Spokane!

Right when I got home from girls camp we got on a plane and went to Spokane, WA to visit my G-parents and cousins. We had a blast. My sisters and their husbands all came. None of our boys had ever been to Washington before so it was fun to show them what we used to do every summer growing up.

tradition: "Welcome to Spokane" picture in the airport!

Went to Riverfront Park.

Went to Liberty Lake. And had the place to ourselves. It was gorgeous!

look at that belly...

And then went cliff jumping at Couer 'd Alene Lake

And even got to squeeze in a session at the Spokane Temple.

Our days were packed. We need a vacation after our vacation. Lets just hope that i have the same energy my grandparents have. They didn't stop and wore us out every day. It was awesome. Grandma's goal was to put 5 pounds on each of us and she was successful. Thanks family for being so cool. We had so much fun and will definitely have to do this more often.

(We REALLy missed you Kyle, Kylee, Luke and Lily)

Girls Camp

I got to go to girls camp with these pretty ladies last week and had a blast. We went up to camp Morning Star by Big Bear. We went rock wall climbing, zip lining, hiking, we did skits, sang LOTS of songs, had little sleep and ate junk food...what more could you want? (oh yeah and it was really spiritual too!) =]

(i'm on the left...just look for the preggo belly)

The benefits of living in California...

Went to go to the X games last week with some friends. We got into the skateboard session of the vert "best trick" it brought me back to a time in hawaii when i really wanted to learn how to "drop in" at the north shore skate park (mostly just because i wanted P to think i was cool) and i fell really hard. Those guys make it look easy. Skating just isn't my thing...yet!

Got to go to this guys wedding...it was super fun. And he looked like this ALL day. Pure joy!

All the groomsmen...basically my high school life right here. Just missing Jessica. =]

The beautiful newlyweds!

And of course the tye-dye shoes with T (for Tyler) and R (for Rachelle)

Randomly saw this newly returned missionary on the temple grounds. Those missionaries...so spiritual!

Our friends Matty, Lindsay and their little girl Parker are staying with us for a couple weeks and it has been awesome. I can't wait to have a little baby roaming around this place in a couple months. I thought this picture was epic. Three grown-ups changing baby girls diaper. (please note Matty's safety googles...just in case.)

Love this face...and those two little teeth.

We also got to go to Julian Wilson's new surf premiere movie on friday. We saw lots of pro surfers. Pehrson was a little star struck (to say the least). Every 10 minutes he would go, "kate you just walked by....." he was excited! it was pretty cool.

then the next day we went to the US open and saw all those guys in the water. It definitely made the contest more exciting. It was a beautiful sunny day and my sisters and their hubbies came too. i love that we get to see each other so much...(kyle and kylee MOVE down here!!)

gotta have a belly pic.

Oh yeah. I felt the baby kick me today...like 4 or 5 times. It was AMAZING! I can't believe my body is creating a body. Unbelievable but SoOOOooOOoOo cool! I love this little guy so much and i don't even know what to call him yet. (any suggestions?)

I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer...i can't believe its august. Summers disappear when you are working inside all day. So we HAVE to live up the weekends as much as possible.

Here he is...

21 weeks and feeling good!

Mr. and Mrs. Bird

It's the summer of weddings! This amazing couple got married up in utah a couple weeks ago and I was so glad that I was able to go. It was great seeing old roommates.

And hopefully he looks just like Pehrson.
