California/Vegas Adventure

We vacationed to visit Zach and Jana in Cali and the Vegas crew for Memorial Day weekend. It was very pleasant, but far too short. Here is an annoying amount of pictures for you to witness the fun.

NEWPORT


Sand Monster
Cruising=VERY chipper Orr clan

ANGEL'S GAME




DISNEYLAND (Because we don't go enough...)

I hadn't been on Dumbo since I could remember so it was on the list...and so JOYOUS

AWKWARD pic with Buzz

Never been on Tarzan's Tree house-cute
The toy box was not a good look for me...pop belly

First time in the Tiki room for me...nap time for Zachy
Engagement remembered
Jana...of course
Parading with Jane
I have ALWAYS wanted to eat at the secret little restaurant that is inside the Pirates of the Carribean ride, The Blue Bayou. IT WAS AWESOME. Birthday dinner with Z&J and they gave me chocolate mousse with mickey sprinkles for dessert! If only you knew how excited chocolate mousse makes me. Blue Bayou was everything I dreamed. Checked off the list.

VEGAS

Rylee the Model
Talin the Sweetie
Logan the Doll

Wonderful Memorial Day getaway. Our only summer vacation....how boring.

We Celebrate May

Spencer turned 24...cool.
We partied with his family that weekend in joint celebration with his birthday brother's big 1-8 and his lovely mother's day of recognition.





May 11th was filled with school and work and studying...but we were also able to find time to fill ourselves with all you can eat sushi. It was so delicious, but it ended up making us like a kid on their first birthday when you put the cake in front of them and start super fast and then come to a slower and slower end until they eventually can't put another piece in the mouth...literally. But awesome.

We came home to some presents some friends and some desserts. Good company, all the hints he dropped on gifts fulfilled and scootcheroos shaped into his age...I'd say it was ok--who ever knows what Spence is thinking though!





Happy Birthday Speene
