{Some little things}

Life has been extra sweet lately with little man!  He is getting so interactive and he really seems to love learning about the world around him!  

One of his favorite activities is riding on his scooter - 

With the weather so nice we are trying to get outside every day to enjoy it!  This picture was on President's Day - the youth in our ward put the flags in the yards and Calvin thought it was pretty cool to see the colors! 

We also ventured out to Acacia Park for a ward play group where Calvin learned a rough lesson on spatial awareness courtesy of one of the big kids swinging... He ran right into the path of the swing and got took a nice tumble which knocked the wind out of him ... :S Poor little guy refused to leave my side the rest of the time, but hopefully he starts to recognize more of what's going on around him! 

We also enjoyed a singing/story time at the library and Cal was entranced.  He observed the other kids a lot and when they gave out scarves to sing a long with he got into it!  It's so fun to see these little things and watch him grow!

{San Diego Trip}

This past week we were afforded a nice little get away to San Diego, courtesy of the in-laws!  : ) They were renting a little beach house and we were able to utilize the accommodations & baby-sitting while we went on a romantic date!

We drove out Friday after Mike got home from work (side note, he did his PT test that morning and passed with over a 90!  He has been working hard to prepare for the test and I was proud of him - and with his score that high he doesn't have to re-test for a year!  Woo hoo!)  Needless to say he was excited to relax and coast for the weekend. 

Saturday we were able to finally go see Star Wars!  We've been watching all 6 of them so I'd be ready for this one - it was surprisingly good!  I am not a huge fan so I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, but it was a great show. 

We spent the afternoon on a nice family walk along the beach - Calvin enjoyed looking at the ocean and trying to walk in the sand 

Calvin was also pretty spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa while Mom & Dad got their date night - 

Mike and I were celebrating our 5 year proposal anniversary - he asked me to marry him at the San Diego temple on 02/18/11 - so we were pretty excited at the chance to go through and do a session in the temple to celebrate.  It was amazing and soooo beautiful! 

There you have it - a proposal picture and a "five years later."  A lot has happened in the last five years and I am so glad I have another 5 years to look forward to with the man at my side! 

It was a great little get away!  Happy Valentines Day!
