Utah Trip

With school and work, Dan and I haven't been able to make it back to Utah since we moved last May! My mom wanted the throw me a baby shower so we decided to make a trip out of it! We had so much fun visiting family and friends. We especially had fun playing with our cute nieces!

Here is Dan with our niece Ce!

Here I am coloring with Liis. We were glad she warmed up to us so quickly since she was only 3 months old when we left.

Addison is the newest member of our family! She is so cute!

Dan is quite the ladies man! Our nieces Liis, Claire, and Ce loved hanging out with him :)

We loved our visit to Utah, however we did miss our sunny California!

What we did in Vegas... we can share on the blog!

To make the trip back from Utah not as long, my Dad offered his condo timeshare in Vegas for us to stay in! Our friends Seth and Cindy were visiting family in Utah the same week as us, so they joined us on their way back to California :)

We had fun treking around the strip looking at the huge casino's and all their glamore.

Here I am posing inside of the Paris Casino

Caesar's Palace had some really elaborate things to look at, including this foundain!

Dan and I have never been to the Las Vegas Temple so we thought we would go check it out!

We made a stop at the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory. Unfortunately we found out when we got there, that they don't show the chocolate making process on Saturday's. Oh well, we still got to have some free samples!

In front of the Chocolate Factory was a cactus garden, random enough! Dan loves desert fauna so we walked around for a bit and checked it out.

The Conservatory at the Bellagio was really pretty. It had water foundains, plants, and even a room where you could go see all kinds of butterflies! Cindy and I thought these watering can foundains were cool!Where ever we went Dan and Seth loved to mess around in the water. Boys will be boys!

We had a lot of fun playing with Seth and Cindy in Vegas. As for Vegas itself, I wasn't too impressed and wouldn't be disappointed if that was my last visit:)

Baby Shower!

For Spring Break Dan and I decided to take a trip up to Utah since we haven't been back since last May. While we were there my mom through me a baby shower! It was really fun to see friends and family. Here are some pics!

I had to get a picture with Dan's cute grandma (Omi)

Thanks to everyone that came. It was really fun to see you!

Strawberry Jam

Well it is start of strawberry season in California. We picked up some delicious strawberries from the fruit stand and decided to make some jam! If you call eating the strawberries as we go helping, then Dan helped a lot!
Now we get to enjoy the fruits of our labors! (no pun intended)
