Cute little boy and not so cute big Mama


I thought I would give you all a peek at my pregnant self.  In this picture I am about 23 weeks...yes only 23 weeks!! In my defense this little guy is measuring two weeks big, that my excuse for looking 8 months pregnant! :)

 A couple of weeks ago Colin and I were able to go up to Washington to the San Juan Islands.  We spent three days taking ferries around the different islands.  It is so pretty up there and we had a lot of fun.
Here we are on the ferry. It was a little chilly, so I got some hot chocolate.

This is Colin's new dream. to own a yacht and park it here.

I love this picture!

One of the islands was called Guemes and Colin's great grandpa was from there.  We found his grave site and were able to visit some of his relatives that still live there.
Enjoying the view from the ferry.


This guys was pretty cute, but we really wanted to see an Orca.  We still aren't sure if we did.

While we there we celebrated our sixth anniversary.  I am a lucky girl to get to spend my life with this man!!

Here is the headstone for Colin's grandpa. Carson Charles is named after him and Colin's Dad.

This is the cemetary where he is buried. So pretty!

When we drove past this field there was a bald eagle just sitting right in the middle of it. When we back up to get a picture it flew away,. Still a pretty picture.

These were our travel buddies.  My sister and her husband. Thanks for a great trip guys!!

Instagram

 Instagram is my new favorite thing. It took me a while to figure out what it is all about, but now that I now I am a fan.  Here are some of our latest and greatest.
Our first time at Kennacott. It was pretty impresive.
Yo Gabba Gabba Funny Faces.

We went to Classic Skating and had the entire place to ourselves. The kids thought it was pretty cool.

Working hard at the library

New backpacks from Uncle Dean


Last Sunday we headed up Provo Canyon to see the leaves. They were incredible!!!



We love Granny Jo and Grandpa


Last game of the Season. Hayden did amazing this year. I was so proud of how hard she played every game.

FHE with the Gibbons Fam

For Colin's Dad's 60th birthday we all went to Cornbellys. I had never been before and I thought it was well worth the money. The kids all loved it and were still not ready to go even after we tortured them by spending 45 minutes in the corn maze.

Can you see Carson's little head poking up.  He loved this tractor.






San Diego

 At the beginning of September Colin and I took a little vacation to San Diego.  Here's some pics...
First stop was to the oldest Mission in San Diego. I cant remember what it was called, but it was cool.
Very bad pictures, but this was in front of Hotel Del Coronado.

USS Midway.  Too expensive to go on, but still cool to see.

There was a sand castle competition going on. They were all amazing!! 




This was Seaport Village and it was one of my favorite places in San Diego.   It had a bunch of cute little shops that reminded me of Gardner Village.  This was the view from the restaurant we ate at.

Sunday we went and saw the temple.


This was at the San Diego police museum. Pretty cool.
