Wow, What a whirlwind of a vacation:We left June 28th and went to see Les Miserables at Tuachan. It was great, so enjoyable! Surprisingly not ridiculously hot either. On Sunday, Nate and his Dad and brothers did a musical number in my parent's ward. I love four part harmony. That night, Nate and I went our seperate ways. This is me on the phone with him when we got to Provo, I was truly sad.Monday, we did some shopping and it was amazing how good the kids were. Aria and Liam were so good together, AND we found EVERYTHING we were looking for. That never happens. On Tuesday we went to a matinee of WALL-E. Fun Movie! Not my favorite of the Disney-Pixar ones but definitely creative. There was no dialog! Liam still loves it.
On Wednesday we went to this Indian restaurant that had just opened on University Avenue in Provo. I would recommend it purely for the service and this drink! Truly an amazing drink!!!! My Nephew Liam was having a heart attack, climbing the walls and whining/screaming all at the same time. That's probably an exaggeration but you get the picture. Then the waiter brought over this drink. He called it a Mango drink. This is Post Mango Drink! Holy-Cow!!! I could not believe the change. From that response we all ordered one... It didn't do the same thing for Aria, but I sure felt better.
Aria and Cousin Liam took their first bath together. They could probably be Brother-Sister. They make a lot of the same faces. Similar skin tone, eyes and hair also helps. So adorable!
Grandma Story-Time: I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that the future dentist's daughter was more interested in brushing her teeth than in the book.
On Thursday Night we went and had a barbecue at the park. We had a lot of fun on the playground. It was nice to get to see Noelle - ben's friend again. I think Aria was beginning to feel like she had a second Mommy. Tabi is so good with this age.Aria's world is rose colored when she's wearing those glasses.
I was so glad to have Nate back!!! I missed him incredibly. It's true when they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.... really fonder!!!!
Aria's 1st cousin once removed Brynlin just adored Aria. Wanted to hold her hand and play with her. Here she is making sure she doesn't get run over by a car.
Happy 4th!
This picture was just so fun, I couldn't help but show it off.
Aria inherited her habit of phone talking from her Grandma Radmall. She never leaves home without it.
On the 5th we went to the beach in San Diego! It was overcast and not too hot! I never realized how much I really love the beach! Aria loved the beach and once again she proved to her have fearlessness. I think she thought it was some big kiddie pool. No depth.
Finally, Nate's grandparents celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary! They are still so cute together. They totally love each other. I want to be like that when I've been married for 58 years. I'm so glad I've gotten to know them. They both LOVE Aria! and Aria loved the balloons!

This is Amy (Squires) Choules, from the good 'ole Centennial Apartment days! I found your blog and am so glad I did. You guys look great! I can't believe how big Aria is! I was actually working at the hospital in the nursery the day she was born and was so lucky to get to clean Aria up and talk to Nate about being a brand new Dad! It was an awesome experience. Well, I hope you don't mind if I keep up with your darling family on your blog. Dave (my hubby and best friend) and I have a blog at daveandamychoules.blogspot.com
Love,
Amy
Sounds like an awesome vacation. I know what you mean about being away from your hubby. I can't believe how big Liam is. I haven't seen him since Aria's baby shower. You look great. I almost bought that same swimsuit. Glad you had fun.
