Quick Utah Trip

Andrew had a big exam the first weekend of June, so I thought it would be a good time for Gavin and I to make a quick trip to Utah so we would be out of the way.

It was a rough start with Gavin having caught a stomach bug and throwing up on the way to the airport and on the airplane. Yuck! But he got over it quickly! We were only there for a couple of days but we had a lot of fun.

We went to Grandpa's work and fed the ducks. Gavin was in duck heaven!



We also chased the ducks.

We also tried on Grandpa's shoes and tried to walk around.

We went to cousin Rachel's soccer game to cheer her on. Gavin wanted to join in on the fun.


We were able to go and visit Great Grandparents.


And we even spent some time at the Zoo!!

Gavin loves elephants!


All the cousins.

Gavin loves carousels!

More cousin time.

Gavin became really good buddies with his cousin Seth on this trip. He would get so excited every time he saw him. He just wanted to hang out with him all the time.

They even rode on matching Giraffes.

We rode the train at the end of the day. You can't tell from this picture, but Gavin loved the train!

We celebrated my birthday, a day early, while we were there. We had a bbq over at Kevin and Heather's house. Gavin was very excited to sit with the big kids at his own table.

We even had these delicious cupcakes! I think I might have sampled every single one of them.

The flight home was great, thanks to the portable dvd player that we bought for Gavin. And I was lucky enough to hold off on getting the stomach bug until the next morning!

June Celebrations!

June is a big month for us. We have both of our birthday's and our wedding anniversary! It is definitely a month of celebrations!!

This year was an especially big one as we both turned 30! I can't believe that we are so old!!

My actual birthday day wasn't that great. I had caught a 24 hour bug from my parents and it hit me early that morning. I still had to go to work though and I was glad that I did. My swimmers were so sweet and surprised me with these balloons and cupcake cake!


A few days later, after I had completely recuperated we went to dinner at BJ's. I always go there for my birthday dinner so I can get the free pizookie!! Delicious!

Andrew's birthday was a week and a half after mine. Because he had been laid off from his job the day before, we decided to go and spend the whole day at Disneyland!! I made him wear his "Happy Birthday" pin and it was fun to hear everyone wish him a happy birthday!!

Gavin's favorite show is "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" so he was very excited to see all of the characters in person!

(Also notice how Gavin's shorts and Andrew's shirt matches!!)



Andrew finished off his celebration with his favorite black and white Mickey cookie!

I realized that I didn't take any pictures on our wedding anniversary, but we had a fun day. We went to dinner that night at Kabuki Japanese Restaurant. It has been a wonderful 6 years together!!
