Road trip 2009- Beat the heat!!

I like to name all of my road trips, but this one came from the 107+ degree weather we had in portland over the last few days. Well, I didnt actually have any because I left for the beginning of our massive road trip just as it started. My mom, sister and step dad came up to Portland for some fun before they helped me drive down our truck FULL of crap, a baby and a dog down to Cali. Meanwhile, Justin took the BAR exam (finally!!) in this horrendous heat and bad air conditioning (Oregonians just arent prepared for such occasions). But whatever, because he is finally done! ...and if we seem particularly happy or grumpy around the 11th of September... you'll know the result of that particular test.

Anyways, he flew down last night for a few days in Oceanside and Rancho, a baby blessing, some surfing, and much needed relax time before heading up to Utah for some family, friends and backpacking. We are certainly going to get our fix of driving in the next few weeks, but it should be lots of fun!

Any one want to play??!?!!?

Q: what do you do when there is baby poop oozing out of the infant on your lap during sacrement?

A: Ask the poor little deacon to please move the tray of bread as your run to the bathroom, before heading home to change your own clothes

Poor Justin.

3 months

We celebrated Rhys's 3 months by going on the river with my family. Rhys could not keep his eyes open between the cozy life jacket and the lull of the boat engine, it was an effort to try and keep him awake. But when they were open, he loved it! As did Justin getting to wake board.
