Don't you love the beach?

Where I live is a beautiful place. It is mostly always warm, sunny, and well beautiful. We are also lucky enough to live near some pretty cool beaches that aren't too far away. Yesterday was my brothers 19th birthday (Happy Birthday Aaron!) So in the evening we met up with Ryan, Molly, & Brianne at the beach to celebrate. It was a little cold (I said it was mostly warm!) but we had a fun time.

This picture screams beach to me.
Isn't this view great?!
Cutest baby in a hat ever..... to bad she's not your niece!
Oh my, beautiful.


Evan brought his kit along... it was awesome!

One of my favorite pictures. Ryan & Evan laughing about something, WITH the beach in the background.

AND my favorite part of the beach! The seagulls! Nope, just kidding. But I do like chasing them! :)

Cute baby feet
And a cute smile!

I love this picture I got!! I got it right as the kite flew by me.
A while before we left it started looking stormy but I liked it because I knew I could get some cool pictures.

And my family loves to play Frisbee. Especially at the beach.
This is my dad getting ready to throw.

So now my friends you have seen my pictures from the beach. But now I have something to ask of you. I would love some comments. I mean really, I have 20 followers and many others who I know read my blog. So feel free to leave me a comment, I love getting them!
Ideas: tell me your favorite picture, how great my pictures are :), your favorite thing to do at the beach, or how much you love the beach! Have a great weekend!

Mothers day pictures

It feels SO good to be blogging! Really it does. I have a lot to blog about but I'll do it.

On Mothers day after church & before dinner we went over to the cemetery . All 15 of us. :) We put in roses and then Jenny brought a rose for each of us to put in with the other roses. It was such a nice time so spend with each other. Here are some pictures I took. I was very happy with the pictures I took!











Cammi was so cute and asked me to take some separate pictures of just her.



After we were done I took a rose and walked over to another part of the cemetery where our friend's grave it. She was only 5 or 6 when she passed away. I knew her if her mom & family had been there they would have brought some flowers, but she they weren't I decided I would and left a rose.
I hope you all had a wonderful mothers day with your family's.

I love the beach... Don't you?

Last week I kept saying, "We should go to the beach!". So on Friday after our rehearsals we headed over as a family first to the glider port in Torry pines. Here are some pictures from there.

When I see something REALLY interesting it catches my eye and I just have to take a picture! That's what I did with the pics below!

UM, Does this look relaxing OR what? Too bad it was off limits to spectators!

The beautiful ocean

Oooh I love this picture! Thanks to editing I love it more!

We decided to take a little hike and we saw some really pretty views.

Evan walking down the trail

Mmmm, this says spring to me

So then we drove over to La jolla. We parked right next to this motorcycle with a SPARKLY helmet! It was so awesome I had to take a picture. Don't see this every day!

The La jolla cove cave

I was in LOVE with these flowers and the fence. So I hope you find beauty in these pictures too!

Me!

Then we went to BJ's for dinner (I love their pizza) and then found out Sprinkles (The cupcake place I have been wanting to go to) was down the street from BJ's! So we waited in the 25 min line and got our cupcakes!!

It was a fun afternoon and I really need to go to the beach more often!
