A Grueling San Diego Seminar

Ryan's work sent him to a seminar in San Diego and thanks to a babysitter and 2 sets of grandparents,
I got to go with him!
So, while Ryan was in class I took naps, exercised, read a book and lounged by the pool.
Then, we had the evenings to eat (Indian buffet), go to the beach, eat (Japanese) , snorkel, eat (Paninni), do sealings at the temple, and of course, eat (greasy Mexican).
It was awesome! (oh, and some Chinese too).

Here's Ryan trying out his new toy.

Nothing he loves better than being in the waves.

Here's my attempt to get a picture of us together at the beach.

Due to my growing belly, I didn't do much except read.

I didn't mind one bit!

Did I mention that we went out to eat A LOT!

Here's us at some Hawaiian bbq in Encinitas.

Here's our sweet ride with the SUP on top.

We finished off the trip with some snorkeling in LaJolla Cove.

Had to rent a wetsuit that would accommodate by 6 month pregnant tummy.

Johnson/Beals Camping Trip

Went up to "dee Reem" (as Ryan would say) near Canyon Creek to do some camping with our good friends the Beals. It's nice to get out of the desert now and then and remember that Arizona does have trees and cool mountain air. I can't believe we were wearing sweatshirts and huddled around a campfire at night! I'm melting as I write this at home in 100 + degrees!

Day Camp

Caleb was soooo excited to be invited to his first ever Scout Day Camp!

He's technically still 7 years old, but they let him slide in since his birthday is this summer.

The first day they gave all the boys an orange camp t-shirt and told them that their moms are NOT ALLOWED to wash it for the 3 day event. I'm fine with that since I didn't have to carpool the boys to or from the event! His favorite event of the camp was archery.

Go Aquabats!

Caleb & Eli have been working so hard at swim team.

They are great swimmers and are really building their endurance,

gettin' tan and getting better at all 4 strokes.
They both like Butterfly and Freestyle the best.
