California, baby

Dale and I just took a little trip to California. It was just a couple of days but we had a good time. The kids stayed in Springville with my parents. It was really nice for us to have some one-on-one time again. Dale is actually looking at buying an HD camera for work and that was the main reason we went, but we managed to get a lot of fun things in, too.

Beautiful!
This was the view from our hotel room in Beverly Hills at night. It was GORGEOUS!
Me and my baby after having lunch in Burbank. Burbank is my new favorite town and I want to live there. I'm trying to talk Dale in to working for Disney or Warner Bros. or somewhere like that.

Any guesses?
Do you know where we are sitting?
We took the Warner Bros. VIP tour. It was really interesting if you're in to that kind of thing, which I really am. They were filming a lot of things while we were there and we got to see a little bit of it. Unfortunately, they don't allow pictures for most of the tour.

Dale made me a delicious birthday dinner- T-bone steak, scalloped potatoes, salad and sparkling cider. Yummy! The kids got hot dogs but I don't think they cared too much.

DUH MOM!

I try to be a concerned parent and this is what happens:


Me: Dylan, why is your nose running?

Dylan: Because boogers are trying to come out.

Me: Oh.

My son, the poser.

The other night we went on a walk through our neighborhood and Dale brought along the camera. No children were prompted or posed during the shooting of these pictures.

This isn't a very good picture but I love how Dylan is poking through the weeds.
Dawson, obviously, was having a blast.
Pretty picture taken by Dale.
The newest addition to the family. We've graduated from mini-van-hood. It's okay, don't cry. We couldn't help it-- the heater in the van died and we didn't want to have to pay to have it fixed.

I don't know what "don't embarrass me Fillmore" means, but Dale and the boys always say it to each other. Maybe sometime I'll ask Dale where he got it.
