Everyday Life

Malia loves going outside, unfortunately it is very hot here too much of the year and I don't like to go out and sit in the heat. We don't have enough grass to let her just go out and wander so she just stares out the back door and longs for the outdoors.

One of Dylon's many accidents, and so many more to come I'm sure!

St George

Back in the spring Dwayne had a long weekend so we went up to our favorite vacation spot. We're lucky enough that we have a great place to stay which makes it even better. Our little kiddos LOVE swimming, I still haven't taken the chance to put Dylon in swim lessons but it definately needs to happen sooner than later.

Getaway part II

I neglected to mention that we went to the San Diego Temple in the last post. We were also lucky enough to go there while we were in the area. So BEAUTIFUL!! If you are ever in San Diego make sure you make time to go there, it will be worth it.

Getaway

Back in March over Dwayne's break we were lucky enough to have his mom come down to stay with the kiddos while we went on vacation to San Diego. It was only the second time that I've ever been there; the first being very brief when I was 12. It seems to be the weekend getaway spot for most people who live here in Phoenix. One of Dwayne's classmates had a timeshare in Carlsbad so we were able to take the last half of the week after they left. It was so nice!! Anyway while were were in San Diego we were able to go to the Midway (very cool if you have the chance to go there when in that neck of the woods), Coronado Island, and Sea World.

Pictured below we are on the beach on Coronado Islands Navy base; it was a perfect, quiet, beach. The Midway was huge, obviously you can tell by all the planes and helicopters on it. The Helicopter pictured is the kind that Dwayne rode while in Afghanistan to get from base to base. Notice Dwayne in the bunk...can you imagine sleeping in that? Can we say claustrophobia! The statue of the couple kissing of course is iconic of wars from the past. It was very funny to people watch in that spot, most people that would go up to get pictures would look up the girls skirt...would you have? I wonder what they thought they would find up there? I guess it is natural for a boy to want to look up a girls skirt though! lol ;)

The Sea World pics are pretty self explanatory. It was fun to see they shows, the only sad thing is that the dolphin show wasn't going. They are building a new stadium for the dolphins. I guess that means we'll just have to go back later with the kids, that way we can go to Lego Land too.

MIA

So we have been "missing in action" for the last few months. I've really dropped the bomb on blogging. I've started a few and never finished them. I just thought no one was really paying any attention anyway so it didn't matter. Then I started getting comments from family and some friends that the "cow tongue" was still up and I needed to post something else. I've been in a bit of a "funk" the last few months which is the cause of the lack of posts. Well, so here is to another try at blogging.

This is just a snipit at what should be coming. Malia is almost a year now, hard to believe. This is just us hanging out in our backyard a few weeks ago (before the 100 degree weather really hit, we would not be doing this now!) Dylon is posing for the picture which is a hard thing to get him to do these days. I love his smile, what a cutie.
