But let's be honest, I'm too lazy to make up for lost time. So, this is where I'm starting...<br /><br /><br />On May 2, 2010 I ran my first marathon! Woo hoo! It was so hard! Mentally and physically demanding. I ran the marathon up in Orange County with about 10,000 other runners. I kept up a good pace for most of the run, but the last six miles really killed me. My back started to ache really bad and so I slowed down to walk for a bit. Well, once I started walking, it was hard to start up running again. I probably walked a good part of those last six miles which really disappointed me. My finishing time ended up being 5:04.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYEvPcJZI/AAAAAAAABMk/yMAoVN1CdZE/s1600/DSC_0185.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482314591073215890" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYEvPcJZI/AAAAAAAABMk/yMAoVN1CdZE/s400/DSC_0185.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYFHY4lFI/AAAAAAAABMs/u9UAJpMI1f4/s1600/DSC_0223.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482314597555278930" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYFHY4lFI/AAAAAAAABMs/u9UAJpMI1f4/s400/DSC_0223.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Trapped. After the race, we go straight into a 'runners' only' area with food and drinks. I had a hard time eating. I was super close to losing it in this photo. Very nauseous. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYFsvb_-I/AAAAAAAABM0/SpNGJpxv3V0/s1600/DSC_0239.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482314607581986786" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYFsvb_-I/AAAAAAAABM0/SpNGJpxv3V0/s400/DSC_0239.JPG" /></a> Julia's obsessed with my medal.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYGOBPmYI/AAAAAAAABM8/aCizyfxFFWM/s1600/DSC_0244.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482314616515041666" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYGOBPmYI/AAAAAAAABM8/aCizyfxFFWM/s400/DSC_0244.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYGpr4YiI/AAAAAAAABNE/1Gv28qpiINk/s1600/DSC_0245.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482314623941632546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUYGpr4YiI/AAAAAAAABNE/1Gv28qpiINk/s400/DSC_0245.JPG" /></a><br /><div>So, not being thrilled with my finishing time, I felt the need to run another. My friend, Catherine, and I were able to run the San Diego Rock n Roll marathon on June 6Th with 40,000 other runners. That's right, two marathons (and a hair color change) within almost a month of each other. I am a little insane... Well, this one wasn't any easier. More hills and warmer weather proved to be more challenging than OC Marathon. Although, with the help of my running buddy, I was able to beat my time by twelve minutes and I ran the race in 4:52. </div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUbjpRaGTI/AAAAAAAABN8/hLiYt5KvZeU/s1600/DSC_0264.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482318420581685554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUbjpRaGTI/AAAAAAAABN8/hLiYt5KvZeU/s400/DSC_0264.JPG" /></a> Funny story. At this point, I have completed at least half the marathon and am super hungry. Julia runs out to meet me with a nectarine. It's hers though, she just happened to be holding it when I ran by. I try to take a bite, Julia freaks out. I take a bite anyway knowing she's being ridiculous. Nathan tells me later on after the race that she was so mad a bout me taking a bite of her nectarine that she refused to eat it and he had to drive home and get her a new one. Oh boy...</div><div>(Also, a little side note, as wonderful as my husband is in supporting me, notice my daughters scary hair in both this and previous photos. Please, can he not manage a ponytail???)<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUbjLCGiaI/AAAAAAAABN0/heC5TmoEqdw/s1600/DSC_0291.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 303px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482318412464425378" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUbjLCGiaI/AAAAAAAABN0/heC5TmoEqdw/s400/DSC_0291.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUaxS3omSI/AAAAAAAABNs/fgd4cq7yAB4/s1600/DSC_0293.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482317555574544674" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUaxS3omSI/AAAAAAAABNs/fgd4cq7yAB4/s400/DSC_0293.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUawy7M81I/AAAAAAAABNk/FjSKjrBnZNg/s1600/DSC_0308.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482317546999575378" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUawy7M81I/AAAAAAAABNk/FjSKjrBnZNg/s400/DSC_0308.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUawGhtjiI/AAAAAAAABNc/ZdFNGaQtsQo/s1600/DSC_0311.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482317535081500194" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUawGhtjiI/AAAAAAAABNc/ZdFNGaQtsQo/s400/DSC_0311.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUavazi1UI/AAAAAAAABNU/T9UhC6MiTPo/s1600/DSC_0315.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482317523345134914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUavazi1UI/AAAAAAAABNU/T9UhC6MiTPo/s400/DSC_0315.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUau732pmI/AAAAAAAABNM/g0cp4GWBigc/s1600/DSC_0322.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482317515041711714" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/TBUau732pmI/AAAAAAAABNM/g0cp4GWBigc/s400/DSC_0322.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>I do think I am hooked now, though.

