This is why girls are so much fun!

I loooove curling Avery's hair, however, it can be a hassle. She moves her head around a lot and she tries to touch the dang curling iron. But among all that, I decided to curl for church last Sunday and I just love it. It's so cute and she felt so "pitty". It's things like this that make having a girl sooo much fun!

San Diego!!!!!

This past weekend, we went to San Diego with our friends the Conders! We went to Sea World, the Zoo, the beach, and we toured a huge Navy battle ship that was operating during WWII and took a stroll down the pier. I absolutely love our family vacations. It was definitely a must this year. With Erik starting Dental school in a week and a half and a baby on the way, we definitely needed this trip. It was really hard to come home. I didn't want to get back to real life :( But, if we can, we plan to head that way every year but next year, we'll try something new since we've done those two years in a row! Warning, picture over load and I didn't even down load them all cause I got sick of waiting for it! Enjoy........we had a blast!

Hanging out down at the pier. Avery and her cute friend Addison!

Getting Avery to smile for pictures is like pulling teeth. It rarely happens without a fight!

Avery was quite taken by the shark encounter. She loved it!

Avery's absolute favorite thing is the polar bears! So she loved this!

This was kind of funny cause she went running to Grover. She loooved him!

A day of fun tuckered this one right out!

Our good friends the Conder's

A guy came over to our table and made the girls balloon animals. They loved it!

The Navy ship we toured.

Our little jail birds!

This helicopter is similar to the one that took Erik and Brandon into Kuwait so it was fun to put the girls on it so they could be just like their daddy's!

No words, I just love the beach!

Ouch!!!

With this boy in my belly, I am in some pain! I seriously don't remember any of this with Avery. I tell myself maybe it's because I'm older. Well okay, I'm about three years older but should that really make that big of a difference? My back is killing me and not to be gross but my boobs are so big, they are causing the back pain! By the end of the day, I just want to lay flat and no longer be responsible for lugging those puppies around. Just the very idea of them getting bigger when they fill up with milk is making me cringe. (They didn't with Avery because I didn't make any milk!) They can't possibly and if they do, I am going to seriously be suffering and nothing will fit. I need a live in massage therapist. Sorry to rant but for real, this hurts :(

Happy birthday Erik and pioneer days!

First, happy birthday to my sweet husband who turned 29 on Monday! Apparently, he is turning four. See how there is only four candles? He was supposed to pick up a 2 and a 9 while he was at the store but he says he "forgot." I think he just didn't want to see those two numbers put together! Well, I love this man and I can't believe I've known him since he was 18! I made him one of his favs, carrot cake and I have to say, it turned out pretty tasty! I'll definitely be making that one again!

Avery is absolutely in love with this kid! She talks about him every single day!

Pioneer days was a blast! We got to hang out with some good friends, enjoy some fun entertainment and celebrate our Mormon pioneers!
