California Family Vacation 2012...This is Just the beginning!

 When Staven got home from his deployment, we decided to hit the road! We drove out to Cali and stayed with Dan and Amy and there rockin family! They were AMAZING hosts! The boys did pretty darn good driving 10 hours to get there..When we pulled around on the Becks street, we saw Dan, Morgan, Avery and Vannah outside...They started cheering and jumping up and down. What a warm welcome! We were 'love attacked' with hugs and kisses and 'We're so happy you're here!' And ...'We are so happy to be here!' And, Jathan...'Get me out of this carseat!!' ...Gabe was asleep when we pulled up. The whole drive he kept saying "Uncle Danny's house!" So when he opened his eyes, his first words were..."Hi Uncle Danny!"...

China Beach in San Fran...

 Famous Golden Gate Bridge

Lovin' on those Sweet Cheeks!

These Sweet girls never left Jathans side!

 On your mark! Get set! Go!

 Love my Jater Bug

Here's to fun family time!

 Our first day, we went on a walk and hung out at a park...found a fun train for Gabe to discover.

 Sweet San Fran!

Below are beauties from Golden Gate Park in San Fran.

 Jathan Loved the swings!

 Love you Amy!

 So the night we showed up, we were sitting around the dinner table eating and chatting, and Dan and Amy were telling us about Madisons singing and dancing group-they were to perform at the Jazz and Kings basketball game the next night at half time. Then Dan said, "So we got tickets for everyone to go!" Staven and I looked at each other and I immediately thought he meant they got tickets for their family, and Staven and I would hang out back at the ranch, Oh no!

So we All went and cheered on the Jazz...and some Jimmer :) and had a great time at the game! It was super awesome! A day or so later, we found ourselves saying, "hey remember the other night when we went to the Jazz game? Yeah, that was pretty sweet!" Thank you Dan and Amy!

 Love Love Love this Boy! Gabe loved singing with Uncle Danny. The favorites were "Twinkle twinkle little Star-remixed, and "Meats on the Menu tonight!!"

Awesome Highlights of the trip:

Eating Yummy Pizza at the Pier!

Hanging out at Pier 39. It was chilly, but Fun!

Forkin out the cash to see the Aquarium, wondering if it would be worth it, Then they gave us a Military discount!....we felt better... then we walked in and saw all the cool fish takes, Gabes eyes lit up, and at that moment it was worth Every Penny!

 Getting excited to eat Pizza! We were Starving! We had BBQ chicken. The pizza was good, the crust was De-Lish!!

So much Fun! Can't wait for the Redwoods! Thank you Dan and Amy! Thank you Morgan for letting Gabe play in your room, Thanks Vannah and Avery and Maddie for playing with Gabe and Jathan! You are his favorite :) Thank you Love of my Life for the Memories! Lets make lots more!
