Cali Trip!!

So we went to California for a Surprise birthday for my Sweet Grandma Jones. She was so excited and surprised to see everyone show up. It was so good to see all of the Jones family! When we first heard about the surprise party we thought for sure we wouldn't be able to go since Rob just started school. But guess what?? He had the Friday of the weekend of the party off from school! I am so glad that we were able to make it out there. All of my (Camille, incase you didn't know I was the one who blogged hehe) siblings were in Cali for the celebration. When I say ALL I mean it all 10 of my siblings and spouses and children were there. It was a blast! Of course you can't go to California and not go to Disneyland and the beach. Here are just a few of the pictures from the super fun weekend we had.

Our new place!

This is the little house we are living in while Rob is going to school. Rob's parents are amazing and have given this house life again. Now it is such a happy house and we are happy to be living in it! Here are some BEFORE and AFTER pictures. I did not put up the bedrooms yet because they are too dirty right now for me to take after pictures. And I spent forever getting the before and after side by side but then of course when it goes on the blog it is all messed up, stinky. So just try and figure out what pictures go together.


KITCHEN paint, blinds, fresh oil on the cabinets, new faucet, and light.




















DINING ROOM new light fixture, dark curtains to keep out the heat, and what you can't see too well is the slate floors that Rob's parents worked hard to even out and seal.














My favorite THE FIREPLACE because it would be too hard to take the tile off, Rob's mom just painted the tiles and built around it.

















LIVING ROOM
















Painted the nasty blue window cut out, and what you can't see very well is the ceiling. It was just dry wall at first, and then Rob's dad textured and painted it.
















BATHROOM



new mirror, light, and painted cabinets.













FRONT DOOR





we painted the door red and cleaned off the stucco










SIDE DOOR




brand new door
