Beach Day

So it has been a long time since I posted anything, I'm gonna try and do better, but most days I don't really have anything to say. I pretty much lead the most boring life ever, but boring in a good way. I don't have any difficult struggles to overcome, no dramatic happenings in the day to day. I eat three meals a day, shower, go on walks, clean the house (when I can) and play with Jett.

We did have a pretty exciting day today though. Rick took the day off of work and we went down to Santa Monica beach. It was a beautiful day, not too hot or too cold. We had a picnic lunch on the sand and just soaked in the pretty beach. Then, we went on a walk along the beach near the water, but not in that stinking cold Pacific Ocean. We got our feet wet and that was good. Jett stood on the sand awhile, I couldn't tell what he thought, but that's what happens when you have a baby who scowls all the time. Then Jett fell asleep so Rick and I took the chance and played some frisbee, which was really fun. The last time we played I was 8 months pregnant, and it is much easier to play frisbee sans gigantic belly. After feeding Jett we went for a walk along the Pier, which was really cool. Then it was time to head out to try and beat rush hour because we have to drive right through downtown LA to get to the beach. We did take pictures, but those will come later.

It was really fun having Jett's blessing a couple of weekends ago. I will post more details later because we did a lot. Julie, Holly, Jack and our friend Whitney all came down from Provo and it was so fun to see them. I miss you guys a lot, so just move to Pasadena so we can all party all the time. Jack and Jett didn't seem too interested in each other yet, so we'll give them a few months. Steve and Cindy came from Arizona, which was so nice and fun. It is always great when they visit, even though they could only stay a couple of days this time. Judith and her family came as well as my Bird family. And of course Kellie, Mom and Dad were there. Sadly, we had to miss Carlie, but I'm glad she went and had a good time on her tour in NYC. Sunday was a great day and the morning wasn't even too rushed, which was a nice feeling. Rick was pretty nervous before the blessing but he did a great job. He loves Jett so so so much and I think that came across in what he said. Jett made his first public vocal performance, and started crying as soon as Rick started talking, luckily I sent Rick up there with a pacifier. After Sacrament meeting we all came back to our apartment and had lunch and hung out. It was really great just getting to talk with everyone. And I got a look into our future with Judith's three boys, I hope our kids are able to play together like that. It was a great weekend.

Monday was great because it was Holly's 24th birthday and so she let us celebrate with her at Disneyland. It was a really fun day, even though Jett was cranky on and off all day long. Mom was great and watched the boys while we went on the rides. Jett really liked Small World, and I would have taken a picture if it would've come out, because I don't think he could have opened his eyes any bigger. It was also a great day because Holly shared the good news with us: She's having another baby! I will post more about this later, but now Jett is in bed, so I'm going to bed too.
