It hasn't been that long since I last posted but a ton of stuff has happened so this will be a long one. That's ok...I don't think anyone really reads this they just look at the pics anyway! Here we go...

We went to San Diego over 4th of July weekend with my family. It was so much fun. We got to spend time with my big bro Jeff and his family. It was a long drive but definitely worth it. The day we got there it was later in the day so we thought we'd go to the beach and hang out for a bit. Well, Harrison climbed up on a rock, fell off (of course) bit his bottom lip and scratched it up pretty bad. I know...where were his parents? We ended up calling him scar face the rest of the trip.


If you look really close in this picture you can see Shamu. Harrison loved "Samu" and he totally loved all the fishes at Sea World. He really loved riding the Elmo fish ride with Nick. He was so cute in line he kept yelling "Elmo fishy!"



(No I didn't pee my pants, we were trying to dry out after we got soaked on a ride)


This was at the night Shamu show. This was the last smile we got out of him that night. He was so tired.
The next day we went to the beach. I love the beach. It was so nice to hear the waves and stick my toes in the soft sand. Harrison had fun too. He loved letting the waves knock him over. Nick even tried his hand at surfing and did quite well. I didn't get a picture of it...darn! He got up a couple times on his knees. Good job honey!

All the kids at the Zoo. Mara, Jerusha, Micah, Harrison, Grandpa, Mia, Max, and Mason. Can you believe we survived the parks with all those kids? Harrison loved playing and getting to know his cousins. They are so cute and funny. I wish we saw them more. At the zoo they had a little petting zoo for the kids. There were sheep and goats and pigs. Very stinky, but fun!

These are the only good animal pictures I got from the zoo! The polar bear stood up and started scratching himself. It was funny, I had to take a picture!


Me and my Mara (and a rhino)! I just love her to death.


Harrison was so tired after such a long day at the zoo!

We weren't done with the theme parks yet... We went to Lagoon with Nick's side of the family. I was a little nervous about putting Harrison on the rides because he doesn't exactly sit really still. He did great! He didn't even really cry.

The boat ride was one of his favorites because he got to ring the little bell. Camry was a good sport to sit with him on all the kiddie rides. Thanks Cams!

These are all Harrison's cousins on Nick's side of the family. They are so fun, and Harrison loves to play with them.



On Friday we had a great experience. Harrison did his first poop in the potty. He started tooting in the tub (I am really sick of him pooping in the tub, it is gross) anyway, I got him out and sat him on his potty chair and he did it!!!

My friend Ashlee and I ran our first 1/2 Marathon and finished! We have been working so hard. It was great to cross the finish line. I finished in 2 hrs 16 min, which I think is good for my first race. It was so great to see Nick and Harrison and my parents at the end. Thanks for coming and supporting me! Love you guys!

The trail wasn't marked really well here at the end so I just want to thank the guy behind me in the yellow shirt for yelling out where I needed to go! Thanks!
