San Diego Girls Trip

I got to sneak away to San Diego last week to play with the girls and the kids for a few days. It's always fun to see my mom, Crystal, and my highly entertaining niece and nephew, but this time, we had a very fun addition with Crystal's sister in law, Jessie. We had lots of laughs, like when the missionaries showed up unannounced and were greeted at the door by Crystal in her bikini and came in to see Jess dancing in the pool... good times. Though some of the most memorable moments occurred while driving around in our borrowed oldsmobile, a.k.a. "the pimp-mobile," we also had fun days at the beach, the pool, and sea world. The weather was beautiful, as always, and it felt great to finally get some sun! While we were there, we also got to celebrate John-kai's graduation from law school - woo hoo!! If you're not overloaded on pictures after this post, Crystal and Jessie have some more pictures from the trip on their blogs.

Spring FINALLY made it's way to Utah... sort of


I've been meaning to post some spring pictures for the past few weeks, and now that I finally am getting around to doing that... it's raining again. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like spring came to Utah a little late this year. We had a lot of cold April days when I just wanted to get outside and play, but the weather seems to be cooperating with my plans a little better now. It finally warmed up enough that the flowers started blooming, so a few weeks ago, I went to the Thanksgiving Point gardens with some of Bryson's family. I have been wanting to go to their tulip festival for years, and I was not let down. It was a beautiful walk.

This week's pictures

Not much has been going on around here. Davis and I have been sick, so we've just been hanging out. I thought I'd post a few pictures from the past week.



My cute little froggy


This tongue is ALWAYS hanging out


Playoff season is officially upon us. Bryson is a HUGE Lakers fan, so this is mandatory attire. (It is not so popular here in Utah, but I think that makes him even more set on wearing it).


This would be Davis trying to tell you how he feels about non-Lakers fans
