Summer Vacation

We just got back from a month long vacation to Utah, San Diego, and Arizona. It was a great break from the summer heat in Virginia, but it's good to be back home and sleeping in my own bed and not living out of suit cases. We did a lot of things while we were there...I'll let the pictures tell the story!


I took my niece Sophia to the Davis County Fair and we had a great time feeding animals, riding rides and eating tons of junk food

David and his namesake (Grandpa Dave)


David met lots of his cousins
and aunts & uncles

Cousins Jakey, Hailey, and Emma (Matt's kids)

Cousin Anthony

Cousin Emma Lemma Ding Dong

Uncle Andrew

We had a pool party with Creer's, our favorite neighbors growing up.




My mom and I drove up to Idaho to see my grandparents. I was so glad Grandma & Grandpa got to meet little David!

We were in Utah for 2 1/2 weeks, then headed to San Diego for a week. It worked out perfectly because my family stayed in our time share, yet Dan's family lives there too so we got to spend a lot of time with both families. I love San Diego!


We went to Sea World and got to feed the dolphins
This is my brother Matt's family


David's first bath in the sink - I can't believe how pudgy he is getting.


"The Reeves Clan"

Dan's family had a picnic at Mission Bay and a lot of the extended family came!
Thanks to cousin Benny for taking some great pictures.

Grandma Marilyn (Dan's mom) and cousinsDan's mom & siblings

I may be biased, but I think I have the cutest baby on the planet

After San Diego we headed to HOT as HELL Arizona to see Dan's grandma and his aunts & uncles. We spent everyday in his grandma's pool and watching family movies from years past.


David and me in the pool. He fell asleep IN THE POOL two seconds after this photo was taken. I think he's the only baby that falls asleep in a pool....such a slug!

We had a great time and am so glad I got to see so many people! I love going home, but like I said, it's nice to be back. The best part about our trip was that David started sleeping through the night! I've never been so happy in my life!

Wow, that is a marathon trip, especially with a baby. good for you. And when did he get so fat? I need to see this chunk since mine are all getting too big.

Sleeping through the night, and chubbing right up -- woohoo! He is SOO cute, Ryan and I were both going, "Aww!" to his funny little pictures. He is so cute.

PS - seriously, that is a marathon trip -- a whole month away from home? Nice to visit family, even nicer to be back under your own roof!

Wow - I can't imagine leaving home for that long with a little guy! Good for you for doing it! I'm sure the moments he got to spend with all that family will be priceless to those who got to cuddle and love on him!

Thank you for posting all the pics - he is an absolute angel baby and I want to squish him! Hopefully I can come out soon and give both of you big ol' hugs!

You're looking pretty snappy yourself, too! :D

Wow, I had no idea you did so much before coming to AZ. Thanks to you and Dan for making the big trip out to see Gma J and the rest of us. It was so great to be together.
