More Carter Pictures.......

We have had a welcome break in our hot weather....it has only been in the 90's for the past several days and it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while.....yay! We have been kind of lazy around here, but we always take pictures!

Carter and Grandpa getting a little nap! (this was from Tuesday)

A fun piggy back ride!

Thinking.........

And there's the smile!

Summer is here!

It's June now so you know what that means......summer and hot! The official temperature yesterday (Wednesday) was 107 degrees (although it was only 104 in Chandler). No matter, it was a day to stay in and enjoy the a/c! Carter spent the day with Grandpa and Grandma so we had to take some pics!

Yummy cereal!!!!


It really is pretty good!


I love bath time!

Me and my Grandpa in our favorite chair!

Waffles last night

Allison and I invited Dad and Mom over for waffles last night after church. Our waffle maker has really gotten a workout since the wedding!

San Francisco YouTube video clips

Below are some video clips from our San Francisco trip (more available on YouTube):

Aquarium of the Bay (petting stingrays and sharks)

Lombard Street ("crookedest street in the world")

San Francisco Botanical Garden (a friendly squirrel...they were ALL friendly)

Ocean Beach on the west side of San Francisco (and yes, it's as cold as it looks)

Traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge

Turning around the cable car at the end of each line (it's done manually)

Some San Francisco pictures

Allison and I had a great time in San Francisco this past Saturday through Wednesday! Temperatures ranged from the mid-50's to mid 60's, and although we would have liked a little more sun the first couple days, I suppose we can't complain...

I've attached a sampling of pictures from various locations around the city:

Our walking shoes...they got a workout!
