Quality Time

Two months. That's how long it had been since Moe-Joe's last visit, and exactly how long she had Allen Jess withdrawal... before she just had to come out and visit us once again. And as you might have guessed... Allen was thoroughly excited to see his Moe-Joe!

Moe-Joe left Dad-Oh behind this time... so that her & Allen (and the iPad of course!) could enjoy some quality time together.

Summer time was upon us, and that meant it was hot out...

which in turn meant two things:

Many afternoon hours spent playing in the pool...

and lots of wasted water!

Naked-time playing in the pool with Moe-Joe...

definitely one of Allen's favorite activities!

The kiddie pool certainly wasn't the only pool they played in! 

The big pool got some use in as well.

Moe-Joe & Allen practically kicked Jei & I out of the house one night! They apparently didn't want us around... so we happily went out, had date-night, and enjoyed our time together... just the two of us!

Lunch time at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

Not exactly patient when it comes to waiting on our food...

Allen kept busy playing with his puzzle.

Playing & learning on the iPad...

definitely a nightly occurrence with these two!

According to Moe-Joe, Allen always did such a good job

and was always earning gold stars...

Which meant he deserved a good helping of ice-cream!

Waking up and stuffing your face with bacon...

Mornings just don't get any better than that!

That afternoon we spent some time playing at the park.

And then we rode our bikes to Allen & Moe-Joe's

favorite outdoor eatery... The Mill!

Playing iPad games with Moe-Joe

while getting fed snacks by Mommy...

Life is pretty darn good I'd say!

Moe-Joe & Allen... hand in hand, happy as can be, and just about inseparable... whether it was in the house coming down the stairs...

Or outside walking around in the backyard...

Or even together playing in the waterfall...

It didn't much matter where they were (or how few clothes Allen had on)... they were always having a good time.

Being outside playing in the pool & the waterfall is one thing... but add some bubble-blowing and it's a whole new ballgame!

Nothing brings a smile to his face like chasing bubbles around!

"I am the king of this backyard!!!"

It wouldn't be a SoCal visit without a delicious Peony's meal!

Allen loves his noodles!

Moe-Joe's visits always seem to go by so darn fast. Probably because we always have so much fun. It's just too bad our ride back to the airport didn't go by just as fast. We may have had a lot of traffic... but we certainly had our fun. 

This is Allen...

not realizing his Moe-Joe is about to leave...

and in his usual happy mood!  

And this is Allen...

after realizing his Moe-Joe just left to go back to Florida. 

Thank you Moe-Joe for coming out and visiting us!

We love having your here and can't wait to see you again!
