One Year Older

On Sunday I celebrated my 26th birthday. This week I had someone ask me if I was turning 21, and someone else ask if I was turning 30. I guess somewhere in the middle isn't so bad.

The wether celebrated my birthday by becoming beautiful and much cooler, and Henson celebrated by making it easily through a straight hour of sacrament meeting. It was a quiet, lovely day, filled with cake and lots of time outside.

Fun day for photos

It was a beautiful day outside, and we had fun taking some impromptu photos. I tried to get the dog to join in, but he was content to sit under a tree.

I caved...

Yes despite my better judgment I finally gave in and got a Pinterest account. I held out for a long time, but after searching for something and having all the results come up as Pinterest pins I joined the club. And yes, although I don't spend much time on it, I do now understand some of the obsession. So for those of you who are members of the site, I have now joined you. For those of you who think it is a silly craze like I used to, I now give you permission to mock me.

Mothers day weekend in Florida

This is my first time blogging and posting pictures from my phone, so please forgive any formatting issues.

In May we spent a week in Merit Island Florida, which is Near Coco Beach. It was the first time for all of us visiting the Florida beach, and Henson's first time at the ocean.

In fact this trip was full of firsts for all of us. Some of them included

-Henson's first flight (and he was a trouper, even sleeping despite his usual no sleep in public policy)

- Henry and I went jet skiing for the first time. Since we were staying with my parents try watched Henson while we tried it out. We took turns driving, and it was a lot more fun than I anticipated.

- Henson's first time at the beach. He loved it! At first he didn't know if he liked it and had to figure it out, but by the end he was grabbing our hards and walking toward the water. He also unfortunately liked eating sand.

- My first time seeing a live crocodile. We had lunch our last day at a little place on the water, and from the deck you could see crocodiles in the water. They were pretty far away, but still fun to watch.

- My first massage. Henry and I took advantage of the non-DC prices and we each got a massage. It was very relaxing.

All in all it was a fun and relaxing trip.
