First Day of Preschool

Wesley has been sooooo excited to go to Ms. Carolyn's ALL YEAR! He was so happy for his first day! His class is filled with familiar faces... including his friend Simon who used to be our neighbor. We are going to carpool with my friend Becca and her daughter Chloe. 

Baylor's First Day of 1st Grade

Baylor's first day of first grade... and his first day at his new school! We met his teacher and went to his class a couple days before school started. His teacher seemed really great and the classroom was decorated so fun. It is going to be a great year!

Wesley was jealous he didn't get to start! 

A couple more days for Wes!

Baylor's first time riding the bus to school! 

Summertime Pictures

What a CRAZY Summer. Moving, remodeling, yard work and lots of family time. It was BUSY BUSY BUSY! But still very fun! We love our new home out in the country!

Blueberry Picking

 

Always a favorite activity in the Summer time! Heidi likes it too so went together!!! Always fun times with the James' around!!!

July 4th

Another FABULOUS 4th of July! Beautiful weather, great company, great food and awesome fireworks! We LOVE this holiday!!!!!

Before the fun started I wanted to make sure to get a family photo. Callie snapped a few pics for us.

Probably my favorite picture of the day. These two KILL me. They are just so cute together. Wesley loves his cousin Avin so much. They get along so well. They are two peas in a pod!

Baylor spent a large portion of his day trading Garbage Pail Kids with Cohen, Nathan and Cody. These boys are OBSESSED! When they weren't trading, Baylor was walking around with his binder under his arm!

Bentley was loving the flags. He got much pleasure out of waving the flags and hitting people with them. He is quite the stinker these days. He gets away with it though... just look at that face!

Could Ivrie be any cuter?? No!

Pool time with the Foltz family... our docters. :)

It was so awesome having the James Family in town for the 

4th this year!!

All I wanted was a picture of the three boys in their matching swimsuits. Is that too much to ask?! YES! Yes it was. Oh well... this is the best I got!

The day gets better and better as it goes on.... Dessert time might be as good as the firework show!

Kid fireworks at the Mays before we head over to the Foltz for the big show. This part of the day is cute, but tends to stress me out a little. Tons of kids and fire just doesn't seem like a good combo... but, that's what the 4th is all about!

Out of all the fun that was had, Baylor said playing in the Sandbox at the Foltz was his favorite. These boys were digging their little hearts out. 

San Diego

I had the best time in San Diego with my friends so when I got home I booked a getaway to San Diego with Logan!! We had the BEST time!!! Sun, sun and more sun! We loved it!! Our anniversary was a week prior so this was a good Anniversary celebration! 9 years!

First stop- Mission Beach. 

We looked up the time it takes to get to Disneyland from San Diego and it was only an hour and a half away... that was just way too close to pass up! We got up early and drove to Disneyland on the second day of our trip. We were so glad that we did! OF COURSE we had so much fun!!!

I love being married to someone who appreciates fun little details like I do! Toon Town is always great for that!

Logan wanted to take this picture for the boys!

 They would love this. 

This glowing castle and the fireworks above it- It doesn't get much better then that! One day was a tease! We can't wait to take the boys someday!!

Coronado Beach was my favorite when I came with my friends. SO PRETTY! We both took some nice naps on the beach! We LOVED riding bikes along the beach and through the cute town. The houses in Coronado are absolutely darling! And bonus- many of them were all decked out for the 4th of July. 

 I love the Coronado Hotel... I like pretending like I'm actually staying there. Makes me feel fancy! 

That night we went to Historic Old Town. Old Town is AWESOME!  Dinner was delicious too. 

On Sunday morning we went to the Mormon Battalion. Afterwards we visited the Temple.

Breathtaking Temple! It doesn't even look real it's so pretty!!!

Lunch at In-n-Out. We LOVE this place! Although, I don't think it would taste as good where we live!

 On our last day we wanted to visit Mission Beach one last time. We could NOT BELIEVE how BAD the parking was. It took us 45 MINUTES to find a parking spot. That is not an exaggeration we timed it! We felt like we won the lottery when we found a parking spot!!! We were so happy to get about an hour of laying on the sand in before we had to head to the airport!!

We LOVED our trip to San Diego! I would be happy to go there twice a year every year... or more!!!
