Aunt Rachel's Baby Shower Weekend

Claire went on her first airplane ride this weekend!  Mom and Claire went to California for Aunt Rachel's baby shower (we left the boys at home).

Before the shower, we took Claire for her first visit to the beach:

Claire also got to meet her great grandma Tutu.

And her grandpa Tom.

The next day, it was time to get ready for the shower!

Grandma outdid herself with the decorations:

And all the guests made their own onesies for the new baby:

Claire pretty much slept the entire time outside where it was quiet.

But she woke up just in time for presents:

Grandma loved cuddling up with Claire.

After the shower, we took a boat ride in Newport beach with cousins Lauren and Kurt and baby Brinkley.

 

It was a very busy weekend!  Click here to see all the pictures.

California!

CJ experienced his first plane ride and first trip to California this month! Mom and CJ went to Long Beach for 12 days since mom was still on maternity leave. Dad met us there on the last weekend for uncle Kyle's wedding.

Here are just a few of the people CJ met for the first time during our trip.

Great grandma Tutu

Grandpa Tom

Mom's friend Jenifer

...who got CJ these really cool California sunglasses (with lobster swim trunks)

Great grandma Jean

Great aunt Cheryl (and great uncle John)

Second cousins Lauren and Kurt

Mom's other friend Jen (and Amy who we didn't get a picture with!)

Uncle Kyle

We spent most of the time swimming in grandpa's pool and hanging out at the beach.

Testing the water in the Pacific ocean!

And of course the wedding! Here are a few pictures from during the rehearsal and BBQ.

And at the wedding...

And a couple from around grandma's house that were too cute not to post.
