Memorial Day

I know that I am way behind on blogging so I am going to attempt to catch up day by day. Well see. So for Memorial day all of the Arizona Newells and the Toomers from Vegas, all went to San Clemente to visit the Browns. We called it a cousin reunion. The Browns have this great house in San Clemente only a few miles from the beach and graciously invited all of the crazy crew to come down for the weekend. It was sooo much fun! The weather was perfect, the beach was amazing, the company was great and we got to play games! (for those of you that don't know me too well, I love to play games! But it seems that all of those close to me in my life don't. So when I get the opportunity to play games I am sooo happy!)
Isabella loved the beach. She would seriously take handfuls of sand and eat it. There was nothing we could do to stop it. But luckily the second day that we went she slowed down on eating it. I think she was still full from the first day! And she loved the water, especially when the waves would splash her legs. It was so fun! But I did realize that my days of reading on the beach all day are OVER! But it is a good trade and will be back all too soon, I am sure.


Mmmm! Sand is sooo good! (yuck!!)
So she is crawling around one morning and I find her under the island and much to her delight she has found some bacon from breakfast that had fallen on the floor(yuck, again). Ya know you gotta do what ya gotta do to survive!

We went to LA the on our way to San Clemente for two days so Rich could work. So Isabella and I pretty much hung out in the hotel and did some shopping. But she was loving snuggling in the pillows on the bed!
This is Sam, Craig, and William Brown. The are so great. They kept us laughing all weekend!
And the more attractive half of the Browns. Me stuffing my face, Carly, Susan, and Chelsea! So I am eating these things called Woof Ems'. You put crossiant dough around the end of a foil covered dowl and roast that over the fire. When it is done you pull it off and it makes a little cup which you fill with chocolate pudding and whip cream. SOOO good and way better than smores!



This was her first day of Pig Tails! I love it!
