Home sweet home...

  Taylen came in town this past Friday for her Spring break. It was an emotional meeting knowing that we all haven't seen each other in 4 LONG months. I had tears in my eyes when I laid eyes on her as she walked in the door, simply at the fact that she was almost as tall as me. She is turning into a beautiful young woman! It's so hard to believe that when she came into my life, she was 2. She was learning how to talk and how to say my name and here she is now reading 500 page books and talking about what she wants to do after college. She turns 11 on the April 21st, crazy to think that she will be driving in 5 years...

  We decided to take her to the beach for a few days. We stopped by the LA Zoo and headed to Hermosa Beach to stay. The next day we went to the The Aquarium of the Pacific and had dinner at P.f.Changs (yummy). The girls loved seeing all the animals and eating tons of delicious foods. On our last day there, we went to the beach to soak up the sun! It was Scarlett's first time and surprisingly she seemed to enjoy it. At first she was a little hesitant and cried, but after we showed her some toys she quickly warmed up. She learned that ocean water is very salty and that sand is not meant to be eaten! hahaha

  It was really hard to leave the coast, but it was nice to get home. We spent the rest of the week hanging out and spending some more quality time together before Miss Taylen had to go back to Montana. Scarlett really enjoyed playing with her big sister and would wake up every morning yelling "sissy". I REALLY enjoyed talking to someone who could have a conversation during the day! It was really hard to say goodbye, knowing that the next time we see each other she will be more mature and older. I've really learned that life is so precious and our little ones grow WAY too fast. Cherish EVERYDAY you have with them....

Here's some pic's from our family vacation...
