A Fun Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

Last weekend Brock's parents and his brother came out to visit. We had so much fun! We went to Old Town San Diego to see the Mormon Battalion Visitors Center, Legoland, Picnic in the park followed by a nature hike, and Coronado Island. What an amazing weekend. Can't wait for them to come back!

It was a beautiful day for a picnic and a hike!

2 Little Beach Bums

We have been having so much fun spending our time at the beach! Brock has 1/2 days on Fridays and we have been going to the beach every chance we get!


I could just sit and watch the wave crash for hours!!

Wild Life Park

Last weekend we went to the Wild Life Park, it's was free with our Zoo Membership. It's really cool! We're excited to go this Saturday because they are bringing in a new exhibit for the next few weeks call The Butterfly Jungle. Marissa is going to love it!
Watching the Gorillas were really cool!

Hmmm.....which way to go!?

Happy 5th Birthday Marissa!!!

On March 8 Marissa turned 5 years old! WHAT!?!? I know, I still can't believe it. We took a trip to Arizona the weekend before her birthday and had a party for her with everyone. It was a Hello Kitty Party. Thanks everyone for all the gifts, she loved them all!!!Marissa's Hello Kitty Cake. I made it with 2- 9" cakes, white frosting, jr mints for eyes, a jelly bean for the nose, and black licorice for the whiskers. So easy and I think it turned out great!Marissa's friend Colby. They always have so much fun together!

These books are so cute! She already had Pinkilicous, now she has all 3! Thanks Aunt Melissa and Uncle Gregory!!

It's time For an Update!!

Well, we've been here in San Diego for just over a month and we have had so much fun!! We love our new house and our neighborhood. There are parks all over the neighborhood and we are lucky enough to have one just across the street!! We've gone to Sea World (military families can go for free once a year!!), The San Diego Zoo, and the beach! You know what awesome about all of those is that they are 10-15 minutes away from our house!! We ended up getting a zoo pass for Marissa and I for the year, Owen is still young enough to get in for free and Brock gets in for free when he shows his military ID! It amazing how many places give deals for military families! Anyway enough talk time for pictures!!

Welcome to our home!

This is the view of the park from my room! The kids love it!!

One of Marissa's favorite exhibits, the Sting Ray and Bat Rays.

SAN DIEGO ZOO



Panda Bear, super cool exhibit!


Lion! I took a really cool picture before this one of it sitting up, super cool to see but when I got home and looked at the picture it ended up all fuzzy. Next time I'll take a better one.
