Summer Catch-up

The next few posts will be a summer hodge-podge. Basically I will be playing catch up. So rewind back to May 26th-

Here was Sophie on her last day of K. My sweet, beautiful girl:

With the school year done we could now head off to Cali for family time and fun!

Here we are on our lovely 10 hr. car ride :) Actually our kids have turned into pretty amazing little travelers... with Ryan and I fully dedicated to our "traveling jobs." Ryan drives and I entertain the children. I always try to talk him into letting me give him a break, you know, I drive for awhile while he relaxes in the backseat with the kids... he never goes for it :)

p.s. Happy July 12th my husband! 11 years ago today we first met and gazed into each other's eyes across a backyard barbeque :)

10 year trip-Part 1

So last month we headed to Cali to visit family and celebrate 10 years of marital bliss :)

We couldn't wait to escape the cold of Utah and enjoy some real Spring weather.

Here we are... hello California!

Unfortunately California was having some unusually cold Spring weather the week of our visit. Luckily our destination would not include snow, only rain in abundance :) The picture above is on the pass (Tahoe area). We got stuck for about an hour... roads blocked because of dangerous weather conditions. Luckily we were stocked with snacks, blankets and good music.

Nothing could get Jack down, not even road blocks in the last couple hours of a 10hr. trip. In fact he was happy to be stuck for awhile. It meant freedom from the car seat!
