February vacation

Colby and I have been doing a little vacationing the last 2 weeks and we've had so much fun! It started with Colby and me going to LA a couple Fridays ago to see my siblings and my parents (Andrew was originally going to come with me, but had to work that Saturday so I made the journey with Colby alone).  We spent Saturday at the beach,

He couldn't get enough of the water

He was pretty sad that the birds kept flying away 

and Sunday we went to church and headed home as soon as we could to see Andrew.  My parents came with me to Bakersfield and spent a couple days here helping me with things around the house.... but mostly setting up Colby's swingset (which he has yet to use, but I'm sure he'll love it).  Wednesday last week we headed down to Arizona to my parents house where Colby and I spent the last week and a half.  Andrew had prepared me and told me he was going to be super busy, so I took this time to get out of the house and spend some time with my family in AZ.  While I was out having fun, Andrew was working 22+ hour days (poor guy is so tired. As a matter of fact he picked us up from the airport, which was a saturday, and dropped us off just to head back to work).  We went hiking almost every day, some days Colby hated it, and other days he didn't seem to mind - maybe he figured out that after the hike, he was able to play at the park for a while.

Jason, Francisca, Lea, Kami, Dan, and Brittany were all there for a couple days and we had some great time together

We had some fun family get togethers and Colby was able to meet his great-grandparents on papa's side,

 we took Colby to the mall so he could see dogs at the pet store and go on this merry-go-round,

 he also got his first professional haircut (which went SOOO much better than i could have ever imagined)

We had a great time in Arizona, but it sure does feel nice to be home again.
