This is the last full day we spent in California we went in September and of course the weather wasn't perfect but all we wanted was to see Steven and we did get to do that so it was well worth it. 
Sleeps on 4 wheelers, in the car, at nap time, through the night....I LOVE MY SLEEPING BABIES!! Well I would love them if they didn't sleep too but I love that they do.
Paxton in the hotel (one of his many "owies" on his face...I have another good one coming up.) This little face just makes my day.
Yes this little face makes my day too. Nothing like sleeping in and heading to the beach. So fun!
Paxton rocking his boogie board. He finally got to the point that he liked sand, it was a rough go the first few times. Of course that face doesn't suggest enjoyment
Mark and Marin in the ocean, it was sooo cold! I certainly wasn't going to get in but Marin and Mark and every once in a while Paxton got in they loved it!
Oh my how I love this little brother of mine! Steven and I have always been close so it was such a blast getting to hang out with him again and no where better to hang out than at the beach!
The tide pools were really awesome, I wasn't expecting much but it was really fun. Then we went and drove around the coast and looked at the insanely massive homes...always entertaining. We debated going up and knocking on someones door and saying "Please Please let us just look at your house!" We never did....maybe someday....probably not....but maybe.
Oh feet and the ocean. Part of me felt 8 years old again back in Florida except that handsome man next to me and those 2 babies of mine snapped me back to this wonderful realty. I love the way the beach just makes everything else seem so small and calm. Oh the beach....
This face....that growling happy face! 
Marin loves that Uncle Steven of hers so much! She is so cute. She couldn't even let him eat she was so excited to see him and tell him everything that he has missed the past 4 months. Which was a lot.
Our family picture on the pier by Steven's house. 
After we saw Steven we drove right to the beach. Everyone loved it!
Steven took Marin down to the beach for the first time, I love that you can see her little foot steps. She LOVED it, thought it was the greatest thing ever!
Marin and I made this chain for days til we got to see Steven! She was so excited she could hardly contain herself!
Oops bad placement. This was the morning we left. Steven came over and spent the night in our hotel and I almost didn't have the heart to wake them up and tell her we needed to get going to that boring place.... home.
So our Turkey looks like it has some funky tan lines but I tell you what it was the best turkey EVER..hear that Dad....EVER! My Dad showed us this recipe on how to cook your turkey and it was so good. Mark and I ended up cooking Thanksgiving dinner for his family and we had 2 days notice but it turned out great. I wish I had more pictures but I was a little busy with other things...if you can imagine that : ) 
It snowed! So instead of bundling my kids up like a good mom I went outside got a bowl and brought it inside and said look! Snow! Same thing right? They thought so!
So all kids have their little quirks but this kid takes the cake so far in our family. He growls, beats his chest and crawls around with shoes on his hands. Shoes left out you had better believe they are going to be on his hands and he is going to be crawling around. My personal favorite is when he does it with my high heels.
Speaking of quirks this boy has more scratches, bruises, and bumps than any other baby his age. If he isn't on the highest thing in the room he is unhappy. If he isn't letting his sister jump on the couch to fly him into the air something isn't right. Those 2 children of mine are turning into a dangerous pair.That concludes our fall season. Of course with the weather being what it is it still feels like fall.
