Cougar alum

I couldn't be more proud of my college grad! I'm so excited for Scott to go out in the working world and make it a better place! I do have to admit that seeing Scott graduate made me a little bit jealous and anxious to be done... too bad I have another year and a half left. Keep calm and carry on!

Californian or Utahian?

So every day I'm turning more and more into a "Utahian". First thing to go was my beloved California drivers license, then it was the license plate, and now... the footwear! That's right. I just bought my first pair of chacos!

Now I'm not gonna be that intense and wear them around town with my abercrombie flared jeans and shade shirt, but these are the perfect outdoorsy shoe. I can just picture myself climbing a mountain on a hot summer day or going river rafting in these bad boys. I can't wait to use them... what should be my first hike? Do you want to come with?

Family, beach, and love... the best week!!

First day.

Family beach day! Look how cute Scott is carrying our nephew on his shoulders. I still cant believe the amazing weather we had the whole trip!

We made a little friend on the beach. He came and hung out for a little, and then returned to his home. He was just a cute little baby

I love to see the temple! 7 months after we got married, we returned to worship and show our love to our Savior.

Second day.

Another mellow beach day.

Scott really likes iceplant. I don't know why, but he makes me laugh. He says it is fun to walk on.

Third Day.

Beach day! Dear beach, I will always love you.

Fourth day.

April invited us for a fun hiking day. It wasn't an intense hike, but we wanted to do something a 2-year-old would enjoy. I love being with them, and April has been so good at being with us every day! Thanks Apes.

Davin is doing this funny thing lately... he doesn't like his picture being taken so when you point a camera at him, he yells "No picture, no picture!" and waves his hands all around. It's quite hilarious.

Today was also a bad day... Scott's camera broke. At least I have my camera, but we left it at home. It's not fun to have a camera break on vacation.

Fifth day.

Saturday morning was a perfect day for the beach. Unfortunately it was a little to overcrowded for my taste, but it was 75-80 degrees mid March. How could you not love San Diego? Then we realized our beloved Cougars were not gonna be broadcast on our CBS station so we had to figure out what sports bar that showed all the games. We ended up at this small sports bar that had about 60-70 TVs EVERYWHERE! It was awesome. If only our Cougars could have beat Kansas State. This is a crummy picture that we took from our camera phone.

Sixth day.

The day of rest, and I did just that. Went to church and were "going" to hike torrey pines trails, but we ended up taking up a nap after church and didn't wake up for a couple of hours... woops. Then my sis came over with the boys and we ate my moms famous lasagna. Happy Sundays.

Seventh day.

We didn't have too much time before we had to go to the airport so we shopped at Surf Ride, ate acai bowls, and had breakfast burritos yumm! Thanks for the fun weekend family. I love you. Oh yea on the airplane ride back, we met Elder Tom Perry!

Create.

I just got inspired!! Doesn't this video just motivate you? It makes me want to tap into my creative side and use my talents. "Remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative being of the universe"... cool.

Anywhere but here.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Utah!!! but as I look out of this classroom window to the ugly brown snow, dead trees outside, and I just have a need to get out of here! So this is where I want to be... Hawaii. I want to go on some cool hike and enjoy nature, and then go to the beach. Good thing I am going home to Carlsbad in 11 days. I think I can last until then.

Blu-ray

Scott and I are really excited because we bought our first Blu-ray DVD player that also lets us stream netflix videos... now we just have to hook it up and buy netflix! Time to put Scott's handy skills to the test.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday Papa!!! I am so grateful to have you as a father. I love you!

I'm on a Lake!

As we were driving up to Park City to go snowboarding, I told Scott how I have always wanted to go on a lake so he just pulled over and I got to go on a lake! It was kinda scary because you can hear the ice breaking beneath you.

Us being newlyweds...

Afterwards we made our way up to Park City and had a fun sunny day of snowboarding.

Scott likes to switch it up sometimes and goes skiing. He is actually pretty good at it for going only a few times...

Sledding

The sledding crew, minus Apes cause she is taking the pic. These guys made it all the way from Carlsbad and I was so stoked to be able to spend some time with them. We went sledding in Highland. It's fun to see how much these boys love the snow.

This is my sister April (I call her Apes). She is one of my biggest examples of how to be a good mother. I am so amazed at how loving and patient she is. Hopefully I can be like her one day.

Scott and the boys would start snowball fights with each other. I think Caleb liked it more than sledding

Scott is so cute with my nephews! He is always playing with them and helping out. They are starting to love him more than me!! But look how cute this picture is... Scott is practicing for offspring in 5 years or so.
