This little vacation has kept us busy and tan! We enjoyed a beach day with the family on
Saturday. Hazel was the only one that had enough sunscreen on. We enjoyed the water, the sand under our feet and in Hazel's case in her diaper.



Yesterday I enjoyed a yummy lunch with high school friends. It was so fun to catch up and celebrate weddings, graduations, and babies!

Hazel has really enjoyed our dog, partying in the middle of the night instead of sleeping (I did not appreciate this), getting into everything new around the house, and learning to stand on her own.

I'm so grateful for this time with my family, but we miss Brice and are excited to go home to him today! Hopefully Hazel catches up on her sleep on the 2 1/2 hour flight!
Have a great day!
I think the overload of pictures can explain that we went to the Angels game Friday night with my family! 




 It's been a while since we've all gone and it was really fun! The game started at 7:05 which is a little bit before Hazel's bedtime but she did great! She made it until the 8th inning and then fell asleep on Chelsea....until the fireworks at least!





Our team lost but we had a great night! Thank you Mom and Dad!
We miss you Brice!
I'm in California for the week and am so happy to be laying out in the sunshine! My sister and I flew down to surprise Chelsea at her high school graduation! She was very quick to take Hazel out of my arms :)
We love you Chelsea and are so excited for your future at BYU-Idaho!

The graduate!

So proud of her and excited for her to go to college

We spent our Memorial day enjoying the Pacific Science Center with our good friends Nathan and Naomi. It was such a fun hands-on museum and Hazel and Brice especially loved all the over-stimulation. There were lots of exhibits to be explored. Some of our favorites were the Health and Wellness area, the Space and planet stuff, and the fun mirrors. 








I'd say everyone had a good time. 
After the Discovery Center we enjoyed dinner at Ivers Fish Market and checked out the fish mongers and beautiful fresh flowers and produce at Pikes Peak Market. 
Sorry no pictures, camera died by this point. 


Most importantly we are are so grateful for the servicemen and women who sacrifice so much to serve our country and protect our freedoms. We live in a blessed country and we are so grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy! We love the USA!

We decided to do a little car shopping this morning! 



We got Brice's first paycheck from Microsoft and thought what the heck- lets go get a new car! Too bad all the cars we looked at today were a little out of our budget.

okay okay it was the Redmond Exotic Car Show and we were only looking :)

There were lots of fun cars an Brice really enjoyed telling me and Hazel about them- until we stopped listening at least!




My favorite part of the day was noticing that GAP is having a major sale this holiday weekend!

We are loving Redmond so far. The overcast mornings (perfect for cool early running) and sunny afternoons.  I like that there's shopping close by- Target, Trader Joes, the Redmond Town Center. I like that Brice works a mile away. I like our apartment. Its much larger than our Provo home, has a washer and dryer, two bathrooms, and nice furnishings. We even have a little porch.
 I'm missing  some of our decor and bright pops of color around the house though.







So for now it feels like more of a hotel but home is wherever we are. 

Plus, our Provo apartment is already gutted out! I hope someone will go snap a picture for me through the window :)
