Boys Night


Ryan took Simon to the BYU game yesterday while I went up to Salt Lake to watch the Relief Society Broadcast with my Mom (President Monson's talk was awesome). Ryan says Simon did a lot of cheering and was happy through the whole game.

San Diego and Update

Last week we got to spend a week in San Diego. It was a fun vacation and Simon was a trooper and had a lot of fun.

We spent a couple days at Sea World. What a great place to take little kids. There were so many interactive things for him to do. He was well entertained the whole time and did well even when sitting through all the shows.



This is a terrible picture, but he actually loved all the rides he was allowed to go on.

He wore himself out.

We spent another day at the San Diego Zoo. We have heard such great things and were not disappointed.



The rest of our time was spent playing on the beach. Simon was in heaven playing in the sand and water. He cried when we started to pack up his sand toys to leave. He would have camped out there the entire trip.




Other things that have been going on:
We moved! Not super far, but just a little closer to campus in a place that's a bit smaller, but much cheaper. So far we really like it in our new place, though nothing could beat our old neighborhood.
I found a job. I'll be nannying a little boy Simon's age a few hours every day while his mom goes to school. It's not much, but it's something! Plus it's great to have a job where I can bring Simon along.
As you can tell from some of the above pictures, Simon is officially walking full time now.
Things are going great for Ryan in the lab. Though he's constantly there anyway, fall semester officially begins for him next Monday.

Family Reunion

Here are some pictures of the Family Reunion in Nebraska for Ryan's side of the family. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and enjoy the amazing food that they always have.

Eh, Maybe Not

As Simon grows older we learn more and more about how stubborn he is. Recently this stubborn streak has to do with walking. He will not walk unless you hold his hand. We've tried all the tricks and nothing works.
Last Tuesday we were just getting back from running errands and we were doing our usual walk down the driveway and he just started walking! He was taking multiple steps and going all over the place. He was screaming and laughing because he was so excited about it.
I put him down for his afternoon nap, and when he woke up- it's like nothing ever happened. The most steps he's taken since have been 4. What a punk!

We just got back from our trip to Nebraska for a family reunion. Here's a little preview.

More pictures to come soon.
