Last weekend we made sugar cookies and watched Elf.






I've packed our bags and now we are just waiting for Mike to finish his last final. Five more days and then home to family, snow and Christmas.

We are loving the rain....



And this cute gear from grandma Hedin.

My Birthday and Thanksgiving

We had a nice relaxing day for my birthday. Mike had school so when he got home we went and saw New Moon. I liked it and might possibly be team Jacob now. Then we came home and had dinner out on the deck. One of the good things about San Diego. It was the end of November and we were eating outside.



We stayed here for Thanksgiving and I attempted to make Thanksgiving dinner. It went fine, I think it turned out alright. But we sure missed our families a lot. We forget to take pictures. Sad.

On Saturday we went to the zoo. It was cooler so the animals were out and more active. It was a lot of fun.




We are counting down the days until we get to go home for Christmas. We miss Logan and especially our families.

Quick trip

On Saturday we had a dinner for the Law School Society that Mike is a part of. I was really nervous to leave Dawson with a neighboor because he is still kind of little. I called my mom and was semi joking with her about her coming to babysit. She called me the next day and said she had enough frequent flyer miles and could come for the weekend. I am so greatful for such an awesome mom. We got to go to lunch, do some Christmas shopping and just hang out. And of course Dawson got spoiled once again. We ended up being gone for almost six hours so I was so glad she was here. Thank you so much mom. We already miss you. :)



Dawson started rice cereal this weekend and loves it so far.

Halloween weekend

My parents came out for the weekend and we had so much fun. They brought us lots of food and of course Dawson was spoiled with tons of presents. We got to go to the zoo, shopping, out to eat, trick or treating at Sea World, and just spent time hanging out. I always miss them so much when they leave but am so great full they got to come. This was by far my favorite Halloween. Thank you so much parents for coming. We love you guys.

Backseat Wife

So, we are driving home from Baskin Robins the other day. Dawson was not happy about being in his car seat so I decided to sit in the back to help calm him down a little bit. We get to a stoplight and a car full of girls pulls up next to us. I guess they didn't see me and Dawson sitting in the back because the girl in the front proceeded to roll her window down and signal Mike. She was totally trying to hit on him. A girl from the back must have told her about me because she got really awkward her face got bright red and she rolled the window back up. We sat there laughing at her while she tried really hard to avoid eye contact with us. That light could not change fast enough for her. In a way I felt bad because I knew she probably felt pretty dumb. But, we got a good laugh.

Halloween Costume

I know it's still a little bit early but we got Dawson his Halloween costume and had to share......

Zoo, Animal Park, and a quick trip home

Last weekend we went to the zoo and the animal park. Dawson started out in his stroller but didn't last long. He clearly likes the pack better. I ended up pushing around an empty stroller. Next time we aren't taking it. :)





I was able to go home for a few days. We went to Dawson's doctor appointment and hung out with the Hedin's. It was so good to see my family. We had so much fun. Dawson is getting big. He is 23.5 inches now and weighs almost 13 pounds. He is such a cute guy. We love him so much and feel very lucky to have him.

MIke's Birthday and Labor Day

Mike's birthday was on the 31st. We went to the San Diego aquarium during the day and to dinner and Sea World at night. The night shows are awesome and we had a lot of fun. Happy Birthday to Mike.



For Labor day we went to breakfast at this cute little cafe we found that you can eat outside. It was really good. Then we spent the day at the pool. Dawson hated how cold the water was and screamed when I put his feet in. Hopefully he gets over that. We also went to an outlet mall that is off the last US exit. Kind of weird you could see Mexico. It had way good stores though and we will for sure go back. It was fun to have a weekend to just hang out. Mike was excited to not have school and I was glad to have him home for a day.



And it wouldn't be complete without some cute random pictures of Dawson.

Blog overload

We finally got the internet at our new place in San Diego. So there is a lot to post.
First, we blessed our baby


Mike did an awesome job and it was so fun to have family around before we moved

We moved



My family drove with us. All but Dave and Ashley who had to work. And we were able to do some fun things while they were here. We went to Sea world and Mike and I got season passes which I was pretty excited about, went to Torrey Pines(a famous golf course) mike and my dad and brothers loved it, to a fun little shopping area by the ocean and out to eat. It was so fun having them around.








We have learned some fun things about Dawson over the past month.
He loves taking baths


He wont sleep in any other position. His hands have to be up and out of his blanket. It's so funny.

He is a smiley guy

He is dang cute


If your being too loud he will plug his ears

And he is so cuddly


Overall things are going good with us. We are just trying to adjust to living in San Diego. Mike is liking law school like I knew he would and I am having fun staying home. We are loving our little guy and all the cute things he does. He is so much fun. We are very lucky.
