My Parents' Visit

My mom and dad came to visit for a few days this past weekend, and it was great! We were pretty busy since they were only here a few days, but we really got to spend some quality time together. We visited La Jolla, Hilltop Community Park where we live, downtown San Diego, Point Loma, and Mission Beach. The weather was a little warmer than normal but wonderful! Here are some pictures of our visit:



























































Side note: Blake is doing much better on his talking! He is saying all kinds of words. He is getting so big! And we can't believe that Claire will be here so soon! Due in 5.5 weeks!

Our SoCal Home!

Finally! I have taken house pictures! We are unpacked enough (minus the garage) to where it looks like someone lives here!

Here is our humble abode:







































































































Notice there are no pictures of Claire's room. Those will come soon enough. We currently have a house guest (Lauren) living with us while she settles into her new life in San Diego, too! Also, excuse the portable AC unit in the family room. It is ugly, but with no AC in the house and the crazy, abnormal hot weather we have had here, it is necessary. It is supposed to cool down (70's) in a day or two though, so it will makes its way out to the garage until needed again!

On a separate note, we went to the 2012 Miramar Air Show. I thought of Top Gun the entire time. We saw all kinda of planes, helicopters, and machines! Here are some pictures of our experience:

















































Blake and I went with Alex to the OC to stay the night, too! Alex had some work to do up there, we we hung out in the hotel, swam, and went shopping. On the trip from San Diego to the OC, you drive through Camp Pendleton. Some helicopters landed right next to the road! They were so low!




We got to visit some friends who moved to Mission Viejo from Bloomington while we were there as well. It was so nice to see Craig and Jessica and meet Garren, their new baby boy!
