California

Friday after James got off work we left to California for Memorial Day weekend. More than likely we would not have made the trip for the weekend, but Ula Matavao was getting married to a wonderful woman named Tasi. We were in need of a Vacation and this was the perfect 3 day weekend and excuse to do so.
Now remind you we just got our belt fixed the night before and we were glad to feel safe driving, but there was this squeal noise when we would start it up, however we were reassured it was okay. The drive wasn't to bad, we didn't hit any traffic and the girls were good and fell asleep for the last bit of the drive.
As we pulled off the freeway and at every stop we made on our way to my Mother in laws house the squeal we heard was annoying, embarrassing, and frustrating. But we arrived at the house with no problems other than a squeal.
The girls were woken up as we took them out of the car and well...they were awake for awhile. They were running across the room jumping on one bed getting down and jumping on the other bed in the back house. Julie even got so daring as to just jump off of the bed. Now take note that these beds aren't close to the ground. They are on a frame and I swear the box spring in HUGE and the mattress itself has to be a double pillow top or something like that. But the girls were having fun and Mom got to see them how they really are.
Saturday we went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2. We loved it and Emjae loved it, Julie however fell asleep towards the end. After wards we went home and got ready for the reception. The girls were unable to go because invitations said no children, so Mom was going to stay with the girls.
Sunday we went to church at our old ward, the Inland Empire Samoan ward. I do miss that ward as weird as it is for me to say that. Part of me felt as if we would be back in that ward one day. Who knows though.
For dinner we had great bbq food and then for dessert somehow my cinnamon rolls got brought up :) No I did not bring them up. I was pushing it off and thinking I wouldn't have to do them because the girls, Ariel, Crystal, Ariels cousin and I were outside playing Egyptian War and the guys were inside playing xbox while the adults were napping. However I ended up still making them.
They turned out perfect!! T and Crystal had never tried them and they were very impressed. Everyone was a little upset I only made a single batch, but hey we all don't need more than 2 cinnamon rolls.
Monday James went and play Basketball with the Rialto 2nd ward (since every holiday is sports at the chapel). Mom the girls and I went shopping :) We got some really cute outfits for the girls and just enjoyed being out until Emjae didn't want to leave the Children's Place store (they have blocks and toys to play with while parents shop). After that we went and picked up James and headed back to the house to pack and get ready for our journey home.
We had a great weekend and the girls were great. However I will show you in a later post what my girls learned from Zac (t and crystals boy)
