Park City and San Francisco

Every August we go to Park City to watch my nieces and nephews play soccer. Spencer had a friend here from France, David Folley, so we changed our plans a little, but still had plenty of time to watch some of the games. He was the one that showed us everything we wanted to see in Switzerland and France so we wanted him to enjoy his time here as much as possible. We stayed at the cabin of course! We went on a fun four wheeler ride to the top and got to see the mommy and baby moose. They are so cute! Spencer turned on the water to fill up the bucket that they have and they slowly got closer. They are so much fun to watch. It was a great relaxing weekend of watch soccer and doing a little shopping. 

Spencer and my brother Brian have always wanted to go to a NFL football game. This is the last year that the 49ers will be playing at Candlestick Park so this was the last chance. They planned it just in time before the baby came. They had a great time even though the trip was short and sweet. Spencer sure does love his sports!

Yes.... that is a onesie for our new little guy. He will want to be just like daddy so we bought him an outfit to cheer on his favorite team.

San Diego

Spencer's family wanted to take a trip together this summer because it will be one of the only times that all the kids will be home at the same time. His sister Michelle is thinking about going on a mission and will leave before next summer. Then Taylor will leave the summer after that for his mission. I was 36 weeks pregnant, which is the last week they will let you fly while pregnant. It was a really fun trip with a lot of relaxing time on the beach. We built sand castles, dug holes, went surfing and boogie boarding, and enjoyed walking up and down the boardwalk. We stayed in a beach house that was 10 feet away from the beach. It was nice to be so close so we could come and go from the beach as we wanted to. Here are a few picture from the beach. 

One day we headed over to La Jolla Cove to see the sea lions. They were so funny to watch. They would get up on the sand and sit there for a few minutes. Then they would roll on their sides back into the water. Scott, Spencer's dad, said does that look familiar to you Jan? That is the only way I could get in and out of bed at the time so it was really funny. We got within 50 feet of them and I was in heaven!

Just a few more pictures at the beach....There were jelly fish every where and I think everyone took their turn getting stung at least once.

We took a little break from the beach to go to the famous San Diego Temple. It is so pretty inside and out. It was nice to go to the temple one more time before having Kaden. Who knows how much time we will have once he comes. 

Once the rest of the family left Spencer and I headed to the San Diego Zoo. I love the zoo and was so excited for it the whole trip. I was just glad that I wasn't too sore. I was able to walk around all by myself and see everything I wanted. My favorite are the koala bears! I know that they are usually asleep, but they are still so cute to look at.

We rode the sky coaster and I was joking about not getting on if we didn't get one with a koala bear on the side. Yup, sure enough that is a koala bear on the side. We were laughing so hard! 

After we were done at the zoo we went and checked in at our hotel. We were right on the harbor and it was such a pretty view. We spent our time relaxing walking up and down the pier, going to Little Italy for dinner, and ate the most amazing dessert at Extraordinary Desserts. We said it was our last little fling before the baby came.

Trevor is Home!

I am playing blog catch up again for the next couple of posts. I feel like there were somethings I just didn't want to leave alone without writing about them. Spencer's brother got home from Ecuador on July 16th. During high school he pretty much wore whatever he wanted to and didn't care what other people thought about it. Spencer and his other little brothers decided that he would be funny to wear it to the airport when he came home. He has been funny to listen to as he has gotten used to how things were before he left. He only wanted to take cold showers, couldn't walk on the tile because it was too cold, couldn't walk up the stairs because they seemed unsteady, didn't want to drink water out of the tab because it wasn't clean, and wanted to know what was wrong with the rice and beans that we got from Cafe Rio. He is slowly getting back into normal life and it has been so fun to have him home again. It is times like these that I am glad that I went to Germany on my mission and still had most of the things we have here in America. Welcome home Trevor!
