Trip to San Diego

Last weekend we went to San Diego to support Derek's sister Corinne and her two girls Caylee and Coral. This is the reason we went: To welcome home Kyle from his 6 month deployment on the USS Abraham Lincoln (aircraft carrier). It was a short trip, but totally worth it. See the ship come in at Coronado was soooo cool. Here's the ship. It is three football fields long.

Here's Kyle "manning the rails" as they call it. He's in this picture, but I can't remember which one. Derek's Dad Lyle caught up with the ship in Hawaii and is also in this picture somewhere.

The whole process took about 4 hours, but we didn't mind waiting. Raegan even enjoyed herself, but was very tired by the time we left.

After we picked up Kyle we made a little stop on Coronado to eat and so Aunt Ali could touch the ocean.

Before we left were also able to celebrate Grandma Lori's birthday. Here she is with all her grandkids!

Baby Bump

I have had several requests to see the baby bump. Well, here it is in all its glory at 23 weeks. I did't take many pictures with Raegan (and my memory isn't so good) so I really can't compare it to last time. Next time I'll have Derek take the picture.

Raegan's newest obsession is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She's always loved Minnie, but in the last week she has decided she can sit still long enough to actually watch an entire show. She now watches too much TV, but I do find myself able to get things done for once.

For Christmas I got Derek a deep fryer. Well, yesterday we finally used it for the very first time and we made Chimichangas. They tasted just as good as they look. Almost like La Fiesta.
