San Diego!!!

Is it Almost time to start the Vacation i am sick of waiting......

We left for San Diego on Wednesday but stayed the first night in Vegas so it wasnt such a long trip for Gracie and then drove the rest of the way on Thursday. Friday was our first day and we went to the Wild Animal Kingdom. It was 108 degrees and no shade with lots of hills to climb to see the animals. Needless to say it was not the funniest day there but it was still better than being at home working:) Gracie loved the animals and riding the mary go round. My dad loved riding his electric scooter:) Since it was so hot we left the park around two and went back to our condo to go swimming and dinner.

Saturday we went to the San Diego Zoo which is right next to the ocean so it wasn't near as hot still hot but not as hot. This was one of Gracie's favorite days she was so super cute. She loves animals so much and for some reason calls them all "buds" so as we would see a new animal she would say "HI BUDS" in her cute little high pitch voice. Because we were by the water that night we ate on the pier at an amazing sea food resturant and you ate right on the deck and watch the sunset. It was so beautiful and it was probably my favorite thing we did.

This was us eating on the water Gracie just loves her grandma:)

On Sunday we went down to Cornodo to the beaches and walked the pier with all the cute little shops. We ate at a really cute italian resturant where Gracie got bit by a dog what luck huh? She is two and that is her second dog bite i guess we have learned our lesson Gracie likes dogs....they dont like her:)

The final day was Monday and we went to Sea World. Gracie loved Shamu and is still talking about it she also got to feed the sea lions which she was pretty excited about. We left on Tuesday and got to Vegas where we ate dinner at the cheesecake factory with my sister and her family who lives there. We made it home on Wednesday and had the best time ever. Gracie was a great little traveler and loved spending the week with the people she loves. Sorry this is such a long post we have a million pictures so i tried to pick out the one's that showed our trip the best!!

The Best 3 Years Of Our Lives

Well me and mike have offically been married three wonderful years. All week we have talked about how fast time goes and yet we cant remember life without eachother. We have created a beautiful family together and could not be more thrilled with our lives. Heavenly Father put us on the fast track road i think when we got married. We got married VERY young, got pregnant within the first month(on birth control), bought our first house, and mike is done with school in December and both of us would not change a thing. Mike is honestly the greatest husband he always well almost always:) helps around the house he is always so conciderate of me and still a gentlemen and he still works to keep the romance alive in our marriage. Everyday i love him even more although eachday i cant imagine being able to love him more. There are always ups and downs dont get me wrong no marriage is perfect but each down makes your marriage that much more perfect on the up. We have a had a very fun week our actual anniversary was on Wednesday and we both had to work so we got chinese food and rented a movie and came home and ate on the couch(our favorite). Then Friday night we went up to Park City and stayed in a room for the night and my mom kept Gracie. We had SO much fun we got lost going there which always starts us out on a laughing like we are in high school kick. Then Saturday night we went out with a group a friends to Iggy's at the junction and then went bowling and after went to farr's ice cream yummy! All in All it was a wonderful week and i have a wonderful husband and a wonderful life. Thanks to everyone who have always supported me and mike and our little family we love you all!

Weber State Fireworks

On Sunday we went to the Weber State fireworks with my family and had so much fun! It started to rain for a little bit but Gracie thought that was so fun because we were all hovered underneath blankets. It was kind of nice because it cooled it off because it was so hot when we first got there. That is one of my favorite events in July because i love seeing old friends and hanging out with the fam. I got to see my dear friend Ashlee who i never get to see anymore so that made my night:)

That is in front of the hotel we stayed in.

Thanks to my awesome father-in-law we were able to go to California for a long weekend and visit Mike's adorable brother who is working at camp Cherry Valley for the summer on Catalina Island. We were flying out on Thursday and Gracie woke up at six puking her guts out with a high fever and the shakes. So all morning i was cleaning up puke getting ready to leave in just a few hours with Mike at work making a doctors appt for my sick little angel and her crying for me to hold and sooth her. I was so stressed about now getting everything ready and then my angel mother came over and held her so i could get ready to go and take her to the doctor to make sure she can travel. Well we get to the doctor's office and she started running around and was fine. So thanks to my mom and higher power from above we made our plane, gracie was heathly and happy and there for so was the rest of us and the plane. Can you imagine sitting behind a puking screaming two year old in a small plane not a good thing but she slept the whole time and no one even knew she was on the plane. Anyways the first day we arrived We stayed in long beach and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp then walked along the pier. It was so beautiful and the perfect weather. Then the next morning we got on a boat that took us to Catalina Island where we stayed on the boys scout camp in a big round tent called a yurt. It was suppose to be really warm at night there so we didnt bring any blankets and to make a long story short it was freezing so we didnt get much sleep but made a lot of fun memories. While we were there we got to go sailing, canoeing, snorkling and hanging out on the beach(or should i say rocky shore line:) We came home on Sunday and traveled home with no problems. We had such a great vacation and our so grateful that we had the opportunity to go. Sorry there is a lot of pictures and i put them on in the wrong order so they go from the bottom up.

4th of July

She is pooped after a long day of fun!!

Us at the parade!!

Best Buds!!

Okay i know i am way behind on my blogging this summer. It is just such a crazy time and i havent been able to post so i am going to do a little bit of some catch up. We had such a fun 4th we went to the parade in the morning with Raechel and Nate and then Mikes little sister Laura came and then his brother Landon and Julie. It was so fun to watch Gracie experience the parade other than she was a little over stimulated so she was in a bad mood and she was a little young to get the whole candy thing but it was still way fun. Then we went to Mike's uncle and aunt's house for a huge party they throw each year. It is so much fun lots of food, swimming and of course fireworks! Each holiday is so fun to experience with our little Gracie. She brings back the excitment in holidays. It is also so fun to create our own traditions as a family and memories.
