The Spruces
The boys & I did a little camping up at The Spruces in Big Cottonwood Canyon this weekend. Mo passed on all the fun and excitement because pregnancy & mummy bags just don’t mix well. That, and it was a boys trip, Henry summed it up best when he stated “you have to have balls …

Beach Day
We hit the Beach today in Carlsbad. Of course it is June, which means June gloom in the San Diego area. But, despite being overcast, it was a beautiful day.

Moab in October
We had an awesome time in Moab a couple weeks ago with Jonny, Noemi & kids. We hit Dead Horse Point on our way down. It was Mo & the boys first time to the point. Instead of heading all the way back to Highway 191 we drove down Long Canyon and Pucker Pass to …
