San Diego!

Blake and I had a wonderful trip to San Diego this past weekend. It was our first trip without Emery Kate which was very hard for us but very good for us! She had a great time with all her grandparents and we are so thankful for them! Above is a view of Downtown San Diego from a ferry boat. Below is dinner at Hodad's- a yummy burger joint. We ATE a ton this weekend. Good thing I'm pregnant :)

Look at my huge belly at coronado Island
Cute pic of Blaker!
La Jolla, our favorite place in San Diego
Sporting our new shades! We went to the tide pools at La Jolla...we didn't see much but did find a few hermit crab and sea anenome (sp?)
San Diego Zoo:
We enjoyed the zoo a lot! The picture below shows a cheetah and a white golden retriever being walked from one area to another on a leash. Apparently the dog and cheetah are good friends!
I loved seeing the koala bears. They were adorable. Here is one peeking through the tree.
Me with the giraffes.
They had a show with the Sea Lions. It was pretty cute. The sea lion is in the process of blowing the audience a kiss.
The San Diego zoo has panda bears! Fun! They are really neat to see. It was also fun b/c we ran into a friend at the zoo and saw this exhibit together. Pretty random!
The US Grant Hotel
We loved this hotel. It was probably one of the nicest I have stayed in. Blake had mentioned it was our 5 year anniversary when he booked it and so they upgraded our room and brought us up these chocolate covered strawberries when we arrived with this letter. Pretty nice!
Some views of the lobby.




We got EK a little pink guitar at Old Towne area in San Diego. She is already enjoying it! We miss San Diego already but are glad to be back with our precious girl! Can't believe she's going to have a baby sister. We were working on trying to figure out her name all weekend but haven't quite decided yet! We'll keep you posted!

It's a....

GIRL!!!

EK and her cousins at the Conlee family reunion
I love those two!



Emery Kate is REALLY into reading...all day! It's really cute!

Her Great Grandmother Gigi


She loves playing in the fridge...I guess b/c it is so hot outside it's the only place that feels good right now!
