Rowen made her first real move this week. She is now seven months and can sit up on her own and has been trying to scoot. This is what I caught on tape. I think she will be crawling sooner than I originally thought. Enjoy!

"Summer Time and the Livin is Easy"
This summer we decided we would take a trip to Cali to see both our fams. Christian was able to come for a week so we all flew out together and spent a week with his parents. Then he headed back home and I went down to my mom's for another three weeks. A whole month in Cali. Yes, it was nice. Jealous are we? =)
Since we did so much, I will just give you the highlights, I am sure you can figure out the rest from some of the pictures I took.
First, we went with the Towners to Legoland. That was awesome. It was our first time there, busy, but a lot of fun. I was just amazed by the display of legos. I couldn't stop taking pictures. That was one of my favorite things to do growing up. I always wanted legos for Christmas.
We went to the pool, Kiley took Riley for walks and picked lots of flowers, some even bigger than her. LOL. We went to see the play Annie at moonlight theater. Kiley loved it and loves to sing "Tomorrow" LOUDLY everywhere...that includes sacrament meeting. LOL.
We went and visited our friends, the Monroes, out in Redondo Beach and had yummy Mexican food at El Burrito Jr., went to the beach and got ice cream on the pier. It was so good to see them again. We miss Redondo and I look forward to living there again in seven years or so. The count down is on Heidi!!
Other things we did: Kiley got to feed the ducks, and she got her driver's license, LOL, barely... this was at legoland, she was great with the gas but the steering needs a lot of work. We went to IN N OUT. We got to go to the temple for a session and out for sushi one day at Samurai, my fave. Yum!
Next I went down to my mom's with the girls. We went to the beach, spent time at the pool, filled my Cali cravings, including: real Mexican food, frozen yogurt, sushi (again), rubios, thrifty's ice cream, yummy horchata at Albertos, and Carl's jr to name a few, fried zucchini, yum!
My favorite thing was taking Kiley to Disneyland with my mom. Kiley was very excited about this. When she first found out that we were going to Cali she asked if we could go to Disneyland. I told her that we wouldn't be able to do that this trip. But I ended up getting a $200 gift card that covered our tickets, parking, food and then some. So you can imagine how excited she was when I told her we were going to Disneyland. The Dawson's watched Rowen for us all day so that I could really pay attention to Kiley. We both really needed that time together. Kiley's favorite ride was Splash Mountain...my little dare devil (I wish I would have taken a picture of it).
Other things we did: we took Kiley to the temple to get her first Book of Mormon. She was very excited. My sister came out with her girls from Utah. We got to catch up with the Dawson's and even have a night out just us kids. It was a lot of fun catching up and reminiscing about all of Ian's dating experiences. LOL. You know we all love ya Ian! We celebrated birthdays, tried new recipes and had a lot of fun.
When we got back we celebrated Christian's birthday. Kiley was sad she didn't get to blow out the candles so Christian relighted some to give her a chance. LOL.
Enjoy the pics.
