Probably the best part about Ryan working for a VA hospital is that he gets all government holidays off...even the random ones like Columbus day. So this past Monday we decided to celebrate the day in a way that would make Columbus proud.
Ryan started out the day by going to the driving range. The poor thing hasn't golfed in like 3 months (I know...it's tragic!) Anyway, there's no picture cuz Ella and I stayed home so Ella could get her morning nap in.
Next, we went just over to our little apartment pool. First we had to put some sunscreen on Ella. Let's just say she was not too happy about it.
After we got that overwith, our little fishy loved going for a swim.
When we were done swimming, we were all pretty tuckered out so we went home to take a Columbus day nap. Lately, Ella's been falling asleep like this...like folded in half. It's like she's siting up in her crib but she doesn't know how to lay back down so she just falls forward and goes to sleep. It's the funniest thing.
a view from the above...
After we were all well rested, we met up with the Banners at the Irvine Spectrum. The original plan was to spend the evening at Disneyland, but somehow the boys convinced us that we needed to spend our family home evening at Chammps Sports Grill so we could learn something from the Cowboys game. As far as what the lesson was exactly...I'm still not sure. Something about Keep the faith, Never give up, blah blah blah...
Lindsay and I took the kids and walked around the mall while the guys finished watching what was supposedly "one of the best Monday Night Football games ever!" Then we met back up with them at around 9:30 and what better place to take your kids than to Dave and Busters for some more fun and games!
All in all, we had a pretty fun Columbus Day. I am so grateful for any extra days we get to spend with Ryan and now that we live close to family, I'm grateful for all the time we can be with them!

What a fun weekend! I absolutely love how Ella sleeps! It's so funny!
What fun pictures!! Do you ever have a calm day living in California? What fun memories...parties, date nights, road trips, shopping, spending so much time with family. I can't wait when we'll live closer to family. I love Ella's new sleeping position. Maybe she wants to take on gymnastics!!! Ella is so darling, I wish we lived closer to hang out more!!!
Ok, I was showing Steve your updated pictures and he laughed at the pictures of Ella sleeping. He said she looks just like Ryan sleeping in class!!! Fun memories of Omaha.
