Texas State Fair

Since I have been away from Texas the past 7 years, I have missed out on many of the wonderful perks of living in this great state! Such as, The TEXAS STATE FAIR!!! I almost forgot how fun it is!
Mason did great! He enjoyed all the animals, food and people watching! (his favorite past time)
Fried food is apparently the staple of all State Fairs. My favorite was the Fried PB&J. WOW. It was good. But I could only eat part of it because it was a little too "unhealthy" for my tummy to handle.
Family Portrait!
Ahh...Texas. I sure have missed you. It's great to be back! Thanks for a wonderful State Fair!

Jodi Picoult

Ever read any of Jodi Picoult's books? They are so addicting! She has a whole team of researchers who help her add factual info to her story line.

So, not only do you get to read a really interesting story that keeps you guessing till the end, but you feel like you learned more about the topic at hand. She always picks controversial topics for her books, which makes them all the more interesting.

If you're looking for a new author to get into, since the Twilight saga has ended :-), I recommend any of her books.

I love reading!

Rainy Day

Mason loves the rain. So do I. We spent some good time out in the warm rain today. Mason enjoyed running around topless with his spatula. It was too cute!

Most days are spent in the pool, but not today. As seen below, he enjoys his baby pool and the hose. He is hours of entertainment! My life was so boring before Mason :-)

I love warm weather & rain.

MAMAste

Seriously, this is genius. Why didn't I think of this??? Combining yoga and prego people...two things I just love!

Oh well, I'm just glad things like this exist!

SO rad. It ALMOST makes me want to be pregnant again. i just love those big round bellies.

Beach Bums

I was able to have some fun with my new camera at the beach. Got a few decent pics. One of my favorite parts of visiting Santa Barbara is beach time! I LOVE the ocean! I wish it was a little warmer, but I'll take what I can get.
Mason was obsessed with the birds! There were a ton of birds on the beach and he was pointing and chasing and wanted to take them home with him!
Look at that cute lil' baby belly!
He is so adorable, my heart just feels like it's going to explode when I look at him.
We had some fun at Santa Monica pier after the temple. It was a great day!

Families Are Forever

August 6, 2010 My beautiful family was sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. It was a gorgeous day and an emotionally moving ceremony. I'm so grateful that families can be together forever. There is nothing more important in my life than family.
As you can see, I am a lucky lady to have such handsome men in my life! Mason and Micah wore matching black and white outfits, their sneakers were their favorite part! Mason is Micah's Mini Me...so it was just adorable.

This day was so special and I'm so glad both our families were together to celebrate!

Ahhh...Santa Barbara

By about this time tomorrow, we will be in sunny Santa Barbara. We are SO excited!!! It will be 108 today here in Texas, as it has been the last few weeks...agghhh. The forcast for SB is in the high 60's-70's. What a refreshing break! We are looking forward to spending time with family (that we have missed dearly!!!), spending time at the beach, eating In-n'-Out and of course GETTING SEALED!



This is a trip we will never forget :-)
