Richie comes to town


Scott's best friend from college, Richie, came to visit last weekend. It was a lot of fun to see him and show him around Albuquerque. We are trying to get him to move here... we'll see!

Neighbors


We love our neighbors! This is Makenna with her little buddy Benjamin. He is the cutest little guy! They love playing together outside.

Visitors

We were so excited to have the Johansons (Scott's sister) come visit! I have been wanting to get these girls together for a long time but we haven't been able to see them for 2 years since they live in Georgia. The girls had so much fun together just as I predicted! It was so cute to see them play. We wish you guys lived closer!
Anyone that knows Scott well knows he loves to discuss (ok argue) controversial topics. A family get together with the Lee side just wouldn't be complete without a good argument! Oh and their son is the first to make Jace not look so huge! Spencer was born 2 months before. Aunt Erika doing Makenna's hair- she loved that
Fun with cousins in our still pretty ugly backyard

4th of July

We spent the 4th at my Grandma Pike's house (my dad's mom). It was so good to see her and Grandpa Bob. They are two very special people and I always enjoy being in their company. A lot of my cousins were there too so it was fun to catch up. My grandparents live in a house that overlooks the Rose Bowl stadium so we had a sweet view of the fireworks that go off from there. It's something we always did when I was a kid so it was fun to do it again now that I'm older and share it with my family.

Balboa Park






We hit up Balboa Park one day to go to a couple museums and just walk around. The pictures are from the Natural History Museum. It was beautiful weather (of course it's San Diego...)

The BEACH

Of course we went to the beach whenever we could. It was so fun! My highlight was probably when Scott and I got to go out in the ocean by ourselves and ride the waves together. Makenna of course LOVED the beach as you can see by the pictures! I miss it already!

San Diego County Fair


We went to the San Diego County Fair one day which was so fun! We saw pig races, Motocross and monster trucks (HOLY COW SO LOUD!!), lots of animals, Makenna rode a pony, and that night Scott and I came back for a Little Big Town concert. It was so good! I'm definitely a fan. Sorry no pics...

Family Pictures

Grandma Holland's House





We loved being at grandma Holland's house. She has such a beautiful yard and it's so fun for kids because it's on a slope, so Makenna loved rolling down the hills! I'm so bummed I forgot to take a picture with grandma and grandpa...

Children's Museum





We met up with my cousin Jen and her kids Cambria and Kate at the Children's museum in Salt Lake. It was so fun to see them and Makenna and Cambria had a blast together! Makenna loved all the fun pretend things you could do there like grocery shopping and playing in the kid-sized house. It was a lot of fun!
