Happy Birthday Tyler!!!

I want to wish Tyler a very Happy 31st Birthday today! He is such a wonderful husband and he really deserves the best! I woke up early (around 6AM) to make him a yummy breakfast before he went off to work and have been busy working all day getting his presents together. I thought it would be fun to make him a candy-gram to let him know how much I love him. After opening presents were headed to Chili's for dinner (his favorite restaurant). Anyway, below are just a few pictures from his "party".

Mormon Battalion Visitors Center

Last Saturday Tyler and I went to the grand re-opening of the Mormon Battalion Visitors Center in Old Town. We were both blown away by how nice it was, they really went above and beyond. I wish I would have taken more pictures of the inside, they have a cool guided tour that you go on that is really well done. They really made it kid friendly for all the field trips they host. Below are a few pictures from the visitors center and the surrounding historic homes and of course Old Town. Every year the LDS Church puts on a fun festival to honor the battalion and their contributions to San Diego. It was a lot of fun!

The kids can pan for gold.

Or they can help build bricks.

Here's Tyler pulling a "Dwight Schrute" by checking out the handywork.

Ty HAD to have a homemade biscuit!

He got tired of waiting so I had to finish up the cookin', it was SO good!

Parent's Attempt to Escape Bad Weather

A couple weeks ago my parents decided they had had enough of the Utah snow and thought it would be a perfect time to visit *sunny* San Diego. I was excited to see them and came up with a fun list of things to do while they were here. Of course, the one week they decide to come is the one week where it rained the entire time. It did put a damper (pun intended) on the trip, but we still managed to have a good time. One of the coolest things we did was visit the Reagan Library. My dad was SO excited to see Air Force One he practically ran through the museum to get to the plane.

Bonus Picture: This is NOT staged. Chalie LOVES to curl up with a blanket with a pillow over him. He's a strange little guy.
