Jessica's Wedding

My pal Jessica that I've known for almost 20 years got married in La Jolla/San Diego. The wedding was incredible. It's always awesome to see such a great pal so undeniably happy. Congrats to Jessica and Mike. Thanks for letting us be part of your happy day!

So cute!

Gorgeous bride!

Jessica, Pat, and Karie:)

James and Norika

We stayed in San Marcos CA for our road trip to CA. My cousin James and his awesome wife Norika let us stay at their beautiful house. We were in CA for a wedding so we tacked on a trip to Sea World and to see the ocean. Thursday night Norika made an awesome dinner and we all got to sit around the table and catch up. Friday we went to Sea World all day and had dinner again with them on Friday night. Saturday they watched Emma most of the day so we could go to the wedding. Eli was such a big help and so nice to Emma who was constantly in her toys:) Poor Braxton had to deal with visitors all weekend although he wasn't feeling well. Sorry we invaded your house buddy! We hope you are feeling better!

Thanks Mihilk's of CA! We appreciated your hospitality so much!

Mmmm...yummy!

Eli and Emma were best pals!

Yippee!
