We were trying to grow out Brody's hair to be shaggy for the summer... then, Bobby decided he liked Brody's faux-hawk better. I like both! I loved his little curls in the back, but that was the only place his curls would go. I thought his whole head would have little curls all over, but they never came! So, we got out the clippers one night and brought back the hawk! We love it. He's so darn cute with it!
We just got home from California yesterday. We went out to San Jose, Monterey, Carmel, The Santa Cruz Boardwalk, etc... (Bay Area) Bobby served his mission there, and his mom had a BYU conference out at Asilomar. We tagged along and got to visit his mission. I had never been out there, and it had been 5 years since Bobby had been back. Everyone kept saying... "When you were on your mission, did you think that in 5 years you would be back with your WIFE and SON?!" It's crazy how fast time flies. Speaking of flying, we flew out on Friday- Brody's first birthday! I had one couple say, "If he comes out here for his FIRST birthday, you're going to have to top that next year!" We had a blast! We mainly did sight seeing of Bobby's old stompin' grounds! It was BEAUTIFUL! I imagined it would be like LA with lots of Beaches! Palm Trees! Whatever! But, it was more of a green, hilly, area. There were farms and lots of different trees. Very pretty! I'm glad I was able to go out there... BTW- there were beaches! I loved seeing the ocean everyday! I miss it. We went to Bobby's old Spanish Speaking Branch, which was very fun! There were a lot of members who remembered him and were happy to see him again. I am so proud of him. It was so amazing to feel the spirit in that little branch sacrament meeting, where I couldn't even understand a word! I love that no matter where we go, or what language it's in, the spirit still feels the same. A member of the Branch Presidency was conducting and at the beginning of Sacrament meeting he stood up and, in Spanish, welcomed "Brother McGuire" and his family. He said that he had missed him and they loved him. I couldn't help but get tears in my eyes. I love my hubby! What an amazing experience. We also went down 17 mile drive, which was awesome! I found my dream home, and we took lots of pictures. We went to the Monterey Bay aquarium (We stayed in Monterey) and while Bobby and his dad were golfing at PEBBLE BEACH, Diana, my mother-in-law, and I went shopping in Carmel. It went too quickly, but it was a fun trip! We're happy to be home and Brody is happy to be in his BED AGAIN!!

INTRODUCING: Brody's NEW "silly face"... He started doing this one day and we all laughed, now that he knows he's funny, he'll do it to get a reaction out of people! I love him!!

Mom and Brody on his FIRST Merry-Go-Round! (At the Santa Cruz Boardwalk!) He loved it, but it made him very relaxed and tired by the time it was over!

What a FUN post! That is so special that you got to go back and exerience where Bobby went on his mission with him. I'm so jealous. Seth went to Brazil and i reeeeally want to go back there someday. They JUST announced there's going to be a temple built in the exact area he served and so we weill be going back there for the dedication. I can't wait to experience a little bit of the world he lived in and loved for two years.
Those pictures of you guys with the ocean behind you are priceless! You two make an absolute beautiful couple. Your little Brody is quite the character! I love his "silly face". LOL. He is growing up so much, and you can see so much of his dynamic personality in your pictures. You have such a cute family!
