Oh, San Diego!

This past weekend Rob's company hosted this retreat of sorts in San Diego. Spouses were invited along to all expenses paid. Rob and I debated for awhile about what to do. We kind of wanted to get away by ourselves for our anniversary, but Taylor is still nursing and it was just to much work to figure out the logistics of how to leave her. So we decided to just take her along and see how it goes.

She actually did better than I thought she would on the plane. She didn't fuss at all. Which was a relief because I swear when people see you get on the plane with a baby you can just see the " oh great, a baby to scream the whole way and make me miserable" look in their eyes!

By time we got to the hotel Friday night though she was pretty wasted. So we called the front desk to get a crib in our room( which we had called ahead and they said they had plenty) and they we out of cribs! Of course! Eventually they did call us back and they had found one. Thank goodness. I could have kissed the guy when he brought it up I was so grateful. Saturday was filled with motivational speakers. We were not allowed to take Taylor to those, so I just kind of hung out while Rob went. He had a break for lunch so I decided to meet him and eat. As we were walking in they informed us we could not even bring Taylor in for lunch! So it was kind of a bust. We ended up going out to eat and after lunch Rob took Taylor and let me go to one of the speakers. It was really good. I am glad that I went but it probably wasn't worth all of the work to get there since we could not participate in much. I guess it was nice to get away though and see San Diego a bit. Rob and hadn't been back there since we got married almost six years ago.
It is so beautiful there. Every time we go to California I think, " No wonder people pay so much money to live here!"

This is Rob by the battleship The Midway

Rob skipped the big dinner and awards banquet to hang out with Taylor and ME since we couldn't go in. After walking around the bay for a little while we decided to eat at this nice restaurant called the Fish Market. Rob LOVES sea food. It proved to be a challenge though to relax and enjoy our food since Taylor wanted to be entertained every minute.

It's Raining? Really?

I have been meaning to post these pictures of my little brother's graduation. It is so weird that he is leaving the house and going to school. It makes me feel old. Well here in Arizona they have the high school graduations outside. Don't ask me why. I hear that normally it is so hot and miserable. Well this year it decided to rain. This is so crazy because it never rains in AZ, especially this time of year I guess. In the morning it was kind of sprinkling but we all really thought it would stop. It is not normal for it to rain all day here. Anyways, it did and it only started raining harder. So we sat on towels on metal bleachers for about 2 hrs. in the pouring rain to watch Glen graduate. It was crazy!

My sister Chrystal was my date because both of our husbands stayed at home with the kiddies.

A couple days later we had a little graduation party for Glen at Chrystal's house. We had a good time telling Glen all of the things we wish we had known or done after we graduated from high school. I am sure he was so happy to sit through all of that. Maybe those are things you just have to learn and experience on your own. It was fun anyways!

Daddy & Daughter

Taylor loves her Daddy...

She really does just light up when he gets home from work. She gets the biggest smile and starts wiggling her whole body. It is really cute.

I took these pictures one Sunday because Rob bought this dress for Taylor months before she was even born. He was on a work trip in CA and had some down time and went shopping and bought her a couple dresses. I thought it was so cute and now she finally fits into it!

Watching the NBA finals together. It is a little scary how much the TV already sucks her in...She must be worried for her team here...
