La Jolla.... Day 4

We headed back to Sea World today so that Caeden could see the few things he missed the first day. :) He enjoyed running around the new Sesame Street play area and was even impressed that his pregnant mommy climbed the rope nets with he and Daddy. But his very favorite part was getting the opportunity to touch the dolphins and the sting rays. He was so fascinated by their feel, he would have jumped in both tanks if we had we let him. :) By the time he was done with the sting rays he was soaked from head to toe and took one look at himself and said, "I am all WET!" It is so fun to watch children as they experience life! I am so grateful to be the mommy of such a fantastic little man! Thank you God for a great getaway and for your magnificiant creation of animals and ocean alike, I am in awe of you!!

La Jolla... Day 3

We were able to have a very relaxing day. Slow morning, early afternoon naps and then a cool overcast afternoon at the beach. Caeden loved chasing the sea gulls, climbing the rocks, running on the sand with Daddy and playing in the water with Mommy. How can you not love San Diego? This has been a perfect vacation for us!!!

La Jolla... Day2

We had a nice casual morning at home yesterday and Daddy made eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then we drove alongside the ocean to get to Sea World. The park was open from 10 am to 6 pm and we stayed from 10 to 5. It was a very fun filled day and Caeden did great even with out a nap. Through out the day he would ask to see the park map so he could tell us where he wanted to go next. I think he really enjoyed getting to be "in charge." He was his daddy's boy at the park as he analyzed every animal and encounter. He liked to sit and just watch each of the animals with out saying much of anything. As we ask him what his favorite part was about the day it keeps changing so I am pretty sure he liked the whole thing. At the end of the day we told him it was time to go because we had seen all the animals. He said, "let me see the map." He looked and then said, "No, we haven't seen these yet." He was right the only animal we skipped was the sting rays and he spotted it. :) We bought 2 days of tickets so we will most likely return tonight or tomorrow for another visit. This morning when the fog lifts we will head to the beach!! Yeah, one of mommy's very favorite things!!!

La Jolla... Day 1

We are having a fantastic time here in La Jolla!!! We are staying in an adorable beach home. We were able to walk to the ocean from our place today and we had a blast down at the water!!! Caeden rolled and rolled in the sand and chased the waves. He is a lover of the ocean like his mama. The weather is gorgeous and we are enjoying our family time!! Tomorrow will be Sea World, and Caeden is so excited!

Construction underway

Yeah, construction was able to take place today. Jay and Uncle Mark did a fantastic job cutting all of the ground work and preparing the ceiling for the walls to go up. Tomorrow they will begin work on the electrical things that need to get done to have the room function as a 3rd bedroom. Caeden was very intrigued by the process and helped out too.

Show Low with friends

Caeden and I took our friends up to my parents place in Show Low this week. We had a great time on long walks, playing at the park, going for a golf cart ride, and celebrating Ella's 2nd Birthday. Ella and Caeden are 11 months apart and could pass for siblings but are really great buddies. They get to play a few times a week at the gym in "playland" while Heidi and I work out. It's a great gig!

Let's give it a go....

Hello to all of our favorite family and friends. We have enjoyed getting updates on our friends through this blog so we are going to give it a go too. Hopefully I (Kirstin) can stay on it. :)

The latest.... We are 21 weeks along with our next little munchkin. He has just started getting really active and it is so fun to feel him growing and moving around!! Jay and his Uncle Mark are going to start an add on in our house tomorrow. Our house was on the market for 7 months and we didn't get any bites so we are cutting our family room in half and are building a 3rd bedroom. It will take a little while to get the project finished but it's exciting to think that we really are preparing our lives to make room for one more little boy. :)

We are going to take a family vacation next week to La Jolla, California. We will do the beach and Sea World and we can't wait to have some down time together in cool weather. Caeden has been asking for the last week how many more days til' dolphins and sharks and penguins and whales. He is beside himself with anticipation!! We will attach some pics when we return.
