This past week was great, we went to San Diego and stayed a week at my parent's beach house. This is really one of my favorite vacations, since the house is literally on the beach so I can be out on the sand all day. It is just so relaxing and enjoyable, San Diego really has the best weather.
Evelyn enjoyed being out on the beach just as much as I did watching the waves and the surfers go by.
At the end of the boardwalk there a fun little place with food, stores and rides. I got to ride the roller coaster which is my favorite and then we of course got yummy snowcones.
The cousins had a fun time together and of course we had to get pictures of the two of them.
Kyle made Evelyn a little bed in the drawer of the dresser. She absolutely loved it and slept so well . The dresser is built into the wall so no worries of it falling over.
It was an awesome vacation, with a lot of beach time, swimming in the ocean, eating lots of good food. Kyle and I were able to make it out one night and go to a restaurant where you cook your own meat on the grill which was kind of fun and finish it off with some ice cream from Ghiradellis chocolate and ice cream parlor.
This past weekend my family went to Arizona to attend my grandmothers funeral. I really can't express how wonderful of a service it was, there was a lot of laughter and tears. She was a woman of strength, love and virtue. She was so strong in her beliefs and would always mention how much she loved her Heavenly Father. Growing up I always loved going to my grandparents house in Arizona and having so much fun on the ranch. We would ride horses, play in the creek, ride the tractor and watch grandpa round up the cattle. We were always considered the "city" cousins so at times it felt good just to go out enjoy the air and get dirty. It gives me great peace to know that my grandma is probably so much happier now being with my grandpa and enjoying being out of pain. I loved hearing her stories and I am really going to miss her, she was a great example and I hope I can strive to emulate her in my life. I am so thankful for the gospel in my life, knowing one day I will see my grandparents again and that when we leave this life we can go to a much better place. I love hearing the story of how my grandparents met. Grandma was a high school girls basketball coach and grandpa was a player on the boys team. Yes grandma is three years older than grandpa. She said she would love watching him play, but she also said at the time, he was too young to marry, but too big to put on her dresser. I love grandma so much and am so thankful I was able to have such a great influence in my life.
