San Diego Vacation

Mom had work in San Diego last week so daddy took the week off and we all went to San Diego to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa. Mom only got to enjoy the fun for a couple days before she had to go to work but Grandma kept taking pictures so I could keep up with the fun they were having.

Chilling on the plane. Our first leg was an empty flight so Leah had plenty of room to roam. We weren't so lucky on any of the other flights.

Our hotel... let's win some $$$

 

 

San Diego Wildlife Safari

 

 

 

 Chad had a BIG surprise for me at the Safari Park, he had one of my best friends from college, Jess, and her family meet us there!!! I was so shocked when I saw them! Jess lives about 3.5 hours from San Diego and I haven't seen her in at least 5 years. We got to spend the whole day at the park with them. It was such an amazing surprise and I can't believe Chad pulled it off without me having any idea! What a great hubby I have!!!

 

 

 

 

This is after mom left.. looks like I missed some great R & R by the pool.

 Dad and Grandpa also got some golfing in and time with dad's friend Bryan. It really was a great mini vacation, nice weather, fun activities and we were so excited to get to see Grandma and Grandpa..... (and mom's work went well too :-) 

Happy Birthday Uncle Corey

Hope you had a great birthday Uncle Corey. Thanks for always making me smile and giggle. I always have a fun time when you are around!

Have a fun time hunting next week, hope you get some birthday celebrating in!

Love,
Leah

Halloween

Leah's first Halloween was a success. She had fun trick-or-treating (to the one house we went to), giving out candy and even kept her costume on for the whole evening.

Here's our sweet little lady bug...

9 Month Photos

9 month pics were a quick effort this month. I wanted to get some but I'm waiting for her year pictures to take more time to get some really good shots. Plus, with Leah crawling now.. pictures are getting really hard to do. These aren't edited because my computer was down last week and I lost my editing software when it got rebooted.

It was kind of a mess this month :-)

Leah and Ziggy both watched these guys for over a half hour. The pics are hard to see but it is a flock of geese at the pond in our backyard.
