Emma Pearl turns 9 today!

Nine years ago after 17 hours of labor and 3 and a half hours of pushing Emma Pearl came into our family. She is such a joy in our family and has so many wonderful talents. We love her and are thankful to have her forever! Happy birthday Pearl girl!

San diego!

We went to San diego last week and had a fun time other than Brig screeching throughout the whole trip. The day we got there we drove up to the temple. I love the San diego temple, it is so beautiful. We walked around the grounds a little and then drove downtown to where our hotel was, we could check in yet so we walked down on the waterfront for a while. Jack loved seeing all the big boats. Finally we checked in and relaxed a bit, we decided to walk downtown to find dinner and found a yummy pizza place and wasn't crowded, which was nice with Brig screeching all the time! Then we went to ghiradelli (sp) chocolate shop, smelled so yummy when you walked in.

2nd day- Sea world, had a blast and got soaked at the dolphin show! Sunburned!

3rd day-Nathan went to his conf and we hung out at the pool, Nathan got back and we went down to the beach for the afternoon, went to a little taco shop downtown and then headed back to the hotel. Went to seaport village and ate dinner and shopped. Sunburned!

4th day- Nathan to his conf, took the kids to horton plaza, long walk up the hill, ate lunch went to mission beach with smelly seaweed allover the beach. Went to Seaport village again that night and had fish tacos (yum). Sunburned!

5th day-Went with Nathan over to Coronado island where is conf is and played on the beach there, it was beautiful. Left for home

We had a nice trip and the kids were great other than the screeching! Until next time!

San diego here we come!

On our way to San diego tomorrow morning at 4am, yuck! I will post pictures and stories when we get back! Wish me luck with Brig in the car and at Sea world. Until next time!

4th of July weekend!

We went up to north phx last weekend to see my parents new home. They have a pool so the kids swam most of the time, except Brig he was only allowed to in the evenings. We relaxed and went to see Ice Age on Sat. then Sat night we had pizza and chocolate cake with my brother and his family and my parents while watching the fireworks from a distance. We were able to go to the temple friday morning, such a neat place. Had a nice weekend although when I got my camera out to take pictures the battery was dead, hence the pictureless post. Until next time!
