California

We had a fantabulous time on Reece's first trip to California~ Reece got to meet lots of people, yet I only have a few pictures to show for it. We did a lot of eating and just hanging out...the 3 of us are headed back out next weekend for my cousin Phil's wedding. It's a good thing that Reece is already a terrific flyer because we will be making many trips to PK and Granny's (really couldn't she have picked a better name!?!) house!

The Marco's with Reece~ We can't wait for our kids to play together!!!

The 4 generations on my Parsons' side: Reece, his beautiful mom :), PK (Papa Ken) and Great Grandma Arlene.

A smal portion of the Randol family(my mom's side + my grandma Arlene) gathering at a famous LA eatery - Phillipe's - for French dipped sandwiches. My Papa used to eat there when he was a teenager. So he drove up from his beach house to meet us for brunch. It's the kind of place with sawdust on the floor and the food is served on cardboard plates. BUT, b/c it's LA they serve Silver Oak wines - $18 a glass! :) not bad when a bottle is about 100!

Reece meeting Great Papa(?!?- i guess that's what we will call him) and Great Grandma Margaret. Reece is dressed in his argyle sweater outfit for his first trip to the Country Club. So cute. ;)

My best friend Ashley and sweet Emma. She kept pointing at Reece saying "be-bee." If you ask her, she will perform a mean chicken dance; all at the age of 13 months!

Uncle Brian trying his very best to look awake after our cousin's bachelor party weekend in Laughlin, NV- a trashier version of Vegas... yes I know.. but they went for the water sports. (it's on the Colorado River.) wink wink...

Reece and Jack just hanging out. Jack is almost 1! His mom, Alex, went to high school with my friend Mandy, from Tulsa. ALex and her hubby, Brian, moved to LA and they became my parents' clients and my friends! Small world...

They have the same forehead! My 2 favorite boys.

Overall it was a great trip and we can't wait to go back. I am sure Reece and I will be spending a lot of time there this summer!! I will post pictures of this past weekend when my two friends from home, Kristin and Cheryl, came out to visit with their hubbies. They live in San Diego and Santa Monica now. My camera was dead, so I have no pictures... hopefully Granny J sent the charger from her house!
