Day 3 in Cali

Sunday: We woke up bright and early.... because the kids MADE us. Boo. They shared a bedroom for the first time at this condo and it was very cute and entertaining to hear them chatter for an hour until they finally fell asleep- usually in each other arms... BUT, every morning, one of them would have to get up to go to the bathroom and they would wake the other one up to go with them.... at 5:30am. Ugh. On this particular day, Isa kept saying she needed to throw up and she looked so bad until about 7:30am. Luckily, no throw up came and she started feeling better just in time for church. We attended church with James's family in Escondido and we let Isabelle go to nursery with Hyrum so they could keep each other company. We stayed in there with them and had a blast :) There was this little boy in there who was FREAKING out after his dad left him in there and he kept staring at me and would only let me talk to him and help him do the different activities instead of his nursery leaders. I thought it was so bizzarre, until one of the nursery leaders told me that I resembled the boys mother A LOT so he must notice that. He would not let me out of his sight and eventually I ended up packing him around! He was a cute boy, but way too dramatic for me :) I like my chill kids. He really lost it when it was time for me to leave and his parents hadn't showed up yet, but we had to hurry to the Bishop's office so James could ordain his brother Conrad a priest-- which went great! I never did get to meet my look alike... hope she was pretty :)

After church, we headed over to San Diego to visit Grandpa Stone's memorial. He is located on the top floor of this huge building at nearly the top row. He has a good view :) It was my first time being there, James had been there before. Sure miss that guy. He would have absolutely adored the kids- especially Hyrum. I know they would have been best buds.

-So peaceful, even Hyrum was zonked out-

-Hyrum wanted to take silly pictures after he woke up-

After visiting Grandpa, we headed over to Balboa Park to meet up with Colt, Lydia and their handsome boys. There were a ton of kids there so our kids stayed close and Isabelle put on her "mother" hat where she becomes SUPER protective of Hyrum and doesn't let him get 2 inches out of her sight- kinda funny to watch :)

The kids played for a bit and then we went back to the condo for baths. We decided to meet back up with Colt and Lydia and James's mom at a restaurant since the rest of the family was sick back at Great Grandma's house. We took our kids in their pajamas- they looked awesome... especially Hyrum who was rocking his cowboy boots with his Thomas the Train pjs! It was fun to spend that time with Colt & Lydia- they are pretty hilarious. They had to leave first thing the next morning so we didn't get much time with them. We definitely need to visit them in Soledad, CA. Wouldn't it be nice to have a double date minus kids, Lydia?! YES!!