Well, in my case that wasn't necessary since I have a season pass. So instead of a free ticket in, I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">received</span> a gift card for the amount of a ticket. Good deal, huh? Well Nathan's season pass had expired the week earlier, so I used it toward the price of renewing his pass.<br />Anyway, when I woke up that morning, it was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pouring</span> rain. I was still determined to go though so I could get my gift card. Nathan, luckily, was able to get off work <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">early</span> and come with us.

Our good friends, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Zac</span> and Catherine Griffith, and their two little girls, Isabelle and Ava, came for a visit. The first couple of days we just kinda chilled. Wednesday and Thursday were a little busier. We drove up to Anaheim Wednesday morning to go to Disneyland! Wednesday was a little stressful for me. Before we went to the park, we checked into our hotel that we would be staying in that night. Then Nathan walked to the gas station next door to put air in our stroller tires. Well, it turns out one of the tires had a thorn in it, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">which</span> caused a small leak, so by the time we walked over to the park, in what seemed like blazing heat, it was flat again. Nathan was able to borrow a pump from the stroller rental place, but it was flat again in a couple hours, so we just pushed it on a flat. So, by the time we'd gone on a couple rides, I was stressed about the stroller, super hot, (I wore jeans. Not smart.) and in pain. I had wore a new pair of shoes and in return <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">received</span> a huge blister on both <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">pinky</span> toes. At about six we were totally wiped, and as a joke I told the guys they should take the kids to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">McDonalds</span>, and let Catherine and I play. They went for it, and Catherine and I enjoyed the park for about an hour and a half longer before we headed back to the hotel. That was very nice. <p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384491323529110882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SrmOVJsgJWI/AAAAAAAAA8I/5HEbUgfdbVs/s400/005.JPG" border="0" />Mason and Minnie, very cute</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SrmOLo9ckjI/AAAAAAAAA8A/lIYKYoYHux8/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384491160122987058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SrmOLo9ckjI/AAAAAAAAA8A/lIYKYoYHux8/s400/017.JPG" border="0" /></a> Mason was trying to take off Jasmine's straps!

It was more crowded than I'm used to, but still fun. Mason LOVED it! In just two and a half months, he has developed so much more, and totally got a kick out of all the rides and parades. It was so cute! When we'd get on a ride, he would giggle and bounce on my lap with excitement. My new friend, Kristi, and her daughter, Ella, came with us. We had a blast! </div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SpASnUAABpI/AAAAAAAAA54/0ELfL-XGUMk/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372814822045910674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SpASnUAABpI/AAAAAAAAA54/0ELfL-XGUMk/s400/006.JPG" border="0" /></a>We saw Chip (or is that Dale?) in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Frontierland</span>, and he was showing the girls where we should go next.

Hooray! (Well, 6:00) So we decided to go down to Sea World and catch their Shamu night show. It's called Shamu Rocks. It's pretty cool, and Julia loves it! Since we weren't going to be there long, and were planning on going home right after the show, we decided to be brave for once and sit in the soak zone. We were on the second row dead center. Well, Shamu did a good job and we got soaked! Totally worth it to be up close and personal, though.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJT0wxiPI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/QMuaPidc2No/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369215785685321970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJT0wxiPI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/QMuaPidc2No/s400/001.JPG" border="0" /></a> Waiting for the show to start</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJUsBNA2I/AAAAAAAAA5g/UU5pe14GpBo/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369215800518181730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJUsBNA2I/AAAAAAAAA5g/UU5pe14GpBo/s400/003.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJVkqZrWI/AAAAAAAAA5o/NH_Y4DVsk5Q/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369215815723363682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJVkqZrWI/AAAAAAAAA5o/NH_Y4DVsk5Q/s400/008.JPG" border="0" /></a>I think my camera got a little wet, too </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJWT3V-oI/AAAAAAAAA5w/Hrssv_uztlI/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369215828394113666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SoNJWT3V-oI/AAAAAAAAA5w/Hrssv_uztlI/s400/009.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">Mason was in between a laugh and a cry for this picture. I think he was having fun, but not sure if he liked the cold water. I think Julia was a little cranky, though.

We had so much fun while they were here! It was just a bummer Nathan was working so much he barely got to hang out :(<br />While they were here we took our first trip to the World Famous San Diego Zoo (since we moved). I was purposely waiting for their trip before we visited, because the last time we came to the zoo was with them on vacation when Julia was only 4 months old! So we wanted to make our next trip with them as well. But this time I knew it wouldn't be as long in between trips and I went ahead and purchased a season pass.</span><br /><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8ait7PoMI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/_2HuK4I6YF8/s1600-h/018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363534864967508162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8ait7PoMI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/_2HuK4I6YF8/s400/018.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8ah6sNgBI/AAAAAAAAA4I/A8Bm6QrlEvw/s1600-h/san_diego_2009_094.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363534851214245906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8ah6sNgBI/AAAAAAAAA4I/A8Bm6QrlEvw/s400/san_diego_2009_094.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">Julia and Braelyn</span> </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8ahKV64GI/AAAAAAAAA4A/L0xj0fmnvY4/s1600-h/san_diego_2009_158.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363534838235848802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8ahKV64GI/AAAAAAAAA4A/L0xj0fmnvY4/s400/san_diego_2009_158.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8agS-DLWI/AAAAAAAAA34/BdvGvKA3TX4/s1600-h/san_diego_2009_141.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363534823371779426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sm8agS-DLWI/AAAAAAAAA34/BdvGvKA3TX4/s400/san_diego_2009_141.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">Braelyn had her whole face painted with a beautiful butterfly and Julia really wanted hers done as well.

