Family Trip to LA

We decided to have a little Spring Break family vacation so we went to California and had so much fun. The weather was perfect not too hot not too cold and we loved every minute of it. Here is a few picture's of our fun trip from LA to Lego Land and ending in Sea World!

Charlotte being safe on the shuttle bus and holding on tight to the bar!

Here is Amelia also being safe good job girls!

Charlotte's favorite place to be is on the floor rolling around.

Usually she ends up under the bed!!

So her brother and sister decided to join her. Granted her brother doesn't know how to look at the camera and is always half way naked so that's why we don't see his face.

Here is the two kids posing by the ocean it was so beautiful!

Charlotte knocked out at the beach! I was so surprised that she left her sun hat on doesn't she look so peaceful?

The kids wrapped in towels after getting into the COLD ocean!

Cute little Charlotte!

Our little beach bum!

Fun at Lego Land

We then drove to San Diego and went to Lego Land and had so much fun!! Here is a ton of pictures of the kids on rides and having a blast!

Sea World

We went to Sea World on Easter Day! This was Ezra's favorite part of the trip he asks everyday if we can go back when daddy gets home from work. If only it were that easy! So here is some pictures of our fun day!

This is the scary Atlantis ride that Justin paid Amelia 5 dollars to go on. I think she is still traumatized but she did it!

This is Charlotte in her new Jammie's! She is so happy to have them on!

Amelia is holding a star fish. Ezra wouldn't go near them!

Our cute little penguins posing for a picture!

The best part about Sea World is all the fun shows! This is the Sea Otter Show my favorite!!

Amelia got her face painted with sparkles and everything!

This is the Killer Whale show which was pretty good it is a bummer that the trainers can't get in the water with them anymore but it was still good!

Then the kids favorite show was the dolphin show. They also had guys that did these crazy dives into the pool that was Ezra's favorite part.

New Payne Baby is HERE!!

Charlotte Rae Payne was born on July 21st at 11:26 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Her name is really special because she is named after my grandma Charlotte and Justin's Grandma Donna Rae.

Here is mommy getting ready for baby girl to be born! As you can tell by my eyes it was a long process to get her here. After 35 hours of labor she came by emergency c-section. It was hard work but it was worth it!

Here is Daddy getting ready for baby girl to be born!

Happy Birthday to Nana and Charlotte. What a special birthday present Nana got when she came on her birthday. I would say presents are covered for a few years!!

Here is some of her first pictures.

We have had lots of fun dressing her up and putting lots of bows and flowers in her hair.

Amelia's Dance performance

Amelia did her yearly dance performance. The play was Beauty and the Beast and Amelia's dance class was blue birds. She did such a good job and we are so proud of her, she is the best little dancer!

Posing on the steps of Kingsbury Hall before her big performance!

Our Summer 2010
