Okay, technically, it wasn't really a VACATION. It was more so a
"going-to-AZ-for-Nichole's-graduation-and-since-we're-close-let's-stop-in-CA-for-a-few-days-too"
trip.
Whew! But that wouldn't have fit in the post title fo' sho'.
AZ
First of all...
CONGRATULATIONS TO:
Nichole Cherie "Cherry Seagull" Drake
and
Jesse Dane "Denay" Jensen
CLASS OF 2009!
And also to
Victor R. "Rebecca" Miranda
(Nichole's future husband)
(just kidding)
We sat in the rain for graduation...fun, fun, fun.
Crazy pics as usual:
Graduation
Nichole!
Graduated #22 out of 500 and something-and with honors!
Class of 2009 throwing up their mortar boards (again, bad pic).
Us girls and the B-Man.
Us girls, plus Mom and Bill (N&C's dad--the way our family could have been).
Graduation Dinner
The entire fam.
Say CHEESE!
My family!
Muh-muh-muh-MIA!
Grammie 'n Sammie!
Court and Chelsea, model posing.
Ah, Chelsea...she's the last one left in high school!
Nichole, Sammie and Bill.
Random Pics
Grammie with Mia and Sammie; we visited Mom at work.
Court getting mobbed by all the babes.
Piper continually tortures Mia by pouring water over her head.
The 3 girls!
Evolution of a baby behind!
Grammie Attack!
Playing in the pool.
Piper contemplating the meaning of life.
Sweet thang!
G.G. chilling with Sam.
Oh Mia!
Mia and Piper, probably trying to cause trouble.
I guess Piper likes to lay down in the middle of the kitchen.
Is Piper pushing Mia away or patting her on the behind? Who knows.
When Me and Courtney Get Together, Crazy Pictures
Get Taken
Dead Face
Scared Face
Oops We Pooped Our Pants on a Plane Face
Crazy Face
Model Face
Old Friends
While visiting, I had the chance to have lunch with my best friend from high school, Dr. Dionne Mills-Silik!
Ah, the memories!
Jesse's Graduation Party
We went to my Uncle Bryan's house for J's grad party. Of course, we always have fun around Ube.
Me and Jesse just chillin' (and watching for scorpions out of the corner of my eye).
Court 'n Mia!
Mom's the life of the party!
Grandma relaxing on the back porch.
And a big thank you to Grandma for letting us stay with her!
Piper drinking out of her cup like a big girl!
Ube's mug!
Bryce dancing to some Blink 182-old skool!
Nichole pulling aunt duties with Sam.
Mia's Baptism
Mia also got baptized while we were there. Think I got any pictures of it? Nope. Me and Bryce were the godparents/sponsors, so I didn't take my camera up to the front of the church with me. But we did get a picture of everyone after breakfast:
Yes, Sammie is not in the picture because she was sleeping, as usual.
Before AZ, we did stop in SoCal to hang out with Bryce's parents and my dad.
CA
AMERICAN IDOL, WOOT!
We had a big American Idol party at Sue and Cliff's house (big meaning there was more than just me).
Team ADAM
Team KRIS
Team Simon Cowell?
That's Bryce for ya!
Cliff rockin' the vote.
Sue is Adam's girl all the way!
Oh Dad.
Me and mine father.
Swimming With Grandma
Gotta keep Grandma on her toes!
I'm a Pir-ahn-AH!
Climbing up and down the step was fun...for a while.
Bouncing around with Grandma, looking for her "curlies" (the diving toys).
A Quick Trip to Sea World
Cliff, Sue, me and the girls went to Sea World for a short visit. Piper had SO much fun! Even Sammie had fun too!
Sammie getting ready for fun in the sun.
Riding the "up down Elmo", as Piper calls it.
Hanging onto Mama's hair for dear life!
Loving the splash pad!
Checking out the starfish Papa was holding.
Piper loved watching the seals.
Sam just hangin' out.
Me and my girls!
Had to get a picture of the photographer in there...thanks Sue!
BBQ
We had our cousins Leanna and Sterling, plus our friend the Flynns over for a BBQ. Even Grandpa Ken came up for a few hours.
Leanna, Sterling and Sam.
Bryce is enjoying himself, I promise!
Cliff hanging out with the boy dog.
What a great day to relax by the pool!
Yes, Sam is really asleep...she fell asleep with her head in Bryce's hand.
Great Grandpa Ken and the girls.
Saying Good-Bye
Grandma and Papa with the girls.
Thank you for letting us stay with you.
But now we're home and relaxing...well, except for Bryce and Piper...they have food poisoning. Just picture Piper sitting in the shopping cart full of groceries (actually in the basket, since Sam was in the front seat in her carrier). You turn around to hear her gagging and notice that she's thrown up IN THE MIDDLE OF WALMART and ALL OVER YOUR GROCERIES. Fun stuff. Guess this is what my mom meant when she said motherhood was fun, eh?

I love that your family gets so into American Idol. That looks like so much fun.
