Well, I haven't been good about posting stuff from this whirlwind trip. It was such a fun time packed into just three short days. So, here are a few photos from the concert. The girls had the time of their lives!

And we're home. Good night.

Headed to the concert!

We've got our custom shirts on, and we're headed to see Selena Gomez!

Breakfast on Selena day

Our cousin Lacey made us breakfast :)

We headed to the atrium at the Bellagio to check out their beautiful flowers.

So, we couldn't go to the concert and wear generic shirts. We customized. the white shirt is Shelley's (I love Selena), the black is Kayla's (Selena's biggest fan). They are SO EXCITED!!!

Ah, McGill, how I've missed your 25mph speed limit after going "70" for 3 hours.

Can one have a common

Can one have a common law momma?

Just a word to the

Just a word to the wise: doors perform an important safety function. They work best when closed and latched...Shelley.

On the way to Vegas to see Selena Gomez in concert. I know the girls are excited to see her, but I'm excited to watch their faces as they sing along. :)

Or...tucking them in.

There is something so wonderful about ticking my kids into their own beds :)

"welcome to Idaho." best sign I've seen in a while.

At a rest stop just

At a rest stop just south of Las Vegas. It's a nice one. I highly recommend it.

In the car on our way home. :)

Last night in Califas. Weird that the time has gone by so quickly. Spent some time this evening with the Strand family. It was a great time. The kids were really happy to see each other.

Auntie: why did the door just open? Shelley: there was a strange man out there, so we thought we'd let him in. Kayla: and he had candy!

Hanging out with the Strands in Anaheim. Met Bella for the first time today...what a sweetie pie! Excited to see the cousins together.

After the Museum Tour

A wrap up of the Warner Brothers Museum tour. Presented by Shelley and Kayla.

On the Boat

Kayla can't resist an opportunity to spend ridiculous amounts of money on something we can get at home...

If I Die Young

Shelley will be SO mad at me for posting this, but it was too cute to omit! I love to listen to them singing...

Dolphins

I thought the pictures were pretty. But actually seeing them was awesome. They are truly beautiful creatures. The squeals of joy you hear are Kayla.

The Climb

Kayla really likes to sing. With passion...This was in the car on the way to Moreno Valley on Friday.

Arrived in Long Beach

We got to Long Beach, then made this little update, because we realized we hadn't uploaded much of anything. Kayla was a little tired, hence the attitude...

Newport Beach pier

When in Rome, do as the honey badgers do.

I think I could live my life at sea. I love the pitch of the boat in the ocean.

Eating pizza before whale watching in Newport Beach. This is going to be awesome.

Pizza

Having a quick slice before whale watching :)

Well, whale watching WAS going to be a surprise...

I met my great-uncle David for the first time today. He said I was beautiful. I think I'll keep him.

I love my sister. She just told me to shake it like it's hot. :)

Movie time

Beautiful day today. Took a ride along Alessandro to Central today. Jammed out to "On the Floor" and enjoyed the pretty palm trees. They just don't have views like this in Idaho.

Representing Idaho in California. Locals are mocking my whiteness. A guy just complained that he didn't have his sunglasses.

Idaho girls

Getting a quick bite at In n Out. Shelley converted Kayla...she's down with it now.

Kayla: Mom, why aren't you dancing?
Me: I'm dancing on the inside.
Kayla: Well, you'd better dance out loud.

Ew. Air smells yucky. Think I can go five days without breathing? I don't love smog.

In moreno valley. safe and sound. sleepy time now.

CalifornIA!

Vegas, baby!

On the way to Jackpot

Images from the road.

Untie didn't like her windshield, so she put a bird on it.

Made it to Ash Springs ...almost to Vegas now.

And Ely. We have not missed you.

Prettiest Clouds are Found in Idaho

Jerome

Just outside Jerome

It smells like kuna here.
