"To Infinity and Beyond!"

One of these days I will update my blog from the last year, but for now here is a picture of Scott and Cohen at DISNEYLAND!!! Woot Woot!

Our California Adventures!

Here are the pictures from our trip to California for Thanksgiving!

The day after we got there we went to Huntington Beach! It was a chilly day, but nice enough for shorts! We ate at our favorite place, TK Burger!

Cohen didn't know what to think of the crashing waves and breeze on his face! He had had it after about a minute!
But once he discovered the SAND, he was so excited to play!

Building Cohen's first sandcastle!

My California boy!We knew it was time to go when Cohen was clinging to Scott and wouldn't let go because his feet were too frozen from the cold water and cool air!

One morning, a couple days later, three of Michelle's girls joined Cohen and Scott in on our bed for story time! I thought it was really cute, until Cohen got jealous and laid on Scott to shield him. He didn't want to share his daddy! I don't blame him. :)

We went to Disneyland!
In this pic I am just trying to keep a hold of Cohen while we waited in line. He actually did really well and we didn't have too many long lines.

Our group was all able to fit on one boat for It's A Small World!
Scott's three sisters, Stephanie, Tracy and Michelle, Michelle's husband Joe, the girls are Michelle's and the boys are Steph's.

These next couple pictures make me laugh! We were on It's A Small World and Cohen looks pretty worried about our surroundings!

Just monkeyin' around!

Cohen didn't seem to know what to think!

Cohen sat with Tracy on the Jungle Safari!

Tracy was so much help to all of us throughout the day! There were 9 adults and 9 kids, even though the numbers were even, it didn't feel that way!

He was so excited about all the animals!

Cohen was so exhausted from the day that he looked asleep, but was just totally zoned!
I love Disneyland! We had so much fun, it was my favorite day! Cohen did really well on all of the rides, even the sudden drop in Pirates of the Caribbean! My favorite ride is Indiana Jones and Scott loved them all! I wanted to go everyday we were there!

The next morning he had recovered and was ready for another day of fun!

The day before we left we went down to San Marcos, where Stephanie (Scott's sister) and Mike live, and went to the beach. It was a beautiful day, couldn't have asked for better weather! We really loved the area as well! It was really nice.
Cohen just playing with his Daddy!

Cohen just loved the beach, he was so happy there!

Boogie boarding babe!

Playin' a little soccer!Scott and Joe were CRAZY and went swimming!

Reflecting...

I took the pictures!

All the kids got together and made this huge sandcastle!

Cohen loved his juice box!

We had a bonfire on the beach and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for dinner! So fun! Although, Cohen kept running off, so I didn't sit by the fire much!

There is nothing like watching the sun set on the ocean...

Here is a video of me following Cohen around at the beach!

I turned 25!!! Happy Birthday to me! :)

The weekend before my 25th Birthday (October 10th) Scott and I had a night of our very own in Park City! This is the first time we have gone away together since Cohen was born 16 months ago. Needless to say, we were so excited!
I did have a hard time leaving Cohen and when we dropped him off to Kay, who was keeping him until my mom was finished with work, I cried and actually had second thoughts about going. As we drove off I cried more and Scott being the supportive husband that he is just told me that is was okay to cry if I needed. I think that is something he learned throughout our years of miscarriages. But as we drove to Park City I got so excited about actually having time to ourselves!
Here we are at dinner at the Westgate Grill!

We stayed at the Westgate Resort and had the nicest room! It had a full kitchen...

Upstairs game room overlooking the family room with a fireplace...
"Hi SCOTT!"

King sized bed with a double jetted tub and steam shower...
And to our surprise, out on the balcony was our own private hot tub!
Here is Scott waiting for me to join him! :)

Relaxing watching Seinfeld in our "robes" (say it with your nose in the air.)

We were so excited to wake up the next morning to the first snow fall of the season! It was so romantic snuggling in bed together watching it out our window! (Insert GAG noises here when it applies! :)) Everyone in Park City was ecstatic about it... (the snow, not our romanticness). Scott and I had some reservations...
Lick it! Lick it!
I felt the need to wear my combat boots!

Later that morning we reluctantly checked out of our retreat and headed to Main Street for some lunch!

We ate at a delicious pizza place.
Lemons! I love lemons!

Here is my wonderful husband wondering why his wife subjects him to pictures everywhere he goes... "IT'S FOR THE BLOG!" I tell him.

We stopped at the Love Your Pet Bakery and Boutique and I fell in love with their pets! They have four HUGE Newfoundland dogs that were so sweet and gentle and and made my dogs look like rats with the same type of spazy energy as rodents, especially Lilly!

One day I want a huge dog that I can use as a pillow! Or a horse in this case!

The longer we were in Park City the longer we wanted to stay and play and just be together. We ended up coming home anyway and were very excited to see our sweet baby waiting for us at his Grandmommy's! Thanks Mom for keeping him! You can anytime!

Here are a couple pics from my birthday! (October 13th)
Scott took me out to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe (YUM!) and then I spent the afternoon shopping with my mom! That night all my family went out without the kids (Rocky and Megan kept Cohen for us, thanks again!!!) to PF Changs. Then for dessert we grabbed Cohen and went back to Kay's house!
My mom's boyfriend makes the best apple pie! I requested it for my birthday and he was sweet enough to slave all day and make it! Thanks Kay!

Happy 25th Birthday to ME!!!
Weird... I am old! I still feel the age I was when Scott and I first met... 19!

Cohen loved the ice cream! He just slurped it right up!
I had a great birthday and I am sure this will be a great year as well!!!

Conference Weekend Ranch Trip

We have had a really exciting!!! and busy month! Our wireless router is not working so I haven't been able to update my blog since the first of the month. To be on online I have to sit in our cold basement, which obviously I haven't had enough drive to do, but now I have become so desperate with desire to update our blog that I am...

Over Conference weekend we spent 4 days at Scott's cousin's Ranch in Capital Reef. If anyone has been following my blog for more than a few months you know we make an escape there whenever possible and we are invited. We LOVE the Ranch and really enjoyed the relaxing weekend eating good food and listening to the wonderful Conference talks with family and friends.
And bonus! Cohen was wonderful and slept great while we were there!
Thanks again for letting us share in your weekend Shregan and Rads!

Cohen enjoying some chicken noodle soup!
(And tomatoes and pears... I know random, but he likes them!)
We just loved this cat that their neighboring family owns. He followed us around the entire time we were there. I wanted to bring him home, but Izzy and Lilly would never allow that in our tiny house!
Tree swing! Weee! Our beautiful boy!
Tickle, tickle!
The mountain hills by the Ranch were covered in GOLD from the aspen trees. It was so beautiful! We went up the near by canyon to explore!

It was a beautiful day!
Horsies!!!
We ate, we slept, we laughed, we listened, we enjoyed, we had to go home... boo hoo!
