Flashback Friday!

A friend does this on her blog and I hope she doesn't mind if I steal it because it is a cute idea. I'll post an old photo with a description every friday just for fun and to relive some good memories. So here is the first one, it is a picture of Will and I the day we met. I was 17 and he was 20. this was taken at his parents house in Felton, CA. I was friends with his sister and he was in town visiting for a few days so we spent some time together. We actually didn't start dating until 2 years later.

New baby pool

I got Rachel a baby pool for the summer and I thought she would love it since she loves bath time so much but she played for about 5 min and was done. Maybe it was the cold hose water that she didn't like. This picture is her with her cousin Cory.

My cousin's wedding

We went to St. George for my cousin Kim's wedding this last weekend and it was a bit of a crazy day. I was a bridesmaid along with my cousin Michelle and two of Kim's friends. First of all the dress didn't fit right which is not a big surprise. Isn't that the case with most bridesmaids? Then the wedding was supposed to start at 11am but Kim wasn't ready, she was still doing her hair and makeup so everyone had to wait around for two hours before she finally showed up. Then the reception wasn't until 7pm so we went back to the hotel and changed and just hung out in our room for a few hours. I wanted to go swimming but Rachel needed a nap and I didn't want to risk messing up my hair. So at 7pm we went to the reception and had dinner then lite dancing. Have I mentioned that my shoes were killing me! I finally gave in and danced barefoot. The reception was short and fun because Kim was 30 min late (no surprise). I swear that girl can't be on time for anything. She and her new hubby were supposed to catch a plane from Vegas that night and fly to florida because the next day they were getting on a cruise for their honeymoon. Well they missed their plane so they missed their cruise. luckily they worked it out so they could catch a plane to the Cayman Islands to catch up with the cruise. It was quite an eventful weekend.

Lovin' San Diego!

Here is our trip to San Diego! We drove down and met up with my family at a condo in Oceanside. It was a really nice place for a low price. Much better than renting a hotel room for a week. It was great to be by the ocean again, only a few blocks to walk.
We went to most of the typical tourist things. The Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World and Legoland. We also toured the city of San Diego and did a session at the San Diego Temple.
Rachel loved to see all of the animals, she would point and say their name every time she saw one. If she didn't know the name of it she would call it doggy. She even learned to say some of the animal sounds. She can Moo, Meow and quack.
The weather was awesome, in the 70's all week. We are glad we went when we did because it was snowing in Utah while we were gone.
We were so sad to hear about Heather's dad passing away but we were greatful for the opportunity to visit with the family in Apple Valley on our drive back even for just a few hours.
This was such a wonderful vacation, we had a blast and would probably do it again. I think my family enjoyed it even more because they got to spend a whole week playing with Rachel.
