road trippin

we just got back from some fun trips. we started off going to st. george to see our good friend dave get sealed in the st. george temple. it was a long trip there, but once we got there it was all fun. we stayed w/ the millers at a way nice marriott (thanks char for the hook up). we got to play in the pool and hang out and then went to the sealing. considering we were only there for a day we had a lot of fun.

the kids were very into their movie on the way down


the beautiful st. george temple

cute cousins


this is our good friend timmy (dave's bro) it had been over 3 years since we last saw him, so it was so fun to chat for a bit! sarra hopefully we get to see you and the kids next time :)!

dave and his little girl azalea

candid of his fam: heather and her daughter torrance

then it was off to ca for some fun in the sun. gotta love the splash pad at the irvine spectrum!

my friend kelly was down there at the same time and found these shades for savanna and she has been obsessed w/ them ever since!

for being in ca for a little over a week the only days we saw the sun were when we went to hb or the last day that we left. june gloom is in full swing there. but it was nice to have some cool weather!

carter playin w/ the boys (ryker & harley)

laura is 9 mo preg, so we had a little get together at cheesecake factory to celebrate the future arrival of little leah! we can't wait to meet her. and this is kinda getto, but i brought a cheesecake for everyone to eat after and everyone was freakin that i would bring a cheesecake to cheesecake factory. but hello it was yummy and no one had to pay $10 bucks for a slice!



we had a bonfire by backyard one night and it was so fun hangin by the fire pit!


lots of popsicles this trip

we had a yummy bbq at the lucas fam. it's always fun to be w/ friends and family down there. we miss them so much! good thing it's not that far. yeah for another trip down there already planned for the 4th!
