End of Summer- or is it?

The whole summer has passed and I have yet to blog about anything that we have done over the past three months. It really has been a fun summer and we have been able to do some great trips and adventures. However, I am so far behind that I'll never be able to recap in just one post so, oh well. But I have new resolve to keep up better and hopefully I will follow through.

For starters, Marc got a few days off last week so we decided to make a weekend trip to California. What a fun place! I think I could stay there for a month and not get bored. A lot of the things that I want to do there cost money so we had to get creative. We spent a lot of time at the beach and one day walking around Santa Monica. It was all fun. Marc and Josie hangin'




Caleb diggin'


Greg skim boardin'




Bonnie and Josie snugglin' (This little carrier- the snugli- has been with me through all my kids and is still in great shape. I love it!)

One more thing that I really loved in CA was this frozen yogurt place that we found called YOGURTLAND! Holy smokes, this place was awsome. I am still craving the deliciousness that I experienced there. It was so cool because you get this huge cup (way bigger than the one I have pictured above) and then you fill it up with whatever flavors you want and as much of each as you choose and then there is a whole slew of toppings (which includes all your typical sundae toppings as well as some less usual ones like fruity pebbles and captain crunch ). At the end of all this they weigh it and you pay up to the sum of 30 cents/per ounce. Which was actually very reasonable, I thought. Anyway, the best part is that you can tell yourself that it is healthy!
Marc thinks I am obsessed, but I was extatic to find out that there is a Yogurtland in Vegas! Hurrah! You better believe that's where I'm headed on our next night out on the town.

Oh my gosh your little girl has gotten so big. She is adorable! I miss you guys! Sounds like you have been having a fun summer! Can't believe you are in your last year there! I bet it will fly. Tell Mark he should really consider Utah Valley :)

I cannot believe how big Josie is, didn't you just have her?!? She looks like a little girl already. I see such a resemblance between you too, she really looks like you. Hope all is well in Vegas, I hear Angie is moving down there too. How fun to have your sister so close!

I love California! I'm so glad you were able to go there and hang out at the beautiful beach. By the way there is a yogurtland in Vegas at the town square, we were just there on saturday night. Yummy!

I didn't know you guys went there! That's fun and I really want some of that yogurt now!

So, when are you guys coming to Utah?? Shane is making me bazurko asking me when Greg can come over...every single day! Shane said that about 2 months ago you said you were coming in about a month...so now it's KILLING him. You better come save him soon, and my sanity!

It's fun to see some new photos of you all. We miss you! We're coming for a visit next month - Sep. 14 through Oct. 1. If you're not around in UT, then we'll be coming down to visit. I can't wait to meet Josie and introduce Larissa!
