August San Diego Trip

I know I go often but its like a drug to me, if I dont get to my hometown of San Diego frequently enough I start to go crazy. These were some of the highlights.One of Shad's favorite parts about Sea World is visiting with the Sesame Street characters

Shad getting ready for the 3D movie, which he hated.

Vistitng the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center in Old Town San Diego

Washing clothes to old fashioned way

Panning for Gold


Checking out the Tide Pools, all we found were hermit crabs but he was happy with that as you can see.

Shad and Kai

My best friend growing up was Chelsea and to this day we are still best friends. Her son is about 4 months younger than Shad and to our surprise and great pleasure they are becoming best friends too. These are some pictures of them during their last trip here. We just love how they could not be any more physically opposite. Kai has dwarfism so is obviously stocky and Shad is skinnier than skinny so I just love seeing them together.Enjoying a movie together, it was probably Cars

At a friends birthday party


Watching Cars 2 for the first time (Cars is both their favorite movie so this was much anticipated)

Shad is 3! (playing catch up)

Shad is still very much into Lightning McQueen so naturally we had a cars birthday. We celebrated with the family on his birthday then again later with his friends.

Once a Trimester?

I am noticing that my usual schedule is posting once a trimester since I just slid into my last trimester of pregnancy. The first trimesters two were ok, not a whole lot to complain about. Where I am right now on the other hand is a different story, I am so uncomfortable about 60% of the time and that percentage going up everyday. I did start doing water aerobics and that had kept me alive. As much as I hate exercising, I sincerely look forward to getting in that pool, despite that fact that I have to put on a swim suit. I am about half way into my 28th week and thought I would post a pic, Thanks again Stacy for taking our family photos, I love how they turned out.
