CALIFORNIA

ok so get ready for picture overload. You will soon realize that I'm not kidding.

Our BYU away game/family vacation this year was to southern California to watch BYU play SDSU. The first night was pretty rough (delayed flights, car rental problems, hungry family=impatient family, etc). After we sorted through the car rental problems (only got one HHR this year - SCORE) we stopped by the San Diego Temple where some of us did sealings and others did baptisms. Clayton and I have done ordinance work here before and believe you me inside is just as beautiful the second time around. I love this Temple. I also loved doing sealings with my family. It was pretty special. CLAYTON: Humidity makes me feel chubby.

CORTNEY: Humidity makes me feel sexy.

Oh yes he did! Here is the picture to prove it. Ladies last time I checked he was still single. Our hotel was in Oceanside, super nice and right on the beach. Can't ask for anything better than that. On Friday, everyone but Clayton, Cort, and myself went to Sea World. Yes we are the party poopers (who are poor). Cort went to visit a mission friend while Clayton and I hit up (what else) the beach.

Later we met up with everyone at La Jolla Coves where we saw these... ... and lots of these. The boys (Cort, Brandon, and Clayton) pondering how they were so lucky to have me as a sister/wife. They must have done something right in their previous life.

One of my goals on this trip was to convert the family to the "overly mentioned, but definitely not mentioned enough on this blog" YogurtLand. This mission was a SUCCESS! They loved it! I couldn't have been happier. They loved it so much that we went everyday. I hope that when I get a franchise in Utah you all will come support me.
Clayton need to use the restroom at YogurtLand and come to find out you have to pay to go to the bathroom. Strange...
After YogurtLand some of us hit the pool/hot tub. Kace found new love in my goggles. Stunning isn't he!?!
The next day we hit the beach. Kace loved running away from the waves.
Clayton loved burying Brandon in the sand making him look like a mermaid. Pretty sure Brandon loved being a mermaid...

Clayton took down Brandon and then...
...Cortney.
Don't you just love the flailing arms!?!
Rachel and Kace played some volleyball

The whole fam (except mom and dad who were stuck in a stupid meeting).
After the beach and before the game we hit up YogurtLand again.

Us at Qualcomm Stadium
The fam watching the game.
Which by the way BYU won. Wasn't a pretty win, but I'll take any win from them these days.
Next morning we headed home. sigh...

THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR A GREAT TRIP.
BRING ON FLORIDA STATE/BYU 2010!

Heidi,

My beloved friend, I must tell you that you have gotten much too skinny. I think you must talk too much about food on your blog and not actually eat the mentioned food. Give up the yougart and eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's which has 19 grams of fat per scoop.

Love,
Your friend who just had a baby and does not like skinny people right now.
Tara
