Road Trip 2016

Dear H, O and B,

We spent the last week on our annual road trip! We left last Saturday, drove to Auntie Kim’s house and stayed there for a few days for a visit with Great Grandpa Rog, Auntie Kim, Uncle Jon, Ben, Mireille and Madi. While we were there, we played games, went to the beach, saw the annual 4th of July Fireworks show in Solvang (which you all LOVED!), went to the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum and celebrated your 4th birthday, Bennett. It was so nice spending time with our family and we did so many fun things! After our time in Santa Maria, we headed to Anaheim to spend a day at Disneyland. We ended our trip with a full day at Coronado Island on our favorite beach, and one night in a modern hotel in downtown San Diego where we stayed on the 15th floor! This is one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken — It was an absolute blast and it was so fun to make these memories with you!

Love you,
Mama

Fantastic & Four

Dear Bennett,
Today, you are four. You are such a fantastic four! You are silly, smart and kind. Every situation is a party to you – even life’s less exciting experiences! You have a lot to say about everything, and your opinions are usually well thought out and wise. When you really want something to go your way, you call me “Sweetheart.” You are quite a charmer! Dad says his favorite thing about you is that you are not afraid to be who you are.

Here are your answers to some questions about who you are right now:
What is your favorite color? Green
What is your favorite food? McAlisters
What is your favorite TV show? Yo Kai Watch
What is your favorite place to go? Disneyland
Who are your best friends? Jacob, Luke and Josiah
What do you want to be when you grow up? An astronaut

Like every year, we are on our annual road trip for your birthday! We are at Auntie Kim’s house this week, paying a visit to Grandpa Rog and having lots of summer fun. Today, we went to the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum, and had pizza and cake with out family (including Great Grandpa Rog) at Auntie Kim’s house. Last weekend we celebrated you and Grandma together with Grandma and Jiddoh. Then, just before we left home, we had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party with Jacob, Luke and Josiah. It’s been so fun to celebrate you.

Benny, you bring us so much joy. Your face lights up my whole world. I love you, Sweetheart.

Mom
