San Diego

We were lucky enough to finally get a vacation. Dal's wondeful parents took the whole family to San Diego for a week. We got to stay in an amazing beach house. This is just a glimpse of our awesome week. The drive wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We slept most of the way and Jaiden was wonderful! He was pretty hilarious. His favorite thing to do was point out all the trains and tracks along the way. Way too exciting!
Our first day on the beach. The fam decided to take a stroll to check out the local beach and it turned out to be wetter than we hoped for. All the cousins were soaked and in heaven.

I'm so blessed to have such wonderful boys in my life! They are way too cute!

We made stops at Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. So much fun, yet so exhausting.

Sea World has a Sesame Street area that Jaiden loved. He saw his opportunity to meet Elmo and almost had a heart attack. I've never seen him so excited in his life.

I would love to turn this next set of photos into a flip book. Jaiden ran to Elmo and Abby.

I love my handsome little peanut! He was too cute and didn't want to leave after his photo.

Dal, Jacers, and Jaiderbug.

I thought this ride would make Jaiden sick but everytime they passed by Dal kept calling to me that Jaiden was yelling, "FASTER!!"

My little Lucha Libre.

Jaiden really wanted a baby polar bear.

Our last day. I think we were all worn out. It was so nice to get away and spend time with the family. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life and I love everyone of them.

Face Paint

My friend, Kristy, threw a carnival themed party for her 1-year-old and I was lucky enough to be able to paint faces during it. I had so much fun. All the kids were adorable. I got to paint kitty and puppy faces, a tiger, princess eyes, butterflies, and the very popular Spiderman. Jaiden was the most difficult to paint. He wanted a little spiderweb, then he wanted a blue face. So, here's my little spider-Smurf.
After all the kids got their turns, it was mine. I let Jaiden paint all over me. Somewhere on my face is a basketball.

Mr. I NEED A NAP. What a fun Saturday.

4th of July

Dal got the chance to walk in a parade on the 4th with some of his co-workers from the sheriff's office. We had a blast waiting for him to walk by. I felt very pregnant in the heat and I think this photo shows it. Jaiden loved the parade more than I thought he would. He about had a heart attack when he saw the Kung Fu Panda float roll by. He got a ton of candy and loved all the other things that went by. He loved spending some time with his Gigi(my mom).

What a handsome guy! He looked like he was having fun.

Jaiden was so entranced by everything else going on that he didn't even see his Dad standing right in front of him. Finally, he looked up and said, "Hey Dad!" with a big grin. What an awesome 4th of July! We had so much fun with friends and family!
