Cali Trip/SeaWorld/Cassie's Wedding

Cassie Rathgaber got married! I had to make the trip down to San Diego. Cass and I date way back to college in Hawaii! Many of times trying to be the match maker...and never working out! Here are some pictures from the trip. I went to Sea World with Jaime and Alisa, we hung out most of the time and went to the wedding shower, then her wedding. SeaWorld was awesome! I love it. I just want to ride Shamu, that would be my last death wish to Make a Wish Foundation. That's all I ask for...

You can't see it very well, but there's a Beluga Whale behind me..I was trying to push out my belly...just like a Beluga Whale. We're like the same.

He's kissing Oliver.

Cassie and Becky's family from New York. Becky got married the following weekend, sorry I missed it Beck.

So Gorgeous! Loved her dress!

We saw lots of old college friends, everyone came out of the woodworks!

They lived happily ever after!!

Monster Trucks!!

You might be a redneck IF....you go see Monster Trucks.

Bachlorette Party!

Here are a few pictures from Rachel's Bachlorette party. I work with Melisa here in the first picture. She's a fun one! Her sister is getting married, and here's her last shi-bang! We each had a dare for the night...Melisa had to get a guy to propose to her...this was him! She said yes! My dare was to get a sock from some random guy. Ya, don't worry....it can be done! I had a sock in hand! Her wedding pictures to follow shortly.

Steve & Nikki finally come to Visit!!

Steve & Nikki finally came to visit us! Steve has been Ben's best friend for a long long time..dating back to Arizona. They've been talking about coming up to visit us in SLC, and they finally did. We had to be the best tour guides, and the best entertainers. Did a jig here, did a jig there...you know, the whole dog and pony show! We took them up to a waterfall up in the Uintahs, and went up to Mirror Lake to fish. We also went to Seven Peaks water park, those pics will definitely NOT be posted. No belly pics up in here. Not yet. I'm working up to it. Even being pregnant in all...I LOVE water slides, and I just ignored the "WARNING, IF YOU ARE PREGNANT - DO NOT RIDE THIS RIDE!!" I thought: "I'm not THAT pregnant, just a little pregnant right now." So I went on the rides, every single one of them. I got stung by a bee right on my bellard, the bastard flew right down into the cleave...stung me right on top of the bell. So that wasn't good, then I started having weird stomach cramps and achs. Yea, needless to say, it probably wasn't the best decision in my life. But I'm sure Ollie had a blast swishin' around in there! I'm gearin' him up for what's to come...wood blocks in the shoes for the height restrictions at Lagoon!

Cookin' in Lake Powell

We finally went back to Lake Powell, after all these years of talking about going back. It was a Roaster! 100 degrees + everyday, we were lovin' it. We basked in the water pretty much the whole time. Thanks Tiffany and Colton for inviting us on the fun trip! We loved the Black Pearl!

4th of July! (a little delayed)

We were lucky enough to have my entire family in town! They all came out of the wood work from LA, Seattle, Logan, Idaho and North Carolina. It was a mini-family reunion. It was such a good time, wish we could do it more often. We got wild and crazy as usual, half stayed here at my house and the other half stayed in a hotel. It was a full house, but wouldn't have it any other way! It was so good to have all the kids together! Here's some fun pics of our adventures!

Caleb loves to eat! Here's another one..

We went to a trout farm up in Ogden, so the boys could catch their 1st fish with Grandpa!

Chad, Robyn, Stone and Reagan

Oh ya, and for Robyn to catch her 1st fish too! Growing up in LA, and never fished..!?

Grandpa and Stone catching his first fish! It's a guaranteed catch!

Precious Reagan

We had to go to the one and only World's Largest Dinosaur Museum! At least we can brag about that in Utah.

Garrett & Jayden - with his bag of dinos!

Ya, and me and Lauren had to dress up in the Dino costume! Bulbasur.

We found a really cool 4th of July Fair! They never have fairs here...

This was the most intense ride ever! Jayden and Stone are obsessed with fire engines, and they were just concentrating SO hard to drive this. It was hilarious! I don't think we saw 1 single smile from either of them. It was intense!

So serious, trying to drive this fire engine!

Pony rides for everyone. It was kind of sad, and we contributed to this animal abuse! We couldn't say no to Jayden.

This was so precious, Caleb LOVED Roxy & Max. All he wanted the whole trip was "doc, doc".

Here is Caleb running off with the dogs to the park! It was so cute.

The $35 pool was a hit!!

Jayden just went for the ride of his life!! We turn around and hear Blake screaming coming around this corner on the skate board with little Jayden inbetween his legs! He was going soo fast. If Christina saw this, I think Blake's life would have ended!

Caleb loved Uncle Ben! He needs his practice.

Just starring at the fireworks! Waiting so patiently.

We went down to the gulley so we could see ALL the fireworks in the valley.

Mom & Stone

Jayden & Stone...weren't so sure if they'd get along at this age. So cute!

With Grandma Marj! And yes, those are the creepy dolls in the background!

Had to end the family reunion with a picture at the temple. And yes, Im getting a pregnant belly already.

So You're Saying There's a Chance...!?
