San Diego 2

This was Sea World Day!! I LOVE Sea World. Killer Whales have been my favorite animals since I was a little girl. I think they are majestic and beautiful. Every time we go to Sea World I want to be a killer whale trainer. Wouldn't that be awesome? We did everything and anything there was to do there. There is this cute new little section too for kids. Its all sesame street themed. It has rides and a cute little pit for little babies to take their shoes off and run around in. Ruthie LOVED it. It was so funny to watch all the kids just run and fall. Because it was only for little babies and toddlers you didn't have to worry too much about them getting trampled. Unfortunately our dumb camera wasn't working so we don't have photos of that. So most of these are from my mom. THanks mom for capturing the moments for us!

On the car ride to SEA WORLD!! I think i was more excited than Ruthie and Justin put together.


Reese was having so much fun she didn't even notice her dress was caught in her underwear...


My poor momma and her bad knees or should I say lucky she got to be pushed around in a wheelchair!


My dad cannot leave work at work. It goes everywhere with him.



The stingrays.. One of Ruthie's favorite spots because she could splash in the water!







Another one of Ruthie's favorites the aquariums. She was so cute. We would stand her on the ledge and she would go WOW! Sea World was a blast and I can't wait to take her when she is a little older and will enjoy the shows there. It is a magical place!

San Diego 1

We went to San Diego this past Wednesday for our big family trip. I will break it up into days like I did last time. It might take awhile because my camera started acting weird and wouldn't take pictures so I will have to get some from my mom. So I LOVE San Diego. If we could afford to live there I would be there in a second. It has the best weather, beautiful beaches, and fun things to do! We stayed at the same hotel Justin and I stayed at for a couple of days for our honeymoon. It's called the Catamaran and is possible one of the prettiest hotels I have ever stayed in. Just look at it.

Even the lobby is beautiful.



They have all sorts of fun little animals.



and plants...


We literally opened up our back door to this beautiful bay. This was taken from our porch.Did I already tell you how beautiful this place is and how much I wish I lived there?


We spent hours on this bay and the boys even had a game of beach volleyball.. which I didn't get a picture of.


We ate at this fun little place that had huge pizzas .


My family ordered three and we ate all except for a couple of pieces. and that was after we ate salad, mozeralla sticks, and onion rings. Man we are pigs!

Another fun little perk to this hotel is that you get to ride this little boat for free!











Ruthie with her cute grandma and grandpa who made this wonderful trip possible!!

Pedicure Anyone?

Daddy will do ANYTHING for his little girl... He will even go as far as painting her toenails!

Fourth of July

We had a great and fun filled fourth of July. In the morning we woke up and drove down to the parade in Provo. There were about 250,000 people in attendance. People stake out their spots the day before! Its craziness and impossible to find a good spot. We still had lots of fun though.

My attempt at trying to take a picture of us... Ruthie loves to point at everything now. It is so much fun.


Ruthie loved it whenever the bands would come and play. She would start dancing in my arms.

These girls were doing some pretty cool tricks on this horse. One did a handstand while the horse was moving.


By the end she was so tired and just sat in her stroller with her dolly. She NEVER just sits there. It was precious.


Later that day we went to the Sandy Parade.. Another attempt at taking a picture of us.

Me and Ruthie were really lucky at this parade. We got to ride on a float with Leo the Lion from Real Salt Lake!!


That soccer ball actually spun around.





We even got to meet the ghostbusters!



Ruthie was pretty restless near the end of the parade, but was happy to find some rocks to play with.


Then of course we did some fireworks at home..




Ruthie did not care for them at all. She just wanted to swing.

I hope you all had a happy Fourth of July too!
