Part of my gift for our anniversary this year was to have Kent go see the Padres at Petco Park. We've toured the stadium but he has never been to a Padres game. 

So, since my dad works there part time, he got us free tickets!

It was a fun night. 

 My mom and Kent's parents watched our boys that evening. It was such a treat!

Birthday Party for the boys

Will and Sam had a birthday party in San Diego on July 6th! 

 First of all, I have the coolest family ever and that is defiantly including my in laws too! This party came together because of them. Its not easy planning a party when you don't even live there. 

My Uncle Leo came early that morning and did so much for us that day. My sweet day got up early and saved us a sweet area at the park. My aunts all brought a delicious side dish. my mom made the best rice, beans and Carne Asada oh and we had like 5 different kinds of salsa. My sweet mother in law Judy bought and cut up all the fruit AND brought the yummiest and cutest cake ever! 

But what really made this so great, was having so many come and share this wonderful day for our boys. 

Thank you everyone! 

For the decorations, I printed a picture of Sam's first year. Each picture represents a month. 

For Will I printed out a picture of when he was 1, 2, 3 and 4! 

It was such an easy decoration and so cheap too. 

After the party, i just gave them to my mom. 

Most of my decorations, I made to save money.

Thank you MOM and Judy!!!!!!

Coronado Beach

Today the weather was perfect.

We decided to take the boys to the beach and try out the fun beach stuff Grandma Judy got them that morning.

The boys loved playing in the sand, they didn't want to leave!

July Fourth

Independence day in our favorite city.

We had a pretty chill day with family. 

We spent the morning with my family at my Aunt's Spanish Branch annual breakfast.

Will played with cousins and got soaked with water guns. Mean while Sam was stuffing his cute face with whatever my mom gave him. Kent and I enjoyed talking with my cousins and branch members. 

Later that day we had dinner with my in laws. One of the many things that I love about my mother in law Judy, is her love to decorate for any occasion. I love that. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a sucker for that. 

My cousin Caroline and her husband invited us over to her house to watch firework at her apartment in Downtown.

The view was super cool!

Thanks Caro! 

One of my dreams came true today! 

Kent knows how much I love Sea Otters. 

Like a lot!!!

So while Grandma Judy and Grandpa Keith took Will and Sam to the SD Zoo, Kent and I went to Sea World. 

First thing we did was go on the Roller Coasters. 

It was so nice going to a theme park without kids. 

After that we went over to The Sea Otter exhibit to see the trainers feed the baby Sea Otters on the other side of the glass. 

After Robby ( the Otter training) finished telling us about Otters, we went up to him and started asking him questions, and next thing you know, he took us in side the otter nursery! I'm not gonna lie, I almost cried. My inner child couldn't believe that I had the privilege of being up close!!! 

Kent took some video of this experience too but i'll post that later.  

Bucket List: Sea Otters up close..... CHECK! 

Movie date with my boy

Grossmont Theater had a kids movie special while we were visiting. 

So Will and I went to see a movie with my mom and our little cousins. 

We saw King Fu Panda and the kids loved it.

San Diego Vacation Part 1
