A day at the park!

Don't ask, sometimes a girl has got to add a little excitement to her day at the park...

The Big 30

Some of the girls took me out for a awesome night on the town!!! We went to Mosun and ate sushi, then went upstairs to the club to dance til the wee hours of the morn (ok, til 11:45). It was a blast. Then we went to the Hyatt Newport and spent the night in The Parlor, the best room they've got....without beds....yes, we got downgraded, and it was awesome! Thanks girls, i loved every second of it!

Roadtrip up the coast!

So we took our first family vacation, a roadtrip from the OC to San Fransisco! It was a blast! We loaded practically our entire lives into the huge Sambazon van and headed north on PCH. The first day we drove all day up to Morro Bay and stayed at the most amazing hotel, we had our own private jacuzzi!
The next day we continued driving north and made it to Half Moon Bay. The drive was beautiful! The waves were huge, and I loved how we were on such huge cliffs.
So we kept on going on the third day up to San Fransisco. What a great time. We all loved the city. My parents came and picked me and Jonah up while Ryan stayed in the city to work. Ryan met us back at my parents' house on Thursday night and on Friday we all went snowboarding, our favorite. We also took Jonah sledding on a trash can lid, awesome! Saturday we went mountain biking around the lake and drove back home on Sunday. What a great trip.

Snowboarding!

One of our favorite things to do is snowboard. We were able to go to Utah, Mammoth, and Tahoe this year. Here are some of our favorite pictures!

Backpacking Trip!

Ok, so we definately took a backpacking trip in the Sierras. I know, most of you know that I never liked hiking when my parents used to make me go, like, every weekend. But this trip was really cool. We went with our good friends the Bodies' and we were gone for 4 days, i think.
The first day we hiked back in to Emerald Lake. It was beautiful! We set up camp there. Our plan was to hike out the next day up to Pear & Moose Lake, but Ryan got elevation sickness and was barfing all night, so we decided to keep camp at Emerald Lake. It rained on us one night, which I am a big fan of. I love hearing the rain coming down on our tent at night. We played alot of cards, went fishing and swimming in the lake, hiked up to Moose Lake one day. It was amazing. So quiet and peaceful.

Jonah Liv Haack was born on August 10th, 2006. We delivered him at Hoag Hospital, which was amazing since we had an ocean view from our private room! And pair that up with the epideral, everything was smooth sailing! Woo hoo!

Honeymoon!

Costa Rica was awesome! Although I had a bit of an adjustment period to the whole, "married" concept, we had so much fun! We went to the beach every day, drove up to the live volcano, swam in the hot springs, rode ATV's, and searched for monkeys.

Here is one of the resorts where we stayed. It was amazing!
