nick if you buck

Lucia, these are for you.

all those days we watched these videos over and over and over and laughed our heads off!

no one else will understand the greatness of these videos and that's why you're the best!

wet ones!

Nick, we seriously love you.

beachy

on sunday, Dad was scuba diving again so we went out to breakfast and walked on this nice little cliff to see some sea lions and a beautiful ocean view.

then we went to the beach because obviously you have to go to the beach while you're in san diego.

we weren't wearing swimsuits but we had to put our feet in.

sinking feet!

Me: "hey Matt run away from the waves so i can get a video"

such a nerd!

Sari and i had to take a picture with the bird statue.

'cause he's fancy.

the trip was short but awesome!

my favorite part: the blue water seafood market and grill!

oh my goooooooodness.

best calamari i have ever ever EVER had!

and the tacos and fish and chips were amazing too!

i haven't stopped dreaming about that place since saturday night.

everyone in the universe should go there when they're in san diego.

mmmmmm calamariiiiiiii

The Happiest Place on Earth

last weekend we got to tag along with Dad, Sari, Steven and Chelsa to san diego for a super quick vacation.

dad was going scuba diving so while he was playing around under the ocean the rest of us got to go to the happiest place on earth.

most definitely not disneyland, i'm talking about MY happiest place on earth.

SEAWORLD!

seaworld totally kicks disneyland's butt!

even though the trainers don't swim in the water with shamu anymore (which is totally lame) i'm still in awe when i see these giant guys do tricks.

then when we went to the up close tank shamu was being so laaaaazy.

he was just swimming around upside down the entire time we watched and then after we had walked away he started doing tricks.

of course.

probably one of my favorite pictures of Matt ever!

he was copying that starfish.

we were a little confused by the dolphin show too.

for some reason there was more people jumping and spinning and flying around than dolphins jumping and spinning.

the sea lion show has always been the best!

i just love that little otter!

SHARKS!

Chelsa and Matt were very excited about the kangaroo baby.

all the rides had extra long lines that we didn't want to wait in but we did end up waiting for the sky ride at the very end of the day.

Chelsa and Sari rode together without Steven because he's a big baby that won't get on any rides.

there they are!

and here we are!

it was a great ocean animal filled day and we loved every minute of it!

especially the minutes we were enjoying frozen lemonade.

community weekend

it's funny how the weekends we do totally absolutely completely nothing are sometimes the best weekends ever!

on friday night Matt took our TV up to our bedroom and we spent the whole weekend being lazy.

we watched the entire first season of Community and laughed our heads off!

it is without a doubt my new favorite show.

it totally makes me wish community college was really like that.

ya know instead of just going straight to your class and then straight home afterwards you would actually make friends and do things together.

and did you even know community colleges had cafeterias or dances or mascots?

and of course, i want a friend just like Abed.

one of the best Abed moments of all time is this...

(the first 1:25)

i love him more than words can say.

i think our favorite episode of season one was the paintball episode.

i can't wait until Matt comes home so we can watch more.

must.watch.more.community.

oh snap

Matt is mad right now.

why?

because a certain blogger out in the blogosphere always ruins our favorite things.

the latest thing was something Matt loves and now...it's ruined.

thanks a lot blogger-i-won't-mention-by-name-because-i-don't-want-to-hurt-your-feelings.

The Baby-Sitters Club

anybody read those books when they were little? anyone?

no? just me and Christy?

ok anyway...

i'm a babysitting machine this week.

last night i got to babysit the adorable little Finn!

we had a blast together!

oh my goodness i just want to squish his chubby baby cheeks!

we're great friends!

and i so wish i had gotten a picture of how much he loved our sharks.

he would watch them swim around and try to grab at them and then look at me like "hey, why can't i get in there?"

he is too cute!

then this morning i got to hang out with my nephews for a little bit.

they are fascinated with the stuffed animal Hobbes i made for Matt for Christmas and also his Bantha, or as they call it "cow".

they're getting so big!

i can't believe i used to babysit them when they were babies and now they're all grown up.

it makes me feel so oooold!

like like can lead to love

this song has been stuck in my head all day

last one

last post about Utah i pinky promise.

just a few last pictures.

Matt driving like 2 hours of the 24 hour trip

snow still on the mountains in July

modeling the Indiana Jones hat Grandma gave us

stayed the night in Vegas again on the way home right as a huge storm blew through.

lucky we were so tired we didn't mind the storm keeping us away from the casinos.

we hit the nearby Denny's for dinner.

man i love this boy.

those last 5 hours of our drive felt like an eternity but listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on our ipod kept me awake while Matt slept.

we loved our trip but we're so glad to be home.

i missed my bed and my shower and my sharks and my couch and my tv and most of all my puppy!

she has been super needy ever since we got home but i don't mind it at all since i missed her just as much as she missed me.

puppy kisses!

wedding!

Lucia is married!!

i can't believe my little Lucia is all grown up and married and i got to attend!

after a slight bit of trouble (we couldn't figure out how to get into the temple. yes, we're idiots.) we saw her wed for time and all eternity to the lucky Michael!

so stinkin happy for them!

waiting for the couple to come out of the temple
