The Rest of Moms visit!

Well to start this post off I am going to apologize, for the non-stop pictures. I know there are alot, but there was so many I liked, and I just had to have these ones. So sorry...:).

As you can see we went out to the park and played some while Mom was here. She had gotten Nate an airplane and a parachute man to play with. It was a little windy for the airplane but we still had fun trying to get it to fly, especially the boys. Mom on the other had kept bombarding me with the parachute guy while I was taking pictures. I had to keep on my toes so I could duck at a moments notice.

Me and Jared

After a while Nate couldn't ignore the beckoning call of the playground area. He absolutely loves parks and to play in the sand at the beach. Of course every kid he meets he instantly assumes they are his best friends and that they want to play with him, so parks can be a challenge too at times. He is very social, don't know who he got that from...hehe.

Me and Mom

On Sunday we were bad and instead of going to Stake Conference, we took a trip up to the beach at Rio Del Mar, which is south of Santa Cruz. It was cold at first but then it cleared up for a while and we enjoyed chilling our feet in the ocean as we looked for sea shells.

Daddy and son.

Nate and I made a sand castle, wow I didn't know it was so hard to make a sand castle while you were pregnant, but let me tell you it wiped me out. After mom came back from a long walk collecting shells we packed up and went home.
Monday we once again traveled up to Santa Cruz area so we could do the Boardwalk experence in Cali. We have walked around the boardwalk before, we've just never done the rides. Nate, Grandma, and Dad went on a bunch and had a good time.

I went on the only ride I could go on with Nate and it was fun. As we went around on the merry go round Nate was telling me a knock knock joke. It goes, "Knock, knock. Who's there. Ya. Ya who. Is that you there cowboy?" And then we would laugh and try and make our horses go faster.

Valentines Day Fun

So we had a wonderful Valentines Day. My mom came into town and watched Nate while Jared and I got away to Carmel for a romantic getaway. It was so nice to have some time with my sweet husband. We picked my mom up at the airport around noon and then ate lunch at Arby's. Nate was very happy to have her here too. Then when we got home Jared and I split, and left Nate and Grandma to have there fun.
We stayed at the Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club in Carmel, CA. We have stayed here before and loved it. We could look out from our Suite to the 14 hole, and the sunset here is so beautiful. It has a very large screen plasma screen tv, dvd player, and a huge bathroom. After check in we were walking to our suite and enjoying the view and flowers and the idea of being away when, we passed the room we had stayed in before and realized we were going to be staying just 2 suites down from there. The next suite had all of its shades opened, the ones in its big bay window area, the front glass door window and the other front window. Well of course both of us looked in and yep guess what we saw. I don't know what this man was thinking. Anyways we had a full back side view of him NAKED....aaaahhhh. We both turned our heads quick and went straight to our suite. So now we have other special memories, oh yeah.

Well besides that wonderful moment, the get away was wonderful. As you can see below this is a front shot of our suite. Lots of windows....well we made sure we kept our shades closed. Haha
In the morning Jared and I drove down to Carmel and had breakfast at the Cottage Restaurant which was amazing. We used our gps unit to find it...I love having this little thing that tells me where to go. We don't get lost, yeah, and Jared loves playing with his little toy even if we know where we are going. So our Valentines day was great. Thank you Mom, and Jared.
