Last minute trip to Cali

I took a last minute trip to California for a week and a half to help my good friend out.

She's pregnant and got put on bed rest {I can't even imagine!} and she has a little girl Julius' age! But it was a good time for me and Julius...we both got to spend time with our friends...

always nice.

Lots of snack cup drama with two 1 year olds.

And sippy cup drama.

Sometimes they played nice though.

One of the maybe 2 times I ventured out with both kids, I went to Trader Joe's. I heart Trader Joe's. I wish we had one in Utah. If you live near one you're lucky and I'm jealous.

Julius and Kirra watching a little Baby Einsteins.

Julius started "saying prayers" while we were in Cali. So cute...he folds his arms and mumbles jibberish.

At the park.

Believe it or not, I left Utah's winter weather only to go to torrential downpours in California. Seriously, there was flooding and tornado like water spout things flipping cars over.

{What are the odds?}

But it was ok. I actually love the rain.
