Summer Vacation 2013

We were all over the place for this trip. We were gone for over two weeks, stayed in five different places, and I packed TEN, yes ten, different times because we were hopping between houses. A few highlights:
Hiking in Palm Springs

Pool time

Beach trips

He loved playing in the sand.

Watching Austin skydive

Paddleboarding

Austin's mission farewell

And time at the cabin

During this trip, we were thrilled to get a job offer on, you guessed it, June 28th. We'll be moving in about two weeks and we're so excited that Josh will have the opportunity to practice criminal law. He's doing exactly what he wanted to do when he started law school, which is pretty cool.

Spring Break

Spring break included lots of time with friends and family, including Grandma and Grandpa McDermott,

a trip to Temple Square,

naps with dad,

and, of course, lots of time in the car.

We kind of threw a lot at this little guy.  Like most babies, traveling throws him off a little,  plus he had his shots two days before we left, and we think he's teething. He was a trooper but it was a little challenging. But, on our drive home we heard Noah's first real laugh! While we were on the road he woke up screaming, so we got off at the nearest exit so that we could calm him down.  After probably ten minutes of crying, I started massaging his belly and he stopped crying and laughed! Um....what?! Oh how quickly this little boy's moods change. We grabbed the camera and got this video.

We had a lot of fun spending time with our family and friends and left feeling really grateful for the incredible people in our lives.
