Michael, Beka, and Emery had a fantastic time in our hometown of SD this January. We were able to do so many fun things, and see so many great people that we love. Having Emery along makes life in general better, so he is a plus too :)
Here are some highlights of our fantastic trip:
We stayed in Beka's sister's house while we were there. She and her fiancee, Timmy, are always so hospitable and loving. Beka and Michael take notes from them and their relationship often.
This is 'the pub room' of their house. It is a happy place for Team Oakley, and many others.
Emery was BEYOND spoiled while he was here. Books, toys, clothes, shoes, and everything in between! His Auntie Roxanne got him this Manchester United outfit, and his Auntie Ro got him some soccer gear to match. He is learning what sport is the best already, and looking pretty darn adorable doing it.
He was so cute in his little outfit, that Auntie Ro and Uncle Timmy tried VERY hard to take him.
Michael and Emery have always been a great sleepers, and Beka...not so much. So on vacation Emery tried to teach his mom the art of napping. She gladly accepted the challenge.
Beka and Michael never mind getting Emery dressed, but being here around so much family with so many helping hands, it was a nice break from the daily routine of diapers and changes. People would jump to help. Especially when it came to changing him into some cure PJs. Here is Emery getting snuggly before bed. His Aunties couldn't resist putting him in his bear suit.
Emery got to meet his Great Zizi Rose (Michael's aunt), his Zizi John (Michael's uncle) and his cousin Louisa. Zizi Rose wasted no time in snuggling with the handsome little man.
Like we indicated before, Emery got lots of fun gifts while we were here. His favorite toy, by far, was his new moose given to him by Uncle Zach and Aunt Robin. We are not sure if it is the crinkle ears, the chewable horns, the bells in the feet, the grabber rings, or the squeaker inside, but Emery loves it! It has not left his side since he first laid eyes on his new best friend.
Emery also enjoyed all the San Diego sunshine. It was snowing back home in TN, so Team Oakley soaked up as many rays as we could, SD style.
Emery supports the SD padres!
And finally, Team Oakley went to Ikea! Michael and Beka have always been fans of the swedish wonder store, but this was Mr. Emery's first time! Michael gave him the hands on, VIP tour.
It was SUCH a fun trip! Camping, hiking, snow boarding, the stomach flu, friends, family, Christmas, presents, and lots of quality time with the ones we love. And though it is always hard to say goodbye, it is easier knowing that Beka and Emery with be back in four weeks for Auntie Rochelle's wedding, and Michael will come out four weeks after that! Also, Beka's sister Roxanne is coming back to TN with them to look for collages to transfer to (fingers crossed!). We will have adventures with her in TN to blog about for sure!
So until we all meet again, Stay classy San Diego.
Love
Team Oakley