Of Course they were very sweet and helpful with their "niece and nephew" and I think we had a great time!<br />We took them to La Jolla cove to see the seals.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcoNfdKPI/AAAAAAAAA2g/zzvjztfFPHA/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcoNfdKPI/AAAAAAAAA2g/zzvjztfFPHA/s320/005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355163277806348530" /></a><br />We went around Balboa Park looking at all the cool buildings, gardens and museums. Meagan insisted on wearing the wrap. I think it suits her :)<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcoYm3OvI/AAAAAAAAA2o/EwSU24yGiAs/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcoYm3OvI/AAAAAAAAA2o/EwSU24yGiAs/s320/008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355163280790207218" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcpbdTFUI/AAAAAAAAA3A/ANjuI_sgj0Y/s1600-h/014+(2).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcpbdTFUI/AAAAAAAAA3A/ANjuI_sgj0Y/s320/014+(2).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355163298735265090" /></a><br />We watched the fireworks on the roof of Nathan's hospital. It would have been nice to be closer, but it was cool to watch six firework shows at once.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcoyyqV1I/AAAAAAAAA2w/J04hivm11qo/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcoyyqV1I/AAAAAAAAA2w/J04hivm11qo/s320/015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355163287819016018" /></a><br />Julia thinks it's funny to go cross eyed in almost every photo I take of her. I don't...<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcpC3aXGI/AAAAAAAAA24/3BNfxNht9zQ/s1600-h/020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SlFcpC3aXGI/AAAAAAAAA24/3BNfxNht9zQ/s320/020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355163292133907554" /></a><br />Hope every one enjoyed their Fourth of July and we all continue to enjoy our <br />independence!<br /><br />I also wanted to add that Julia has turned into the language police (I've been teaching her that words like stupid, shut up and butt are naughty). Anyway, she catches me saying them all the time, though. I think I get into more trouble for saying them than she does! It's pretty funny because if I say one of them, she'll interrupt me and say,"Uh oh, Mommy! That's a bad word! You're gonna go to time out!" And this weekend she was on triple duty. She had Meagan, Cory and me to reprimand. By the time they left, we were pretty good at substituting the "naughty" words for more appropriate ones. I'm glad I have my daughter to keep me in check.Jeppesen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08465639977822902799noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839802691853001476.post-80260511565418997352009-06-24T16:58:00.000-07:002009-06-24T17:52:53.916-07:00Coronado Island and Cabrillo National ParkThe past couple of weeks my brother, Parker, and sister, Karsyn, were here in San Diego visiting with us. We had fun, and it was good for Julia to practice sharing here toys and mommy. Sunday my mom, grandmother and two more of my sisters, Kourney and Kellan, came to pick them up and visit. It was nice to have them here.

