It's Been Awhile

Wow, I have not blogged in FOREVER!! I guess I haven't felt the "need" to blog about what's been going on in life. Summer is over, and fall will be over before we know it. We took our trip to California and had a blast! Here are some photos from our trip.

On our way to Cali! Plus, Jamie.

Ventura Beach, CA.

Isn't me nephew Jack adorable? Only 3 1/2 months in this picture. But wears 6 months clothes. That's how the McKinney's roll.

We had some fun at the beach with our sweet niece Molly.

Cj and I biked across the golden gate bridge. This was probably the highlight of our trip. Even though I was grumpy while riding the bike.. I don't know why, but I wore a maxi skirt that day. Everyone was making fun of me for getting on a bike. I was riding up this huge hill and my bike chain came off, and I was ready to give up. Thanks to Cj who made me stick with. We had a lot of fun.

We biked across the bridge to Sausalito. I had these AMAZING chicken tacos. Totally worth the bike ride.

Jen and I at ShabuShabu! Another great night! ;)

 Cj made a little friend at Dolores Park, her name was baby.

Andrew making some blueberry pancakes!

Little baby Caleb let Cj read to him. It melted my heart! So sweet!

You have got to play some pool ball while visiting!

Our little Laney has been growing like a weed! I cannot believe how fast little ones grow.

I am so happy to have her in my life. Every time she smiles and look at me, it makes my heart so happy. Looks like I better get on having one, if they bring that much joy! ;) Most of the time.

Summer is Coming to an End.

Besides being busy with having new little niece. Cj and I have still been doing our thing. Going to RSL games, went to the Spanish Fork fair, hiking and biking. We went up to Deer Creek one Sunday and hung out at the little sandy beach. Trying to soak up summer before it's over. 

We will be heading out of our yearly road trip to California in a couple weeks. We can't wait to see all of our family! We definitely are in need of a little get away from Utah. We leave September 6th and we are counting down the days. Literally- I made a little chain countdown!

I fell in love with this sweet little bunny at the fair. I want a bunny!

 Deer Creek

I took Olive to a park one day to sit and read. This was her face the whole time. I guess she wasn't amused. She is so hard to please.

We love going to the farmer's market in Provo. They have some neat stuff. 

 Sunset bike rides

Cj balling with his friends.

Have I told you I ran a 5k?! My first race ever. Melissa and I ran from the Provo temple to the new Provo temple. The whole time she pushed me. I would start slowing down and she would be like "Don't slow down! You can do it!" She totally motivated me. I probably wouldn't have ran it unless I was with her. It was a lot of fun!

This is me bright and early ready to run! Haha

Before the race. Sam and Eli were on their scooters with us. Yeah, they totally beat us to the finish line.

After the race! We did it. I love Mel!

My mom and dad surprised me with being at the finish line! As I was running to the finish line I heard someone scream my name. I looked over and it was my mom cheering me on. What great parents I have.

Cj and Miss. Snooty.

We live in a beautiful place.

Family Photo's 2013

We got more of our photo's back that we had taken professionally. They turned out amazing! There are some of Olive that are really ridiculous. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

Isn't it weird how long Olive's tongue is??
