Happy Birthday Brent!

Yes, his birthday was in June but for his birthday present, he got a whale watching trip. We finally went in Monterey last week and had a great time. The whales got pretty close to the boat and there were at least 20 in the water in viewing distance. These were Humpback whales. Enjoy!







After we went whale watching, we headed over to the Charlie Brown Park to let Morgan burn off some energy. She had a great time with dad because I was still getting over my sea sickness. The seas were a little rough.

This weekend we headed up to Manteca to go to my 10 year class reunion. We decided to make a trip out of it. We headed up to LA after work on Thursday and after way too long in the car due to traffic, we made it to the Griffith Observatory. It's right by Hollywood and the view was fantastic.


Friday morning we headed up the coast to Big Sur. We stopped at a few places along the way and checked out the views, saw the elephant seals, and took some pictures. It truly is a beautiful place.







We drove up to Monterey and stayed at the Naval Postgraduate School. The Gateway Inn was beautiful. The building was very ornate with these great gardens right out our balcony. We look forward to going back and staying there again.



More posts on our Whale watching trip and the reunion to come.

Big Girl Bed

We put Morgan in a big girl bed about two weeks ago but she's still not consistently sleeping in it. We start out there every nap and night but she only sleeps in it about half the time. We still like to have the crib in there as a threat but I guess we'll have to take it out eventually.

Bay Cruise and USS Mercy

One of Brent's friends from elementary school and his family came over from LA for the day. Brian Allred was also in town so we went on a by cruise and to the USS Mercy. We had a great time. Morgan loved pushing all the buttons.

My Birthday

Yeah, so this was like a month ago but I never posted about it so here goes. Brent decorated the house and made me a darling cake. He went to the store and bought special pans, frosting tips, and even a cake leveler. You can even see the different colors in the cake.

Disneyland

My parents, sisters, and their families all came down for a few days and went to Disneyland and hung out at my place. We had a fabulous time.





Morgan went on several rides with Grandma and they had a great time.








Brent had to work so Morgan and I went on Thursday then brought my dad and the other two year olds home with us while everyone else went on Friday as well. It was so fun to see the little cousins interacting and playing together and to spend some relaxing time with my dad. On Saturday, we went to the beach and kayaked with the sharks but unfortunately didn't get any pictures. They all left Sunday morning and it was way too soon.
