At the Newport Aquarium!

We had a lot of fun this past week going to the Newport Aquarium with Tia, Zoe and Kaia and Rachel and Gabe! It was a beautiful day, and the boys had so much fun looking at all the fish!

Touching the animals in the tide pools...

Rachel and Kaia!

A day at the beach...Oregon style!

After we went to the aquarium, we headed to the beach to play in the sand for a little bit! It was super windy which made it quite cold, but we found this sheltered little nook, and the kids had a lot of fun!

Bundled up and having fun!

The kids had so much fun climbing up this little hill and then 'sliding' down! Whee!! Nothing like sand in your pants!

Beautiful!

Fishing away!

We had so much fun going to Foster lake the other day to go fishing! The boys had so much fun running around, and it was really relaxing! When we realized that fishing wasn't that successful, we had fun throwing rocks in the lake and seeing who could make the biggest splash!

One happy fisherman!

Chet had a lot of fun reeling in the line all by himself!

Caught in the act!

Hola from Cabo San Lucas!

Will and I looooved our time spent in Cabo San Lucas together! Will's parents watched Chet and Zane for the week, and the boys had so much fun with them, being spoiled and loved and doing fun things together! And even though it was really hard to be apart from the boys, and we missed them terribly, Will and I loved our time spent together, relaxing, and being with the friends down there so much! It was so nice to spend time with my #1 boy and best friend... We loved our privileges of special meeting, a baptism, gospel meeting, and time with the friends so much! Cabo San Lucas holds a very special place in our hearts!

Time spent together...

Will and I love to eat at 'The Office' restaurant for breakfast! It is so relaxing sitting with your feet in the sand, watching the ocean, when all is peaceful and quiet in the morning...

Special meeting...

We loooved our privilege of special meeting in Cabo! The meetings were very wonderful, and it was so, so special to be with all the friends who have become so dear to us over the years... (This pict. Melissa and Ben)

Muriel and Melissa

Brother and sister...Carlos and Celina

Ezekiel and family...

Melissa's baptism

We got the special privilege of being in Cabo for Melissa's baptism...it was really, really special. (this pict. Ben and Melissa..)

A beautiful spot for a baptism...

With Loren Q....this is Will's mom's cousin, it was super special to be with him!

Gone fishin'...Cabo style!

Will went fishing while we were in Cabo....I tried to go with him once, but got sick and had to come back, so he tried again and went with Melissa (Alejandra's sister) and Ben M. (from San Luis, CA) who was down seeing her! They had a lot of fun!

Beautiful sunrise!

Melissa reeling in a sierra fish!

They caught tons of squid!

Special friends...

Alde has a glass bottom boat now, and it was fun to go out on it, and see all the fish swimming beneath...

Good buddies....we love spending time with Alde and his wife, Alejandra!

By the arch...

I love Brasils!

We ate at Brasils 3 times when we were in Cabo!! All the waiters would laugh when we showed up time and time again, but it is sooooo delicious! Being pregnant does have some good perks...being able to eat a lot and loving food!

They bring out all their meat on these large swords and cut off a piece for you...it's really cool looking! And, you can even be choosy if you want and pass up one cut of meat to have more flank steak or filet mignon! Yummmm, yummm!

On one of our other nights at Brasils! =)

Surfs up!

Alde and Alejandra took Melissa, Ben, and Will and I surfing about an hour north of Cabo! It was a lot of fun and very relaxing! Jonathan really wants to be a surfer, and has no fear when it comes to the water and such!

Waiting for the waves to come!

Buried!

Fun, fun days at home!

Zoe and Kaia came over to see our new little lambs, and they had SO much fun playing outside in the nice, nice weather! Oh how we love this sunshine!

Cute little Zane!

Grandpa is here! Chet and Zane are so enjoying having Grandpa up for a visit! Chet is keeping him busy with reading books, playing blocks, and going for walks! His favorites to do with Grandpa!

We looove swimming!

It was SO fun to have daddy and Grandpa come watch the boys swim for their swim lessons this past week! Chet and Zane LOVE swimming so much and are doing so good!! They both love the water, and are so excited to go swimming! Zane is doing so good in his water babies class, floating on his back, kicking, and jumping into the pool (his favorite!) Chet is doing so good in his level 2 class! He gets so excited when his teacher puts the jet packs on them so they can swim on their own! Yah!!

Cheese!
