Look who turned ONE!!

That's right....Sophie Lorraine is officially ONE! She's had several celebrations. Those blog post are yet to come. We just love our little Sophie Sue, ophie (as Abbi would say), or Sophapia. She is a delight to our home and family. We hope you had a happy birthday little one. We love you to the moon and back!

4th and final day

On the last day we went to the Oakland temple to walk around the grounds. We didn't get our camera out so I stole this from Lynzie's blog. It's the entire crew except Ty. We had such a great time and made some great memories. Thanks mom and dad for making it happen. We loved every minute of it!

Day 3 continued...

After the Muir Woods we headed to Sausalito for lunch. It was just a quaint little town by the water. It seems like anything by water is nice. Here's the family eating their lunch on the rocks. If your wondering what everyone is looking at.....Travis would throw bread to the seagulls right by your feet just so they would come up and get it. Oh it was making me so mad. He's watching and looking for his next victim!
Enjoying ice cream while we shopped and walked.
What would we do without Travis? Seriously...he fell in love with this hat when he saw it.
Lynzie was such a sport walking around 32 weeks pregnant. She even had the flu the first day we were there, but not a single complaint! Not sure if people in the bay area have ever seen a pregnant girl. She got so many looks and WOW's! Isn't she just cute pregnant! Not sure what Travis has going on?

Golden Gate. It was seriously so cold outside. I was wishing I had my Uggs and winter coat.





Day 3 "Muir Woods"

On the third day we drove out to the Muir Woods....redwood forests. These aren't even the biggest redwoods and they were huge. I can't imagine the ones in Northern Cali. Ryan served his mission up north and said they were huge. There was one that they drove their suburban through. My dad and I
Part of the Roberts clan on our little hike through the redwoods.

I always thought Ryan had huge long arms until he tried stretching them around this tree.

Chuck demonstrating his num- chuck skills!

We could live as Shrek and Fiona in this tree!





Day 2 a Walking we must go!

After Alcatraz we hit Pier 39 for some clam chowder and to check things out. Ryan sporting Forests shoes. For as big as the feet are Ryan's foot filled them! After Pier 39 we headed to Giradilli Square and then TRIED to catch a trolley to get to Lumbar street (the crookedest street). We ended up splitting up the group to get there. The trolly's were just to full to put all 12 of us on. Here's my pop's and I at Lombard street.
This was back Fisherman's Wharf. The last time we went Peggy and I got some way cute purses in the "back" room of this store. Peggy saw the SALE sign and she was off! To bad we couldn't find a cute knock off purse this time.

At the top of Lombard street we ended up running into Lynzie and Travis. Here we are waiting AGAIN for a trolley. Never caught one, but we grabbed a taxi. It was the best six dollars we spent the entire trip!


Poor Joe broke in his new Shape Ups this trip. I can't imagine how he felt. My feet were killing with shoes that were already broke in. Apparently Shape Ups are like walking in sand. I tried going for a run in sand once and made it about 5 mins. Can't imagine how Joe was feeling. He still has a smile on his face right here, but by the end of our 10 hour day he wasn't smiling!







Day 2 a Walking we must go!

Day 2 we started out early with a trip to Alcatraz. We walked and we walked and we walked. Here are pictures most of the troop on the ride over to Alcatraz and walking around. It was my third time being there so it wasn't as exciting for me to see it, but I think it's a must see if you've never been there. The Roberts were once again so nice to invite my dad to come along. They always make him feel like family and I appreciate it so much.
The ride over to Alcatraz. It's crazy how these prisoners lived. It would be fun to live on a little island, just not as a prisoner!


A "WICKED" Christmas in July

For Christmas this last year Ryan's parents gave us a trip to San Francisco. We cashed in on the deal in July. It still felt like Christmas with the temperature being only 65 degrees with a breeze. We are so use to the 100's it seriously felt like Christmas! This is the first day there. Ryan and I on the subway to see Wicked. This was my most favorite part of the trip. I've seen it before, but would see it again and again. I love this man. So glad we got to spend time away together just the two of us.....oh and all the other Roberts couples!
Walking around waiting for WICKED!

And finally we were there! What a great night it was. If you haven't seen it I highly suggest it!
