Pacifica & Pier 39

We enjoyed a fabulous trip to San Francisco last weekend. My mom and dad got a new toy hauler (trailer) and we needed to take it out on a maiden voyage before our trip to Pismo next month. Mom booked reservations at an RV park in Pacifica. We had the most glorious view!





We enjoyed the sites of San Francisco...




and Bryson had his first Carousel ride at Fisherman's Wharf.



Mmm, cotton candy!



Exhausted.



Back at home, enjoying the sunset.



View from inside our trailer with the back open.



Bryson's first push pop. What a mess!



Our last day there...we love Pacifica!

Precious Pics

Not much to blog about today...but here's some cute pictures.

Happy Birthday Eloise!

On Saturday we celebrated my Grandma Eloise's 94th Birthday. She is an endearing woman who inspires all of us to live a long and happy life...and don't forget your manners and thank you cards!



A shot of all of us enjoying a video of Eloise's life, made for her by Aunt Cathie and Uncle Art for a previous birthday ( I want to say 81st?).




Happy Birthday Grandma!



Karson's son, Jayden, fell in love with my Cousin Karen. He didn't leave her side the whole day. Kari looks just like Eloise did when she was younger. Such beautiful genetics.



My dad with Eloise. Although we're not "blood" related (Eloise is my dad's step mother) we might as well be.



Karson and I with our Grandma.



My dad's sister Dorothy (Aunt Dottie) and Uncle Jim. Our gracious hosts. They put on a great party!



A photo of when we were much, much younger.

We're Pregnant!

Announcing baby #2. Due July 26th, 2009. Bryson's Birthday is July 25th, so they'll be exactly 2 years apart, just like my brother and I. We are around 11 weeks along and we are overjoyed. Everything is looking healthy and normal. I had a little nausea in the beginning but that seems to have subsided. Now I'm just tired and enjoying napping with Bryson. We are so excited to be adding to our ever growing family. I wanted to tell everyone sooner, but you know me...I can't blog without a picture.

Bryson's First Haircut

Mom, stop screaming...yes, we finally cut off Bryson's beautiful curls last night. It was a sad, sad, day...but we knew it had to be done. He was looking like a rag a muffin. I knew as soon as we cut them, they would be gone. I will miss them dearly.

I tied his curls in a small ponytail and made the cut. He didn't know what was going on.



Me holding his curls in my hand. They're going straight into his baby box.



Brett took over from there, being as he knows more about hair cutting than I do. He did a great job!



Here's Bryson this morning. Looking like such a big boy. I think it looks nice, even though his "baby-ness" is almost gone. It'll be okay. Sniff sniff :(
