SAN DIEGO!!!!!

So my AWESOME husband worked hard for two years and earned us an AMAZING trip to sunny San Diego! We stayed at a gorgeous resort called The Grand Del Mar where we enjoyed yummy food, relaxing spa treatments and golf! We also got to see Bryan's brother Gary, his wife Bliss and their ADORABLE baby Riley! Here is a list of some of the other things we did: Went sailing around the San Diego bay on a 135 foot sail boat, went to a Padres game, hung out by the pool and had a romantic night on the beach complete with tiki torches and a picnic basket full of treats. We also went on a dinner cruise on the California Princess. After dinner we were told that there were representatives from Tiffany & Co. on the upper level with three items to choose from for the ladies and three items for the men! I couldn't believe it! I ended up choosing a bracelet and Bryan chose a money clip, both sterling silver. It was an amazing trip and we had so much fun spending time together and with the awesome people that work for the best company ever! I can't wait for Florida next year and Bryan is working hard to get us to Australia! There are too many pictures to include them all, but here are just a few! (ok more than a few, sorry! I posted close to all of them on Facebook if you care to look at them)

The tub was GIGANTIC! and very deep! It was awesome!

We had a couch in our room! And a door bell! It was crazy!

My Husband the Triathlete!

On April 24th Bryan participated in his first ever sprint triathlon! It consisted of a 400 meter swim, 12 mile bike ride and a 3 mile run. Parker, Bryan's mom and I went to the Kearns pool to watch him swim. Then he was off on his bike! We went home to get Parker ready for his soccer game. Then my sister Heather took Parker to soccer and I went back to meet Bryan at the finish line! I am so proud of him! He is training for another one on July 24th in Stansbury Park!

Almost done with the swim!

About to get out of the pool

Heading to the transition area to get his bike

Yay! Here he is at the finish line!

I couldn't get a pic of him actually riding his bike in the race, so when we went to get his bike before heading home, I took this one

Hopscotch and Silliness!

Parker loves watching the Disney Channel in the morning, and I admit I probably let him watch more than I should. He was watching the episode of Special Agent Oso in which Oso helps some kids play hopscotch. I'm sure you are all familiar with that one. So Parker decided that we needed to make a hopscotch of our own. So, I got out the sidewalk chalk and made one on the back patio. He found a rock and started hopping! He would try to throw the rock on a specific number and got so excited when he got it on the right one! He played for over an hour while Bekah was at school. Later we ate lunch outside and when they were done with their otter pops, they were being so silly, so I had a to take a picture!
