Dress Up!

We went to our stake msa activity (married student association) last Friday. It was western themed, so they had chili dogs, watermelon, homemade root beer and of course creamies for dessert (you can't go to an activity in Utah without having creamies for dessert, right?) They also had volleyball games, a roping contest, a pie eating contest, and of course, western pictures. So we dressed Rian up in a cute little red checkered dress, sat her up on top of a barrel of hay, and handed her the barrel of the gun...this was the outcome!

I Heart Hockey

Matt took up roller hockey again over the summer, since ice hockey isn't really popular in San Diego. He bought new skates and Rian loves playing with them...especially the laces. Believe it or not, she actually loves to watch her Daddy play. It's so cute!

It's Been FOREVER....

I know it has been forever, but I totally have a legitimate excuse. Here it goes....San Diego was crazy busy and it didn't help that we didn't really have computer access either. We have tons of pictures and updates that I will slowly get posted. We just got back to Logan last week and it has been a chore getting things in order before Matt goes back to school. Now that we have a little bit of time to relax, I can start blogging again!!! So keep coming back, I promise pictures will be up soon!

Happy 4th of July

We knew that Rian would really enjoy her first fireworks show!

Here she is raising her hand to the fireworks! She loved the lights and colors, but wasn't quite sure what to think of the loud noise.

Oooohhhh....

Aaaahhhh!

Wish You Were Here?

Wish you were here....we know you do!!! We took a little day trip down to La Jolla for the day. We mostly hung out by La Jolla Cove and the Children's Pool (better known as where the seals have called home). It was a beautiful day and the ocean was such a pretty color blue.

I missed the beach so much while we were in Utah!

Daddy and Rian. What a beautiful backdrop!

I totally took growing up in San Diego for granted...it wasn't until we moved that I realized how lucky we are to have grown up here!

Here's the Children's Pool. For those of you who don't know, it actually used to be a children's pool. Matt remembers swimming here before the seals arrived. Now it belongs to the seals, they took it over so they would have a safe haven from the sharks. When we were here, most of them were sunbathing, but a few were riding the waves and playing in the water (we couldn't get a good pic of that). There is a huge controversy over whether the city should let the seals continue to call the beach home or if they should give it back to the children. I say there a tons of beaches here in SD for the kids to play at, so why not let the seals stay. Besides the fact that they smell awful, it's always fun to see them.

I'm Walking (Sort Of)

Rian loves to walk (with help of course)! She always gets so excited to do it!

Rian's cousin Aurora, 4, is helping her walk.
