Sacramento and San Francisco

Last weekend we went to visit our friends, the Routsongs, in Sacramento. On Saturday we drove out to San Francisco (my favorite city). (This is the hill that our reverse went out in the Suburban, more explanation below).

We had to make a stop at Ghiradelli Square for some chocolate. Kristy got me addicted to the 60% Cacoa, with carmel inside. It's so good, and is probably the main reason I put a few pounds on during our trip.


Down at Fisherman's Warf, Quinn and Ava decided to befriend a gargoyle. Ava was more willing to befriend him then Quinn.


I also became addicted to Settlers of Catan while in Sacramento. I love that game, even though I have yet to win. This picture was taken at about one in the morning!


We went to In 'n Out three out of the five days we were there. Ethan loved it. (Probably also attributed to my gainage!)


Matt and I celebrated our eight years of marriage while there. Matt got me a night guard to celebrate, to keep me from grinding my teeth at night. He's so romantical! This is our friend Jeff Routsong. He and Matt have been best friends since high school. He just started a dental practice in Rocklin California. Look him up if you live near by, he's a great dentist!


Kristy borrowed her parents 1992 Suburban while we were there. It was a lot of fun because we were able to all ride together. While we were in San Francisco the reverse decided to stop working. So this picture is of us sitting on the side of the street waiting for Jeff. (Ava's not very happy about it). For the rest of our trip we could not drive in reverse.


Up at Muir Woods Beach overlook. It was very windy, but absolutely beautiful.


Muir Wood's beach overlook again.


Down on the warf they have a double decker carousel. Quinn is on the top floor riding a panda bear.

Christina with her favorite guy, in her favorite city.


We saw this sign when we were driving into San Francisco. It's my new favorite sign.
Thanks Jeff, Kristy, and Carsee (Carson), we had a great time, and hope to do it again soon!

Ok, ok, I'm back (for now!) Does life ever get really overwhelming for you? Well it definitely does for me, and that's what the last couple of months have been like. I had to do a post today, because...


Ethan is 1 today!!!
I can't believe it's been a whole year since this sweet little boy joined our family. He is the sweetest little baby. He definitely broke the mold though. He only weighs 17lbs. 7oz., he is shy, but almost always has a smile on his face. He also prefers his daddy over his mommy (most of the time), which makes me happy, because the other two always preferred me at this age, and it's fun to see him cling to his daddy (Ethan definitely has his daddy right where he wants him!)
Ethan had tubes put in his ears last Monday. Hopefully this will stop the ear infections. We are three for three now with the ear tubes. Our poor kids, but I know it definitely could be worse.
I'm so thankful for my beautiful children, and wonderful, amazing, perfect husband. I love them so much, and am blessed beyond measure.
