Our Quick San Diego Trip

A week ago we took a quick 5-day (plus 2 days of travel) trip to San Diego! We jam packed everything we possibly could into those 5 short days and here's how they turned out. It was Krew's debut to about everyone we know!


My very creative sister-in-law Ashley threw Krew an AWESOME baby shower! It was so much fun seeing everyone and Krew got lots of useful stuff! Thanks mom and Kristi for helping!! It was such a blast.












Visited my sweet Grandma Corky. Last time I saw grandma was before she was diagnosed with a brain tumor so needless to say it was an emotional time for me so please excuse my crying face. This picture is still very special to me. She loved seeing her great grand baby.



The three of us were a little sleep deprived the entire trip.
Time change + not in the normal routine = sleeeepy



We all had our favorite ice cream and they even had a Krew sized one.



On October 10th we blessed Krew Cameron Rondo. We decided to do Krew's baby blessing in San Diego rather than everyone coming out here to Hawaii. Plus, it was Chase Rondo's Homecoming talk! It was a great Sunday to do everything together. Cameron gave a beautiful blessing and Chase gave a great talk. I am so grateful for our little family.









We hit the annual surf competition at Ponto! Everyone said it was such a nice summer beach day but after paddle boarding with Cameron, my goosebumps never went away. Hawaii has spoiled us with its nice warm water and weather.
My little brothers Cameron, Curtis, and Chase did an excellent job! And congrats to Lance and my Dad for placing!


Little Krew got passed around like a hot potatoe!
From Great Nana...



To cousins...



Even little cousin Avery held Krew...



We had a great time but let me tell you, we are a little sick of just having these jam-packed vacations where everyone wants to see us. We're glad to say we're moving back in less than two months!

oh and Krew slept the entire 5 hour flights both there and back. What can I say... the kid likes to be held.

the last stretch of school

Cameron and I are in our last semester and graduation is right around the corner. Unfortunately, my adviser decided to pass my graduation application without noticing that I was 4 credits short of the graduation requirement! So I quickly added some classes and played catch-up. I'm a little bummed that my adviser did not notice it until now because I would have loved to take the extra 4 credits BEFORE I had a baby.
I am so grateful for my great friends who have been so helpful in babysitting or offering to babysit Krew while I'm in class. It has made the semester so much easier. And Cameron has been wonderful about making sure I get enough time to do homework/exercise/whatever baby-free. What an awesome hubby.
School work is a bit more difficult with a baby but not too bad considering he just enjoys being held. I just have to be careful about my time management.

Cameron, Krew, and I took a much needed vacation to go to San Diego to see family! It was so much fun that we're having a hard time getting back to real life. More to come...

Oh!I haven't figured out Halloween costumes yet and it's Oct. 13th! This is so unlike me. I need to do some serious brain storming.

Pictures

And I never realized how difficult it is to take pictures with an infant! Especially when he's tired and a bit cranky. Pictures below will explain.
