On Sunday morning we wobbled out of bed and headed for church. Our bishop encouraged us to be there 10 minutes early, which was nice not having to run in and sit. I always love doing my Sunday School lessons, I feel like I learn so much more and it always seems to be about something I need to hear. I love the Gospel and I'm so incredibly blessed to have been born in the church and have the knowledge of it.
After church we headed home and started up on dinner. We made carne asada and it was the most delicious carne asada I had ever tasted. Alex made his famous guacamole which was so delicious
I made home made tortillas and frijoles. Marsix made cevollitas, rabanos, and rice.
Then we made pepinos with limon...I mean we went all out!
Dinner was AMAZING that night. It was super fun all being in the kitchen and chit chatting and cooking together. Sure makes cooking a lot more fun when it's a social event. I feel like family and food should always go together
Alex and Marsix didn't want to leave SoCal without feeling some sand under their toes. We didn't know how bad it would be since it was Labor Day weekend so we decided to drive to Huntington beach and work our way down the beaches depending on how crowded it was. To our amazement it wasn't bad at all. We parked near Huntington and set up by the pier.
Alex LOVES the water and was excited to get Vanellope in with him. She did NOT appreciate that. Poor girl, even I don't get into California beaches, they are way too cold. Whenever Alex would say 'come' and point to the ocean she would start crying and run away from him, it was kinda funny and sad
She opted to play in the sand

These next two pictures are so funny. I guess I can laugh because I don't have kids, hehe. Vane was really into eating that sand.
Mmm...salty! I was too busy taking a picture to get her hand out of her mouth . Good thing her mom was close by :)
She didn't like the water but she was sure loving that sand
Loved her little ruffle bum.
It was such a beautiful day and it ended with a beautiful sunset. That night we ended the day eating snacks and playing a couple of rounds of Tenzi.
Another fun day including church, family and lots of yummy food, doesn't get better than that!!
