About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

Sandy Dego: Day 3

Today we headed to downtown San Diego to try out a Brazilian Restaurant ....however it was rather lackluster and we left pretty disappointed. It was scary, the decor was outdated, the food was disgusting and it was expensive. Guess you can't always trust Yelp.

Here's Justin trying to hide his sadness...



We then made the trek to the Scripps Aquarium to check out the action.....


 





 It was right by the ocean so it had a pretty amazing view


Sitting by the fish pond



Playing with the toy eels

Statues outside the museum (on our way to the car just before a massive meltdown that resulted in Ellie slapping Justin and many parents pointing at Ellie while telling their children "See that's what you look like when you throw a fit" --- not a proud moment in parenting).


We then headed out to the San Diego Temple which happened to be just by the Aquarium...



Ellie and dada



 It was absolutely gorgeous here

Love this crazy girl :)





Cheese!




These next few pics Ellie took on her own with my camera.....






.....I think she did a really great job!! Maybe we will start hirin her out!?!

We took a short break at the hotel and then headed out this cute little shopping area called SeaPort Village, which became a nightly stop!


It had cute little shops, entertainment, food and a carousel!










We grabbed some cupcakes (because I cannot resist a cupcake) ---


And then looked in the "telescope"

We headed back to the room to get some sleep and rev up for the next day!
