July pictures

Took some family pics for Summer/4th of July. Trevor was not pleased about having pose for them and we were lucky to even get the shots that we did!

Trip to L.A.

Mike and I decided to make celebrating our 5-year anniversary a family affair by playing tourists in L.A.. Here's some pics of our excursion to the zoo, Travel Town and the Santa Monica pier.

New Pics

Here are some recent pictures of the boys.

Oh yeah, we have a blog ;P

I haven't updated this blog in months. I'll just re-cap the major events.

We had plenty of yummy Thanksgiving dinner at both families houses.





Trevor's first Halloween was fun, he dressed up as Mickey Mouse. We went to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat and the Fountain Valley 3rd ward's both on the night before Halloween. Trevor and Brock watched the bigger kids by Grandma & Grandpa Parks house on Halloween and played together in their costumes.

Baby's First Road Trip

We had the chance to take a family vacation to Utah and Vegas in August. We all had a great time and the weather wasn't even that bad as Mike had feared.


We stopped for the night in St. George on the way up to Salt Lake City, Trevor enjoyed swimming with his cousins at the hotel pool.




Then we made our way to SLC, I was amazed at what a good traveler he was on such a long drive. We saw Temple Square and went to my great-uncle Vic's surprise 85th birthday party, which was fun to see some relatives. We enjoyed swimming, or rather, floating in the Great Salt Lake.





On the way back home we stayed a couple nights in Las Vegas and had some more relaxation time by the pool and stopping by our friends Roni and Michael's house where Trevor got to visit his friend, Jonah.

A Fair Day

We got a chance to have an evening at the Orange County Fair this summer. We enjoyed riding the ferris wheel, seeing all the plants and animals, and Mike even entered a pie eating contest. He was proud of himself for coming in "second" place (along with the seven others who didn't win).

The Big 3-0

I (Tara) turned thirty in July. Despite the dismay of having to leave my youthful 20s, I had a very nice birthday. Trevor and I got into Disney's California Adventures for free. We only spent a couple of hours there since that's all he (and I) could tolerate but we definately got our money's worth ;P. Trevor got to go on three rides, including the merry-go-round, and he had a total blast. That evening Mike took me to dinner at the Orange County Mining Company for a tasty halibut dinner with a view.

Fun with cousins

Good times were had by all at the celebration of Trevor's cousin Brock's first birthday.
