Western

First of all, my Mom got me the most wonderful Cowgirl hat for my birthday. And yes, it's a Stetson! So naturally my Dad and I had to test it out and go on a ride. Oh and we also were testing out his new horse! He's a fox trotter and boy can he move! It was a blast. Thanks Mom and Dad! The pic below is of me and my fearless niece Mya. She isn't afraid of anything. I swear! She'd jump on and ride a horse by herself if she could. A little while ago she jumped right in the pool by herself. She asks her Dad to put on his Halloween masks and scare everyone, and, my personal favorite, she sleeps in the basement alone! AND LVOES IT. Oh man, she's great.

Summer Since India

It's been quite a busy summer people. Right after India we departed on a family vacation! Christians parents rented out a beach house with some other families and we were lucky enough to be invited!
This is my birthday. I spent it all alone.
No just kidding, I spent it with my wonderful husband, inlaws, and about 20 other people I didn't know. They just came down for treats. Can't blame em. But I don't know what's worse. Spending your birthday alone, or spending it with 20 people you don't know who are just trying to use you. Just kidding. Settle down.
Christian took me to this wonderful breakfast place for my birthday. Just he and I! It was called "Pete's" and it was in Ventura. It was the best breakfast place either of us had ever been to. Organic and fresh! While we were at breakfast my in-laws decorated the house for me!
Since it was too cold and windy to do a ton of stuff out on the beach the boys found ways to keep themselves entertained but jumping off the wall into a sand pit.
And no, your eyes aren't deceiving you! Little miss "scared of heights and and practically everything else" jumped off as well. Way to be champ.
This is just cool, it looks like he's diving in to the ocean. I mean, he is.
I just can't think of the right caption for this photo. I don't think words are necessary.
We went to Disneyland one day and let me just tell you, it was NOT the happiest place on earth. They lie. I didn't even see Mickey Mouse. Man that place is so much cooler when you're little. I should have never gone back and just left my memories the way they were.
It IS a small world after all! My best friend from college was on the boat in front of us! No, just kidding, but wouldn't that be so ironic if you saw some random person that you hadn't seen in forever while on this ride? That would have made it a lot more cool!
We built a sandcastle. It looks cooler than it is and we look cooler than we are. Except for Tanner, he really is that cool!
