Parasailing over Catalina Island

This past weekend my parents came into town to celebrate Gracie's first birthday (future post). While they were here we took the boat over to Catalina Island and stayed for a couple of days. It was so much fun! We went parasailing and it was a blast! It was so crazy to be 1200 feet above the ocean and it was beautiful! Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Ready for take-off!

Going up!

Way up there, 1200 feet above the ocean!

Avalon, Catalina behind us.

Getting our feet wet!

We're flying!

Kiss.

We survived!

The Park

I have been awful at blogging. Oh well. I'm trying, right?! Anyway, until I get caught up I thought I would share pictures from a trip to the park in January. Grace loves the swings and is starting to warm up to the slides too. Being able to go to the park in January is one of the perks of living where it's warm all the time, but I have to admit I do miss the snow...sometimes.

Lately...

The Best Conversations

During the last week Grace has started to be very smiley and "talky" and I love it! The best and most rewarding conversations I have ever had have been with my sweet, 6 week old baby girl cooing and smiling at each other. I took this picture on my phone=poor quality and blurriness.

LOVE THIS GIRL!

School is done...

Well finals are finished and school's out for summer. I graduate on Friday from Utah Valley University with a Bachelors degree in Art & Visual Communications. I am so happy and proud of myself for sticking it out. There were many times when I wanted to give up, now I am happy that I pushed through (sometimes being pulled by my sweet husband) and finished. It makes me happy to know that some day I can tell my kids that I did it and so can they. Education is so important. So even though it was hard, took me 7 years and switching my major 4 times, being 6-9 months pregnant and giving birth during my last semester...I DID IT!!
