San Diego

We took a really quick vacation to San Diego last week before school started again. We left on Friday and were back home Monday night. It was to fast but gave us time to everything we wanted and to spend some time together. We went to Sea World and the Zoo and spent a little while at the beach. We spent time with Colin's dad and family and the highlight of the weekend for Colin was probably driving his dad's 'stang. He was in heaven I'm pretty sure:-)

This was just after we took off. Before we reached 10,000 feet we were struck by lightning. That's right folks. Lightning! We could see it come out the other side of the plane through this very window. Let me say that I hate flying and I was not a happy camper. It was quite the experience.


Now some pictures for your viewing....




The walrus was HUGE. I still can't get over it.

Colin won Kenny & Cartman in the gaming center and since we are not so fond of being in pictures we decided they would take our place the rest of the day. It was pretty entertaining.



His Dad's OTHER super fun car :-)


The nugget's first monkey. We couldn't leave and not get him anything!







It was such a fun trip and we're so grateful to his Dad for everything he did.

BLUE nugget & Graduation

I actually have pictures to post today! Woohoo! Big thanks to Colin's family for taking them and letting me steal them. Since I posted on facebook that we're having a BOY!!...Most everybody knows already. But it's a boy!!! Yay! We're so darn excited. My doctor said he thought it was a girl at our last appointment and it had me all stressed out because deep down I was so sure it was a boy. Girls are sweet but I have a feeling I'm destined for boys:-) And apparently I can't upload pictures of the little guy:-( Anyone know if blogger uploads tif files??
Next, I'm proud to announce that my husband is brilliant! Most that know him already know that but we've got a certificate to prove it now. He's just finished the police academy. Finally! I actually get to SEE him now. He was going to work at eight and not home until after nine most days. But he worked so hard and graduated top of his class!

This is just for fun but all my utah followers that listen to Kbull have probably heard this guy. DJ Coyote. He is an officer by day and DJ by night which I think is pretty awesome! He gave Colin his award and super fly belt buckle.

Taking the oath...


Colin's dad and half sister were able to come out for the graduation and stay a couple days.

We spent the rest of the weekend with his dad, sister, brother and his family.
