More from our trip to Utah and California

Swimming with Grandma Gloria


We love California! We couldn't get enough of the beach down there- it made us excited to move back there!

Ty and I out 'surfing'- I, of course, did not catch any waves- or even paddle for that matter- but it felt so good to just sit out there on a board and enjoy the ocean. I wish this was a side shot so you could see how ridiculous I looked trying to balance with this watermelon I'm carrying around these days!

Doheny Beach


Mr. Mohawk...isn't he a dream boat?


All the girls decided to stay an extra week in Balboa after the men left to go back and work. We had dogs and s'mores on the beach for dinner one night- it was a blast.


Snarfing down the dogs with Grandma Miriam

Betsy was the s'more MASTER! She made this contraption with hangers so she could hold it in the fire and let the chocolate melt onto the roasted mallow...mmmm

Owen after loving his first s'more

The trip wouldn't have been complete without eating at the Crab Cooker!

It was so fun to see friends and family at home. Thank you to everyone for coming to showers and making the time to visit with us! We're happy to be back in London and now are just getting ready for little Mr. Handsome to come!!

Em,
Nanette sent me an invite to ur shower and I was so hoping I could have come! I had to work that night before and the night of and the following night- graveyards...yucky yucky!! But I still was going to find a way to get in touch with you while you were here. I was shocked when I saw your post that you were back home! Time flies way too fast. I know you probably don't even care, but I really was bummed that I didn't get to see you, give you a hug and see your cute belly. =( Give me a heads up on your next trip so that I can see you and meet your Mr. Handsome! When are you due again? Too many pregos to keep track! =) U are too cute!!
