just us two

Us at Roy's
Collins Street on Balboa Island

Amelia's: cutest little beachy italian restraunt and really good too!
Jono was such a good husband and surprised me for mothers day with a weekend getaway. We have been saying that we need to take a weekend for just us. So Jono's parents watched our kiddos, and we took off to Newport Beach this weekend. It was really nice to go somewhere local and not have to worry about the hassle of the airport. We literally just took our time with what we did, and didn't have anything to worry about at all. This was just what we needed. Friday night we went to Roy's and then went shopping, and then stayed up late watching a movie together. Saturday, We amazingly slept in until 10am!!! Oh my gosh, I have not done that since highschool! I thought maybe the time was wrong when I opened my eyes and saw those numbers. With 3 kiddos sleeping in is 7am. I didn't care if I was being lazy and sleeping in that late, I loved it! After a well rested night, Jono was so sweet and scheduled an hour massage at the spa where we were staying! It was so fun to go with Jono, where we were both pampered and had the best massage ever. That was definitely worth it and much needed! The rest of the day we went shopping, walked around Balboa Island and wished we could live there in one of the amazing beach houses, and ate at a darling little mom and pop type itialian restraunt on Balboa called Amelias. We then ended the night seeing a late night movie! Sunday, was our last day to sleep in. WE took our time getting ready and met up at Jono's parents place where our little kids were waiting for us. They were so excited to see us, but they had soo much fun with their Mema and Papa. We loved having a couple days to ourselves, and doing all these fun activities with eachother. It brought back memories of when we were dating. I am so lucky to have Jono. He is so good to me. I love him so much and have so much fun with him. This was a perfect weekend. Now we are back to real life with our kids, but real life is also a good thing. Its good to be rejuvinated and get back to being a mom of 3.

You are so dang cute. I don't think any random person on the street would ever guess that you are a mother of 3!

It sounds like you guys had the best weekend. I can't imagine what Jono pulls off for your anniversary or birthday! What I wouldn't give to just be able to drop Ethan off with some parents or in-laws and have a little getaway.
