Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 7 year anniversary! How the time does fly right by. Wow. Life is great!

We wanted to do something fun together (especially before the baby comes) so we decided to take a road trip down to San Diego together. Kaylee got to stay with Gramma.

We had so much fun. When we first got there we went to Coronado Island, had lunch and walked around a little bit. Then we headed up to Balboa Park. What a beautiful park! And so huge, too.

The botanical garden there is amazing. Take a look at some of the pics...





The craziest thing...we were walking around the park and who do we happen to run into? Two of Holly's cousins who decided that morning that they were going to go down to San Diego. They just so happened to be at Balboa Park, in the same garden at the exact same time that we were. How crazy, huh?!?

Day two we went to the beautiful San Diego temple. Awesome. Then we went to La Jolla cove and got to see these fat, lazy, stinky seals lounging on the beach. Pretty cool though.

Look at the little dude just chillin...he must be full from the little girl he just ate (see the pink shoe right next to him?). Hahaha ;-)

The cliffs at La Jolla Cove.

This trip was long overdue! We had a blast and can't wait to do it again!

Visit from Grandpops & Meme

A couple of weeks ago we got a visit from Jared's dad and his wife, Mary Ann. We had a blast! Grandpops and Meme loved seeing Kaylee again (it had been a whole year since last time).

Every time they come Kaylee gets a new dress! Look how pretty she looks in this one!

Pops and I had fun building some flower boxes to beautify our house. I think they turned out great!

Here is Grandpops reading Kaylee a story...

I think Kaylee's favorite part of the visit was making cookies for the first time...

Sprinkles and all...


Look how happy she is! She loved it!

And of course, she LOVED eating them too.


We can't wait until next summer's visit!

Baby Thomson #2 Is A...

So we had the ultrasound today! We're glad that it's over - we didn't like this place nearly as much as the place we went to for Kaylee's ultrasound. This place was running real late (Holly had a full bladder too) and they didn't even let Jared go in for the first 30 min. But when we finally got to see the monitor and see the baby moving and healthy etc, we were quite happy!

We both thought that it would be a girl, so we were shocked to hear them say BOY! We're both very excited, even though we're still trying to let it soak in.

Here's the proof!
