vacations are the best

after 11 days, i couldn't wait to get back to this...
seriously. i couldn't wait.

tyler and i thoroughly enjoyed our kid-less vacation. we hadn't had one in 4 years. it was long overdue. thanks to our moms (and my sister christine) for watching our kids. we couldn't have done it without you!!! we spent a week in scottsdale for graduation/hanging out with friends, and another 4 days in san diego. the beach was awesome. i forgot how much i love it. laying on the beach that is... NOT getting in the water. sharks freak me out.

can't see it very well, but this is del mar. the ocean is in the background. it was so pretty!
looked over and spotted my husband. this has got to be the sexiest pose ever. pants on head included.
for my little brother
um. i think this is pacific beach, where we spent our first day of laying on the beach
in mesa... tyler and ryan HAD to go golfing... even if it was 105 degrees. not bad. they would go all summer long when we lived there... even if it was 115.
diamondbacks game with hudsons and fischbecks.
tyler's big day. i'm so proud of him! 7 years of school finally over. and he's a doctor of physical therapy because of it all! no. not pregnant. just a puffy shirt.
his smile was much larger AFTER the ceremony

before the ceremony... yes, i look pregnant. no, i'm not.
congrats babe. i'm so proud of you.
friday night dinner with friends- the boys

girls
dinner with tyler's class a few nights before graduation
these go back to before we left town. this is macey's cousin, estella and her... these little babies are only 1 week apart. and sadly, they are already 10 months old.
funny story- tyler was going for a run a few weeks ago. cam wanted to go. he got all dressed, put on his shoes and socks, and grabbed like 4 toys. i said, "cam. you can't bring all those toys running. you won't be able to run holding all those things."
he proved me wrong.
we know where we are moving... and it's not in utah. but i'll leave that post for tomorrow perhaps.

Congratulations Tyler! I am so happy for both of you that the last seven years are behind you!!!
Thank you for sharing your children with me for your "get away". I loved waking up to "Grandma" every morning. They were all sooo good, and you both deserved a vacation. I love you all! Mom

Vacations without the kids are so relaxing and very much needed from time to time. Congratulations to your husband. That is really exciting. You look so good too for having three babies! Lucky girl
