Sunset at the Beach

On our last night in Carlsbad we drove down to the pier to watch the sun set. It was beautiful and we snapped a few pics of our family.

Our trip to the Beach..

In June we went to Carlsbad for a few days and stayed at a 4 star hotel right by the beach (thanks to Priceline). We took the kids to Legoland one day and the rest of the time we relaxed at the beach and by the beautiful pool. The kids had a blast and it was relaxing for Daniel and I as well. Legoland wasn't too busy and the weather was a perfect 70 degrees.

Mason's Baptism

Mason was baptised on July 5th by Daniel. This was such a joyous occasion for our family! How blessed I am to have a worthy husband to baptize our son! My family from Utah came and spent the weekend. What a miracle to watch his spirit grow and blossom through the years. On Sunday he bore his testimony for the first time in Sacrament meeting. It was a great joy to hear all that he has to share. His testimony is a great example to me. Congratulations Mason!

Mason turned 8!

My little big boy turned 8. Where has the time gone? Such a huge milestone for him! It seams like I blinked and he grew up. Mason is our smiling storm. Very passionate about life, which at times can be hard to live with but he is always cracking us up. We love you, son!

Brody Crawling

When Mason was a baby he crawled like a little stink bug and we thought it was the cutest thing. Well we were blown away when Brody started crawling the exact same way. Is it coincidence or genetic? I'm not sure but it cracks us up! Here is a short video clip of him doing his thing.

Emma Hilton

Emma was on my desk and found these sunglasses that were here Nyny's.(Daniel's mom) I grabbed the camera and took pictures of my own little "Superstar".

Strawberries....Yummy!

Mason had a field trip to an oraganic produce farm in June. We had lots of fun riding on the tractor and sampling all the yummy fruits and veggies. At the end of the tour we had an all you can eat for 15 minutes on the strawberries! There were sooo good right off the vine. The kids were sick afterwords but enjoyed every minute.

It's Been a Crazy...Busy...Summer!

So I've been on a blogging hiatus..not because I'm lazy but we really have been busy. This summer has flown by and I have lots to post. With school starting in a week I'm ready for some sort of routine to return to this craziness! :D
