thrifty's is in has the funnest atmosphere!  A little nicer than the one in MoVal where our original memories were formed!

Swimming at Grandma and Grandpas is always the best!

 What a fun stop on our way to Sand Diego!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

LEGOLAND california

We headed to California this summer for a Conference for the Leavitt Group.  One perk of Jeff's job is going on some fun vacations!  This one he actually had to work on but me and the kids tagged along!  We went a few days early so that we could spend some time as a family!  It was a blast!  We started off at my parents and then headed to LegoLand the next day!  The kids were so excited.  This is one of the parks we had never been to!

Entering the park!

Had to take a pic with all the lego things!

Me and Brock-e on one of the only rides he could go on.

Enjoying the rides!

The Roller Coaster that we waited an hour in line to get on!

Brock-e

He would have dove into the water if we would have let him!

He could ride on this one like a big boy!  The train ride!

He didn't quite know what to think!

I think we rode this a million times!

All made out of Legos!

THE KIDS HAD A BLAST AT LEGOLAND!  What a fun day!

cousins...

We were so excited to spend some time with Braxton and Millie this week!  These two boys will be buddies for life!  Here they are watching Micah play baseball!  LOVE THIS PICTURE!

Halie has died and gone to heaven!  TWO BABIES TO TAKE CARE OF!

 These two just follow eachother around!  Two cute BOYS!

 @ The library with all the cousins!

Like I said they just follow eachother around! :)  

We are sad they will be moving FAR away next week!  But know they will have so much fun and new adventures in Nebraska!  LOVE YOU GUYS!

HAWAII - Heaven!

99 percent of my blog is about my kids... It's about time I post about my cute husband!  A few years ago we took a giant leap of faith and Jeff quit his stable job to take on a more risky challenge.  He has done awesome working at the Leavitt Group and one BIG benefit of working there are his reward trips!  Brock was 3 days old last year when we were suppose to be in the Cayman Islands so when the trip landed on Brocks birthday this year we felt bad... but didn't want to miss out again!

Flying to Hawaii!  We took the red eye!  It was great... slept the whole time... woke up to the sunrise!  I thought I would be nervous... but once I got on the plane I was totally fine!

Arriving at the Resort!  AHH This place was AMAZING!  Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui!  

Totally Recommend!

My idea of a vacation!

First day!  Had to take a pic of Jeff's $20 burger!  Resort food isn't cheap.. but it was sure tasty!

The view from our private balcony!  

First night out on the town in Hawaii!  Dinner with friends!

Snokeling trip on Day 2!

Jeff's a dork!  Ready to snorkel!

Me, Laura and Carrie on the boat!  Fun times!

More Resort food... not good that you can just charge it to the room!  Way to easy!  YUM!

My idea of the perfect vacation... Pool... diet coke... pina colada's and chips and salsa!

Ready to Zipline on Sunday morning!  THIS WAS THE FUNNEST!

Don't know why my pic didn't upload!

My $50 waffles... ordered breakfast one morning while Jeff was golfing.  Always wondered how it would fell to have room service.  It was fabulous... the guy set everything up on the deck... It was DELICIOUS!  NOT WORTH $50... but now I know how it feels to have room service... and never again!  Ha ha!

The beach only accessed through the resort!  It was 80 degrees the whole time... Heaven I tell you!

The "Adult Pool"  So peaceful!

Dinner at Mama's Fish house!  Most awesome location ever!

Crazy delicous desserts!

Shaved Ice happened a few time!  This was in Lahiana... I can taste it now!

At the Luau on the last night... A little sad it was almost over! I may or may not got called on stage to Hula dance in my skinny jeans that I could barely walk in let alone hula in!

Horrible pic... but fun group!

The group... Me and Jeff.. Carrie and Mike Leavitt, Laura and Mike Higbee, Kacy and Brad Backlund!  SO SO SO SO SO MUCH FUN!

Mike Higbee and Jeff... Partners in crime these two!

WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME!  DIDN'T WANT TO FORGET HOW MUCH FUN IT WAS!

We sit here at night dreaming that we were back there!
