Yep that's right we live in Southern California and get to go to the beach in October. It was an absolutely beautiful day. This is the beach Randy is thinking about getting married on so I thought I would scope it out one more time for them. I really love this beach it is so beautiful, not very crowded (that could have to do with the fact that it is Oct.) and there are awesome tide pools to play in.
I went to the beach this week with my beautiful cousin who was visiting from Utah. Her little girl is about a year older than Ben but as you can see the LOVED playing together. Her little boy is a few months younger than Sam. I wish we lived by each other. :0( We miss you!!! Thanks for the visit and the super fun day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right before we moved we decided to make one last trip to the beach in Ventura. This was our first beach trip where it was actually warm. It will be nice to move further south where the weather is perfect for going to the beach.
My little men are so cute!!!
As you can see from all the pictures Ben had a great time exploring.
We decided to make it a beach day today. It ended up being a little cooler than I wanted it to be but what do you expect for May in Oxnard. I'm not comfortable at the beach unless it is in the upper 80s-90s. I'm not sure it even gets that warm here. Still it was fun being there watching all of the people, boats, and animals.
So as you can see I haven't been very good at keeping up on the blog. I use to always blog while Benjamin takes his nap, but for the last few months I have been napping while he does. It is nice to only have one child but no more naps for me once there are two. So anyways it is almost 10:30 at night and I'm just starting this post so I guess it won't end up being as long and detailed as I would like.
So here are a few highs and lows of the last two months.
We have had some days like this.
And some days like this.
And a few days like this.
My cousin was sealed with her family in the Redlands Temple in February. She asked me to take some pictures for them for their announcement. It was so much fun having them come out for a visit. I am so excited for her and her family! The pictures turned out really well I think. I wish I was a bit better at it and I wish I had a better camera. I guess practice, money, and maybe a few classes can take care of that. Here are some pictures of my family.
Aren't my boys cute!
Denny's did a special promotional deal after the Super Bowl. Everyone got a free Grand Slam breakfast. Even Benjamin! I love free food.
Benjamin got his first haircut on January 11th. It's much easier to get him to hold still when he's eating chocolate chips. It is just about time for another one, though.
Tom and I got to go to a Lakers game without Benjamin. It was nice to have a night out with my honey.
Sorry I don't have very many pictures but it is now 11 PM and to be honest I really don't have very many from the last 2 months. Life isn't all that exciting when your sitting on the couch all day long trying not to throw up. It has been 2 days since I have felt sick so I'm hoping that part is over. Sorry I don't have any belly shots yet. To be honest, I'm really not showing all that much. I am finally back up to my starting weight. I lost about 2-5 lbs the first few months. I don't mean to sound so down about the whole thing. I am really excited to be pregnant again. It has just been a long, hard road (though not as long and hard as some people's). Here is a sequence of events for you. If it is more info than you wanted just ignore it :0)
It was kind of a crazy 7 months. I hope the next few months will be nice and smooth.
