Sunny San Diego



This last weekend we went to San Diego for Chris' brother's wedding. The wedding was in the San Diego temple. The temple was very beautiful and the bride and groom seemed very happy. The reception was at Cari's parent's house. They have a beautiful home and they did a great job with the reception. Chris's whole family (now at 21 people) were able to make it down to for the wedding, so it was fun having everyone together. While in San Diego, we also took the opportunity to go to the beach to enjoy the nice weather. It was a fun weekend and we wish Darren and Cari the best.

Baby Grant

Congratulation Dave, Liz, Blake and Sydney,
and welcome Baby Grant!
What a cute Family. We love you!






Blake and Syd were just so excited for their new
baby brother they could hardly keep their hands off him.
Definitely a proud big brother and sister.



Close up of all 9 lbs 7 oz.



And of course the rest of us were excited to have a new little one around. Olivia still isn't sure what to think but it won't be long before she too, can't keep her hands off him!

The Sunshine State!


This last week I got to go to Florida with Mommy and Daddy. Daddy had some work there so he used some skymiles and got mommy and me a ticket to go with him. We went to Orlando. Mommy tells me Mickey Mouse lives there, but we didn't get to see Mickey this time. Mommy said maybe next time, when I'm older, we can go see Mickey and all his friends.

We did go to beach one day but the weather wasn't very good. A storm was coming in so it was really windy. It was fun to see the big waves though and hang out on the pier.








My favorite part of the trip was playing in the big pool. The pool had a big octopus that sprayed water everywhere. While Daddy worked, Mommy and
I got to catch some rays and relax in the pool. I know, it's a rough life.







I really liked drinking the pool water. It was very salty and very tasty!



I also got to see an alligator for the first time. At the hotel they had a pool with baby alligators in it. In this picture the alligators are on the rock to right of me.



One night I was bored, so I decided to crawl into a drawer and hang out. When mommy saw me she thought it was pretty funny so she took a picture.



The trip was a lot of fun but I'm glad to be home now.

I ♥ NYC

Olivia and I were able to go to the big city of New York. We had a great time. Olivia had a lot to take in from the moment we arrived and I think she enjoyed her time in the Big Apple.




Here she is checking out the busy streets and all those tall buildings!









Olivia's first time on the Subway.











Curtis and Olivia Playing at
one of the city parks







Eating at a Korean restaurant in the
spirit of Chris... although we had a
great time we missed Daddy











Walking the streets of the city









Poor Olivia was exhausted so
we took a break at Bryant Park -
(hoping to spot a celebrity during fashion week-- which we didn't.) Although I did see all kinds of interesting people.











Shopping at H & M .... that was
my favorite part!!




A big thanks to Curtis for Sharing his toys, books and food! He was such a good sport with little miss Olivia in his shadow every waking moment!


And a HUGE thanks to Nicole for all her hospitality and willingness to have us all week!! We had a great time with you both. Thanks for everything you do!

Vacation in the Sun




Last week we went to McCall, ID to Great Grandpa Walker's cabin. It was my first time and it was great! I loved playing on the beach with my umbrella and raft. I also liked the hike we went on, riding bikes, and playing with cousins. The weather was nice and we had a fun time as you can tell by the pictures below.



I'm not quite walking yet, so my daddy carried me on his back. I gave him a thank you hug.





Mommy and I had a fun time playing in the water together.





It was fun riding on the boat. I got to see mommy wake board and daddy ski. Maybe when I'm older I will get to ski and wake board too!!





Riding in style...



McCall is a very pretty place. Daddy says he's been going to McCall ever since he was my age. That's a long time cause he's old.





It was Great Grandpa Walker's 80'th birthday so at the end of the week we had a family reunion with all of daddy's cousins, aunts and uncles. It was fun to meet all my relatives. I think there was like 65 people there.
