Celebrating Ethan

Greg has been in CA for training this week, so I've been a little busy, to say the least. He gets home tomorrow night and I can't wait. I miss my husband!
I haven't posted about my weekend getaway last Saturday and Sunday. I also went to So Cal, but mine was for a much more fun reason. Kevin blessed his little Ethan on Sunday!
I took an 8 am flight on Saturday and got into Long Beach for my weekend of fun. I flew with Kristopher and Jeremy and we headed straight to Kev's house to see our little nephew. Man, is he cute! And such a good baby. He rarely cries and almost always has this gorgeous smile on his face.

Shawn looked fabulous, as I knew she would. That woman is amazing. She has more talent in her pinkie than I do in my entire being. She has created the cutest surfer room for Ethan, sewing all of it herself. We spent the afternoon at Redondo Beach, with a quick stop at the Trump National Golf Course for some pictures. While we were at the beach I got some much needed sun and loved being near the water. I love the ocean. Nothing soothes me or makes me more reflective than the sound of the waves crashing. That night we had dinner at the 22nd Street Landing Grill. The food was wonderful and we had a great time eating on the pier.

Sunday morning we all headed over to the church for the blessing. Their ward meets in a very old and beautiful building. I wish I had taken a photo of it, there is nothing even close to it here in Utah. Kevin gave Ethan a wonderful blessing and we were all wiping our eyes when he was done. After church we had a fabulous lunch and celebrated the special day. I headed home that night. It was so fun to be together, even for that short while. It was a perfect trip.
