Prices sister Melanie spent a few days with us this week. She came in from Colorado and was greated by San Diego with strong winds and massive amounts of rain...exactly the weather everyone expects to find in S.D. (NOT) Every day she was here it rained and poured. The plan was for her to catch a train from S.D. to San Luis Obispo on Christmas Eve morning, but due to the glorious weather, the tain tracks were washed out! Happy Holidays, right? Luckly the weather cleared up on Friday and the tracks were in good shape a little further north up the coast. So we all piled into our little car and drove up to Solana Beach. I'd just like to say...I WANT TO MOVE HERE!! It is a beautiful, slightly mountianous, little town on the water. We got there an hour before her train so we killed some time at the park, which is on a hill overlooking the ocean. I took a few snap shots...
The benches at the park have these really pretty designs and quotes all along them...
After Melanie got on the train to spend Christmas with her parents and sister, we drove back home, dropped the kids off at the house and Price and i headed out to do a little shopping for ourselves (and a lot of damage on our credit card).
If youre thinking it's been a busy day so far, were not even half way done yet...oh no, not even close! Next we took the whole family to the dog park where we met up with one of my moms friends and a few of the dogs she was looking after. The boys were in heaven! They love dogs and i'm really pushing to add one to our family :) The dogs were not the only ones marking their territory... yes there was a bathroom several yards away, but apparently they are overrated. :)
Dog park adventures complete, we went home, had dinner...
Preston rocked George to sleep...
The boys opened 2 gifts each...
They put on their matching holiday pj's...
Preston put out a few cookies and some milk for Santa, only sneeking one for himself. (Don't judge, I was really tired, hence the oreos, homemade cookies to come Christmas day)...
AND FINALLY...with the boys in bed, Price and I CRASHED!! Tommarow is bound to be an exciting day! Yipee!
Lots of Love and Bunches of Hugs
XOXO Brogan LEE
With Price being stationed in San Diego and all but a few family members & friends in other parts of the country, it only made sense to start a blog! Preston and Ethan never seize to amaze me and I love sharing stories with everyone who can't experience the adventure first hand. I hope you enjoy the drama that is The Walling Family!
About Me
- wallingfamily
- Back to the beginning: Price and I met at YHS my freshman (his sophmore) year and dated for the next three years. After Price graduated, he joined the military and was stationed in Beautiful San Diego. Shortly after I graduated, we were married and had our 1st little man on the way: Preston Barrett Walling, born 2/2/07. We bought our 1st home in May 2009 and Little man #2, Ethan Jefferson Walling, followed on 7/29/09. As if life wasn't already crazy enough after that, we welcomed baby boy #3, Maverick Charles Walling on 11/20/2011 and our first girl (and Dog) Lucy in January 2012. We're still in San Diego, living one adventure after another!
