ssshhhhhh…….

shhh don’t tell Diesel I put this picture up. He might be mad that I have a picture of him snuggling a bear. But I have to say he was pretty darn amazing on all of our flights to Washington and back. More to come soon!!!

really?

Saturday Deric, Levi and I ran to Target to get some groceries and a travel crate for Diesel that will fit under an air plane seat. We put a lot of the groceries in the back seat of Levis truck with me, but put the water bottles that we had just bought in the back of the truck. We headed over to Baja Fresh for some lunch. We were inside the restaurant for like 10 minutes and then came outside to eat for like 10 more minutes. In that 20 minutes someone got into the back of Levi’s HUGE truck and stole my water! seriously?? there were TONS of other things back there and they STOLE my WATER!!!!!

Pismo Beach

My brother texted me Wednesday and said he wanted to play hookie from work on Friday and head down to Pismo Beach. Since neither Deric nor I can play hookie from work, we got up super early Saturday morning with Diesel and drove north 3 hours to Pismo beach. We got to Brians hotel before he was even awake!

He didn’t tell the kids we were coming to spend the day with them at the beach, so they were really excited to see us, and they had never met Diesel either. Jillian was the most excited to meet him! She kept telling the puppy to follow her, or let go of her stuff.

We headed down to the beach and started our fun day in the sun! – the sun screen for Deric and I. very bad decision. I should have taken pictures of our redness and peeling but of course I forgot!

Diesel absolutely LOVED the beach and the water and all the people that loved on him! Brooke learned how to body board and did a really good job! Deric was a very good teacher even though the water was VERY cold!

Everyone had a great time expect Natalie, who said she was FREEZING the whole time and wanted to go home. She was miserable until Uncle Deric started burying Nathan. She jumped off the chair she was FREEZING on and started helping! everyone was covered head to toe in sand! But that's what we get for being at the beach!

I love being able to see family! and its nice that we only had to drive 3 hours to see them!! We hopefully will be making more trips to Pismo beach to see family!!!

Funny little fact, my dad spent a lot of his summers in Pismo Beach as a child!!!!
