Every September we go to Oceanside, CA with my family. We always have the most amazing time just soaking up the beautiful weather and spending hours upon hours at the beach. It is really one of our favorite places to be. It was especially fun this year because Eden was old enough to really enjoy it.
In fact, here is a picture of the first thing she did when she saw the ocean our first day there. She just took off running strait for it...
The kids were in heaven...
A couple of wipeouts...
Me and Dave...
Eden and Ryder hard at work...
The last Beach photo...
We went out one night to celebrate my mom and my sister's birthdays and take some family pictures...
We took one morning off from the beach to use our bounce back tickets to SeaWorld. We only went for a couple of hours...but it was still super fun.
Eden playing the huge instruments...
Emily and Justin loved playing in the awesome bounce house and fort again...
The end.
I know this was a huge post. If there was a class to take on narrowing down pictures for a blog, I would take it. I'm sure less is more when it comes to blogging, but it doesn't feel that way when I'm going through my precious photos. :) Thanks for bearing with me!

That's amazing how you caught that play by play wipe out of Eden's! And I especially loved the Shamu pictures at the end. Glad you had such a great time. :)
Your kids are so cute! Looks like a fun vacation. I love Oceanside. I haven't been there for ages but it would sure be fun to take all my family. You are lucky!
Don't narrow down the pics, I loved every one of them. The wipe outs, the boogie boards, the fam shots.... all of them! Emily looks so much like you!! I can't believe how grown up all your kids look!! You have such a cute family! I can't believe how many grandkids your parents have! Your family has grown so much!
That looks like so much fun. I love posting a ton of pictures, too. I think when it is your own kids you think every single one is so cute (and they are!) so you want to post them all. And you, being sweet you, probably doesn't want to leave any of them out :).
You make me want to go to the beach right now. It is going to get cold here this week :(.
I say the more picture the better! I love them and you have some very cute kids in them! :) Looks like such a fun trip.
Wow, it looks like it was the perfect trip. The Beach never gets old!!! and I love all your pictures. I feel like you guys are always taking such fun get aways as a fam!!!!
It was so fun to see pics of your parents and Katie and Kristi. It's been so long since I've seen them. Katie looks so different from what I remember! :) Looks like you guys had a blast at the beach!
What a beautiful family! I'm so jealous. It looks like a wonderful time. Talk to you soon.
THis beach looks great. When we went to Hawaii in Feb, Tyler was so scared he woudln't go in the water. but this beach looks nice with some slow rolling waves up on the beach ... before you get out to far. I am so impressed with. I guess if you start them young they wont be afraid of it.
I loved all the pictures! (So did Jessi). Thanks for posting your fun vacation.
Oh, I miss it already. Isn't the beach the best? Except Paige got stung by a jellyfish. Did I tell you that? Crazy huh.
Why have we never met at the beach yet?
You look so pretty in all of these pictures, as always!
I love all the pictures! I am horrible at narrowing it down...usually I just don't! I can see now why you didn't want to come back - I wouldn't either - so much fun!
love all the photos! I love love love California and the beach! How fun to be with cousins and grandparents!
Stop, I think more pictures is better! :D I love them all! Your family is adorable and it looks like you had so much fun!!! I was trying to figure out who was who in the grandkids photo, but everyone is so grown up! I know your kids and I think I got Katie's, but I don't remember all of Kris' kids. So fun!
That last picture is incredible! Sadly, our new home is not in the ward. We made offers on two homes in MS ward, but I guess the Lord wants us to grow. Its in the San Destin Ward, in the Highland stake, but you'll see me at the North Stake Choir concerts. I wouldn't miss those for the world.
I love your pictures! The beach is so much fun! I love when Eden is running to the water. I really can see her doing that!
I just saw all of your awesome pictures and I love every one of them. Don't be embarrassed about posting so many --they were all perfect. It looks like you all had a wonderful time. I would love to go to the beach with you sometime.
THere is nothing like the ocean + family. I wish we could go more often! Such good pictures!
Love that baby at the beach! So cute! What a fun trip.
I love all the photos wish we lived closer to the beach!! That looks like so much fun!
Amazing. Eden is getting so big and absolutely adorable. That looks like a beautiful trip. Glad you had such a great time.
