Thanks, Lala. That was fun!

A Bit of News

That's right! We're having another baby in early December! We're really excited and wanted to share the news with you all. I'm about 12 weeks along and feeling pretty good. I've been pretty tired but not too nauseous, which is good.

Yesterday, I had my first prenatal visit and we got to see the little bundle on the ultrasound. He's already jumping around and doing flips.

By the way, I think its a boy. What do you all think?

Girls' Trip to San Diego

This trip was long overdue. The boys in the family have already made several trips together and the girls have talked about doing one for a while now. At first we planned to go to New York this month but things just didn't pan out. But things did work out when we all planned to go to San Diego!! We had a great time and lots of laughs. Mom, Linda, Annie, Audra, Laura, and I went this last weekend for 4 days. We missed Linds but we know we'll all go again sometime.

Here are a few pictures of our trip:

This is at a delicious little spot in Carlsbad called Harbor Fish Cafe. They had awesome fish tacos.

The piece of fish was humongous. I just about ate the whole thing.

I have never seen Annie eat so fast in my life. They were that good!

After lunch we headed down to the beach for a little walk. We made sure this was not the only beach time we got!


We did lots of shopping...and I mean LOTS! Apparently, driving the minivan all over San Diego wasn't enough for Mom.


The next day we went to Tijuana. We were hoping for a quick trip in and then have time for other things that day but instead we waited 2 hours to cross the border back into the U.S. Oh well, we got to eat hot churros while we waited! We stopped for lunch at the famous "In-N-Out". It was my first time there and I can't say I was really that impressed. I didn't order it "animal style"...but I can't see that making it much better. Just my opinion.


On Saturday, we took a trolley tour around San Diego which was way fun! It was relaxing and we got to see way more than we would if we would have tried driving everywhere. We shopped and played at the beach in Coronado.


Here are the girls on the trolley.


We spent our last day at Sea World. This was one of my personal favorites! I cried at the Shamu show. It was like I was 5 again. It was just all so exciting!!


It was just amazing to see those animals up close.


We sat in the "Soak Zone" and came prepared with ponchos. It was blazing hot and I didn't actually end up wearing mine for the show. Much to our dismay, we didn't even get dripped on. We must have sat in the wrong area. We did use our ponchos for the water rides, though!

This is at the "Shark Encounter" exhibit. It was hard to get a good shot of them because they kept the lights extremely low in there. This is in the tunnel.

We had a great time together and are already planning on another trip. Who knows when it will happen but IT WILL!

Race For the Cure

This morning Jon, Jonah, and I got up extra early so we could beat the traffic and find a parking spot in Salt Lake at the Gateway. Why, you ask? A few days ago I won free registration for the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure 5k walk/run. I've always wanted to participate in this event and FM100 just happened to be giving out some free registrations on their team. I heard someone mention that there were about 18,000 participants this year. There were, in fact, so many people there that we did not cross the start line for about 5 minutes after the gun went off and we were completely unable to run (due to the high volume of walkers) until another 9 minutes passed. It was a good experience and very touching to see those with banners pinned to their backs in memory or celebration of loved ones who have battled breast cancer.
I forgot my camera but this is about what it looked like as we all lined up:


On our way home we were discussing possible reasons as to why Jonah had been so cranky and crying the night before, all night, and this morning. I noticed that he wasn't really using his left arm at all and when we moved it or got him dressed he would burst into tears. We took him to the doctor and it turns out that last night when Jon and I took him to the park and were playing with him (which included tossing him in the air, etc) he had dislocated his radius (the bone which connects the wrist to the elbow). He had managed somehow to pop it back in all by himself just minutes before we entered the doctors office but the doctor definitely noticed swelling and inflammation and taught us the term "nurse-maid's elbow" which refers to maids commonly picking up kids by the arm and dislocating their elbow. So, after a little Motrin, our little Jonah is back to normal! Thank goodness it wasn't anything more serious.

Here is a picture of Cousin Dave with Jonah and Jon. Dave was in town for EFY meetings and we were cool enough to be on his list of visits! We love you David!!
