Family and California

At the beginning of August the Hansen family came in town for a baby blessing and a reunion, lucky for us, we were able to see them and spend some time with them.

I pulled out my camera to take a picture of Cannon, and he immediately gave me this adorable smile
I love my cousins!

Last week we went to California and it was a blast! We drove Tuesday afternoon and arrived in San Diego late that night. Wednesday Dad had to go into the San Diego office for work so Mom, Erin, and I went to the temple and did some shopping at a mall. Then we drove to a hotel just outside of Glendale and Brandon and Diana came over for a swim. On Thursday we went to Universal Studios and then went to Hollywood Blvd and saw the Stars. We spent the night at Bryant and Marynell's and then Friday morning Dad drove back to San Diego to do some more work while Mom, Erin, and I helped Brandon finish packing up and cleaning their apartment while Diana also went to work. We stayed in a hotel in San Diego and went to Sea World on Saturday. Sadly the fun had to end and we spent Sunday driving home, only to come home to a house with no power. The big wind storm knocked out the power line for part of our neighborhood and so we didn't have power for about 4 hours. But it's okay because now we have Brandon and Diana home which I am so happy for. I missed them.
