Pace family vacation

It was fun to be back home for a week this month for some sibling bonding time. The Pace family is getting increasingly extended, so it was a crazy party. As usual, Eric was the only person not in attendance, buuuuut, he was saving lives in the OMFS clinic. Ahem. I missed you, babe. There's always next year.

We packed lots of fun stuff into our short reunion. The headliners were remembering mom at the one year mark of her passing, seeing Cars in the El Capitan theater in Hollywood and playing at the Cars theme park afterward, beach (of course), and Jordan getting a haircut. That last one maybe not so monumental, you say? After you see some pictures you can be the judge.

Thank you to my many babysitters and especially to Jenni, who flew all the way to TX to pick me up and drop me off again. To think she did that ALL for me...not for ANY other reason. =) Seriously though, I couldn't have done it without you.

One of the aforementioned babysitters: beautiful Jessica.

Babysitters #2 and #3.

Jordan and the hair.

Uncle Jake helping Cruise build a lego car to send down the track.

I was surprised they let him on as well....

Unfortunately for James, Cruise couldn't reach the pedals.  Thanks, James. He loved it.

FHE - Pace family style. (Lindy, you just look like you can move.)

Adorable Jules. Actually, I don't know if adorable's the right word for her. Spicy? Vivacious?

Jamers. Hunk-a-licious.

Dan-Dan. Outrageously beautiful, just like her sisters.

Here's a good place to use adorable. (Applies to above and below.)

Outrageously beautiful Ellie.

Insanely gorgeous Maddie, just like her sisters.

See what I mean? Post haircut Jordan. BYU ready.

And since all the preceding pictures were taken by Jen, of course there are none of her. Too bad Jen, you're not getting out of it. 

Red-hot Jen.

Baker grandchildren.

One of Cruise's all-time favorite things - driving the tractor with Grandpa Baker.
