FINALLY...Good weather!

We are SO happy that the weather is getting so nice here. It is about this time of ear that we remember why we like it here! I have been going on a lot of walks with Taylor. We usually go to a little park right by our house. She really likes the swings. I think she could sit in them for a long time, I am usually done way before she is!

We were also lucky a couple of weekends ago to have Rob's sister Carol and her daughter Hannah come visit us. They are so good about making that drive down from Utah! It was just for a long weekend but we had a great time just hanging out. I love seeing Taylor play with extended family.

Fat Lip

Taylor is just an accident waiting to happen these days. She is constantly on the move and pulling herself up on everything which equates to falling all of the time. Last night she was playing by the fireplace hearth and, for the split second I wasn't looking, fell and busted her lip. It was the worst she had every screamed. Maybe even worse than when she fell out of the shopping cart. It was horrible. There was blood. Now she has this little fat lip that I see her licking with her tongue all day. I'm telling you I am so relieved when I put her down for the night to know that she is relatively safe and I don't have to be on edge waiting for her to hurt herself any second!

Like a second honeymoon...

A few weeks ago Rob and I got to get away on a little trip. It was our first time leaving Taylor and getting away just the two of us. It was hard to leave her. I am so used to being attached to her everyday, but it was GREAT to spend one on one time with my hubby. We left on a Monday and drove out to California. We got to spend a couple day with Rob's uncle and brother. On Tuesday we went to Knott's Berry Farm with his brother, Dave. We all realized how old we are when we were done after a few hours and our bodies were hurting! So sad. I just remember being younger and you could run around an amusement park all day! Needless to say we had to take a nap after that and then Rob and I went to this great Farmer's market right there in Huntington Beach. It was so fun. They had great stuff and all of the food there was amazing. The berries were huge and beautiful. Then we ate dinner right there looking out at the ocean. It was perfect. I do love California.

Wednesday- We left LA and drove down to San Diego. We stopped at the San Diego Temple, which is where we were married. It was so fun to go back and remember our wedding day how beautiful it is there. After the temple we drove to the San Diego port and got on our cruise ship. We took a little cruise down to Cabo San Lucas and back.

We spent most of our time here on Lover's Beach.
We did a lot of eating...a lot... a lot.

We spent a lot of time just reading too.

And mostly, just relaxing.
We were probably pretty boring. It was amazing though how much fun we had just hanging out and reconnecting without all of the distractions of life, work, and baby. We are so grateful to my mom and sister who took such great care of Taylor that we didn't have to worry about her.

We decided that we really need to do this once a year, get away and remember how much we love each other. We are already dreaming about next year...