We had never been there before, since usually when we'd visit San Diego we go to Mission Beach. Well, it's my new favorite beach! There were seals everywhere, which was very cool. Also, there are tide pools where Julia could go explore. She loves looking at the crabs and the "goos" (sea urchins).<br />Here's a picture of some of the seals. When we were down on the beach, one of them just waddled up on shore right next to us! I couldn't believe it!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBlD-7rpI/AAAAAAAAAy4/zW0MCXBpbgs/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBlD-7rpI/AAAAAAAAAy4/zW0MCXBpbgs/s320/015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342889375413546642" /></a> You can see more seals in the background.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBk2dXaKI/AAAAAAAAAyw/1NFxw2CNNOM/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBk2dXaKI/AAAAAAAAAyw/1NFxw2CNNOM/s320/016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342889371783096482" /></a> I bought a big blanket for Mason to play on, but he likes the sand so much that as soon as I put him down, he books it for the sand!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBkhM2JvI/AAAAAAAAAyo/vb563dztXM4/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBkhM2JvI/AAAAAAAAAyo/vb563dztXM4/s320/017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342889366076663538" /></a> And then he gets covered in it.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBkd_rRSI/AAAAAAAAAyg/9buXEtO93LA/s1600-h/022.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBkd_rRSI/AAAAAAAAAyg/9buXEtO93LA/s320/022.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342889365216118050" /></a> Luckily I can keep his binky in most of the time so he doesn't eat too much of it :) <br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBkOZDVmI/AAAAAAAAAyY/j9048_dNGIU/s1600-h/024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/SiXBkOZDVmI/AAAAAAAAAyY/j9048_dNGIU/s320/024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342889361027585634" /></a> We had so much fun at this beach. In the cove there was a place where people were swimming out into the ocean and back. The distances were marked with buoys. Well, Nathan decided to go for a swim and when he came back he said he really liked it and there were a lot of fish to look at. So I decided to conquer one of my biggest fears of swimming in the ocean and take the plunge, literally. I made it about 3/4 the way to the quarter mile buoy and then had to turn around because I was almost hyperventilating. I don't know why, but open water freaks me out! I was so scared! It took so much out of me to stay calm enough to make it back to shore. I'm gonna keep trying though, until I can do it!Jeppesen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08465639977822902799noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839802691853001476.post-75462039171402250102009-05-28T22:28:00.000-07:002009-05-28T22:47:23.100-07:00We're Leaving L.A.It came really quick. Our six months are over and now we're headed out. Nathan starts residency in San Diego next month. We'll be moving down there first thing Saturday morning, and for now we're just trying to get everything all packed up. It is proving to be difficult with the kids. Julia keeps throwing random things in boxes and unpacking others, while Mason tries to eat any boxes or other things we leave on the floor. Hopefully the move will go smoothly. This will be our eighth since we got married almost five years ago!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sh9zehzDZjI/AAAAAAAAAyA/eWkU7U69feg/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sh9zehzDZjI/AAAAAAAAAyA/eWkU7U69feg/s320/006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341114651390469682" /></a><br />It's been a sad week of goodbyes too, though. We went to Disneyland yesterday for the last time. Well, as for weekly trips. We will still probably make the 90 minute drive from SD every couple months. But we will miss the weekly venture. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sh91FshcWaI/AAAAAAAAAyI/F7LHKa-Nip0/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 188px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sh91FshcWaI/AAAAAAAAAyI/F7LHKa-Nip0/s320/006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341116423795923362" /></a><br />Julia also had her soccer finale. She had a chance to say goodbye to her friends and coach. She had so much fun running around the field and doing jumping jacks.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sh92McZwMEI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/EwodajIUsjY/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sh92McZwMEI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/EwodajIUsjY/s320/005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341117639239413826" /></a><br />We're gonna miss it here! Not so much the traffic, tiny apartment and huge rent, but our friends and all the cool things Los Angeles has to offer!Jeppesen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08465639977822902799noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839802691853001476.post-42074457578389218882009-05-15T07:42:00.000-07:002009-05-15T08:06:45.443-07:00Quarter of a Century!Yesterday, May 14th, was Nathan's 25th birthday! I almost felt like it was our whole families' birthday, though, because of all the fun we all had! We started out the day at Newport Beach. It was perfect! The weather was beautiful.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2CnLTtHGI/AAAAAAAAAx4/WOslnSk2F1g/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2CnLTtHGI/AAAAAAAAAx4/WOslnSk2F1g/s320/010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336064743065853026" /></a><br /><br />After a few hours at the beach, we headed over to Disneyland. Since Nathan doesn't need to get in free on his birthday (we have season passes), he received a gift card for the price of the ticket, $69, to spend in the park. So when we got there, we hit one ride and then Nathan spent the next couple of hours spoiling his kids. Julia got the most stuff, most of the things she was asking for when we would go every week. Nathan got her a Buzz Lightyear gun, a light sabre (that Nathan built himself in the Star Tours store), and a pirate hat, hook and sword. Really, you would think she was a boy. But I guess it's appropriate that her daddy got her all those gifts. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2Cm63fuOI/AAAAAAAAAxw/yUpZa39f9dg/s1600-h/021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2Cm63fuOI/AAAAAAAAAxw/yUpZa39f9dg/s320/021.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336064738652567778" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2Cmu06P1I/AAAAAAAAAxo/vuGwJtfYGGo/s1600-h/028.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2Cmu06P1I/AAAAAAAAAxo/vuGwJtfYGGo/s320/028.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336064735420497746" /></a><br />Then Nathan picked out a super soft Winnie the Pooh for Mason. He really loves it! All Nathan got for himself was a sweet treat in one of the bakeries. Afterward we were going to do dinner at Cheesecake Factory, but were way too tired, so we just hit In N Out Burger on the way home. <br />I think he had a great day. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2CmmYpjoI/AAAAAAAAAxg/YfoL2Rr1E2E/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jsr8lTKr5ho/Sg2CmmYpjoI/AAAAAAAAAxg/YfoL2Rr1E2E/s320/030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336064733154479746" /></a>I am so happy he is my husband.
