Leo Cariello...

FOR THOSE WHO REQUESTED WORDS...


Every Year my "Mormon family" goes camping at the beach in Malibu, CA over easter break. They have been going for 40 plus years. I went for the first time when I was 16 and have gone all but a few years since. It is such a blast!! Beach all day and camp fire at night. I was there all by myself without Zach. He wasn't able to take anymore time off so he flew home for 10 days and then met me in Las Vegas for the drive home. My buddy Aubrey and her sister Marla came for a day and a night. I was sad to see them go but was glad I got to spend one day with them at the beach. I so want to go next year...now how do I convince Zach to make the long trek west all over again???
Lissie and Brielle (Aubrey's oldest) playing tag with the waves. They were so cute together!!

Brielle and Brody collecting sticks to start a fire.
Carleigh loved the beach. She was such a trooper!!!

Lissie and Brody in the rock cove on the beach. The lighting was just perfect for some great pictures!!!

Holli (my mormon sister) and I at the beach. It was so fun getting to be with Holli. She is a big girl now with a husband and all. I can't believe it!!!

Trying to get a picture of the girls. Carleigh was less than happy as you can see!
Family shot on the rocks. I so adore my little ones...
After a long day at the beach. The kids went to bed pretty close to perfect every night!
Brody loved the water. I was hoping he would be scared of it so I could relax a bit but that was not the case. He was playing in the water almost the entire time.
Two cute girls!


Zander, Brielle, Peyton(one of aub's twins), Lissie and Brody. That was how they slept the first night there. Aubrey, Marla, and I were at their feet. It was one packed tent!!!!
Brielle, Lissie, Brody, Peyton, and Zander once we finally got the fire going...
The fire was too bright for Zander so he put on his sunglasses. TOO CUTE!!!

Aubrey and I cooking dinner together the first night. Oh how I miss her. Check out or sexy mom mobiles in the back of us!!!!!!!!

How fun! You need more journaling. Where were you? Who are you with? I'm excited for camping this summer!

I agree with AnnaMarie, but the pictures are great. Darcy, are you listening? Seriously. THANK YOU for your help with the boys this week. I don't know what we would do without you. I'll make it up to you somehow.
