Kylie was dedicated by Pastor Jim at CC Vero Beach a few months ago, but it meant a lot to the family to have her dedicated by Pastor Chuck as well. He dedicated me and all our kids and Golden's kids, so it was special. Afterwards, we went to Fashion Island with family and friends to eat some good food. Gotta stock up while we're in California :)

Donathan's Grandmother was here visiting from the Philippines. So glad we got to see her and she got to meet Kylie for the first time.

wedding day
Here's just a few pics of the wedding. Still waiting for more to come.

Bride and Groom's first dance
Daddy and Mackenzie tearing it up on the dance floor. That girl would have danced all night if she could have!

rehearsal dinner
The dinner was at a Mexican restaurant in Solana Beach. We didn't last too long seeing as the kids were getting tired and we had a long drive back to Golden's house.

Daddy & Kylie
Isn't she just too cute?
It was mostly Allie's family there since they all live in the San Diego area. Our family flew in from all over and weren't able to make it that day.

san diego
Our flight left in the evening on Monday, so we went down to San Diego early and spent the afternoon at Harbor Island looking at the historical ships. Donathan was in heaven. For those of you who don't know, he is a sailor and has grown up with yachts and looooooves tall ships, so we have hundreds of pictures of riggings and all that fun stuff, which I won't bore you with.
This ship is the Star of India. It is the world's oldest active ship, built in 1863.
Brendan and Kenzie learning to shorten sail.
Manning the capstan
This ship is the HMS Surprise, used in the movie "Master and Commander"-of course, a favorite of Donathan's.
Brendan aboard a B-39 Soviet Attack Submarine.
We had such a good time-perfect weather too. Wish we could've stayed a little longer.

birthday bash in california
This is a little music video Golden put together. We celebrated 3 Preciado birthdays on Friday with Donathan's family. The kids had a such a blast with all their cousins this trip.
help!!
She's crawling.
She did her first "long distance" crawl at the San Diego airport. Guess we'll have to do a little babyproofing in our house.

we're back
Well, we made it back yesterday from a week long trip to California. We took the red-eye on the return flight to save money on tickets, but we paid for it yesterday. However, I think we're almost back to normal, whatever that is. Since I forgot to bring the camera, I'm dependent on friends and family to get me some pictures. Once I have some, I will post them. My brother's wedding was wonderful and the kiddos did great. So glad I got to see my sister, even if it was really short. It's been two years and I hope it won't be that long again! We also got to spend some time with Donathan's sister and family since we stayed at their house. They are getting ready to leave for Honduras for 10 months. Check out their blog to see where they're going and what they will be doing. (Their link is on the side.)

backyard paradise
This is one of Donathan's creative outlets. The backyard used to be a lawn and it turned into this! The waterfall has a leak somewhere, so I'm sure that in the process of fixing it, it will turn into something bigger and better. No doubt we'll end up with a Lazy River around our house and we'll start charging admission. (Now if only the mosquitoes would just go away...)
