We're back in the U.S.A.

Lyla's creativity


We tried out their public transportation. It was a short bus painted white. :)


All of us at the arch

The pacific side of lover's beach.


Sammy Hagar played here during our trip. But we were all too tired to go. 

All of us at Cabo Wabo

There were so many boats!

Its called lover's beach. we had to.  :)

We got to play with a baby tiger, and it was trying to bite Jake.

Thanksgiving in California

This thanksgiving was the Haglund year. We got the entire family to drive/fly out to Upland, CA to be with Grandma Frazier.  We had quite the party!  Complete with pumpkin pie, juggling, christmas gift name drawing, trip to the Chino Auction/farmers market, and Jake running a 5k turkey trot on thanksgiving morning.   I'm lucky to have such great in-laws!

Re-Post: East Coast Trip!

Correction on the stars.. There are 4,048 stars. not 400.

This trip seems like it was forever ago. But, I didn't post any pictures. So here's a taste of what we saw on our trip, which just happened to be a couple days before the earthquake that cracked the Washington Monument. 


Washington Monument.
I wish we could have gone up to the top before the earthquake cracked it!

Flags around the Washington Monument

Die-hard tourists.  It poured the whole day!

This is the WWII memorial.

WWII Memorial Quote.

My horrible attempt at a panorama.  I think you get the idea though.  :)

WWII Memorial.
This was amazing. I thought there were a ton of stars to start with, But then I saw the plaque to the left (picture below) that says each star is one-hundred american lives lost or missing. There are 4,048 stars on this wall.


WWII Memeorial

We got to this memorial right as the sun was setting and the rain let up a little.  It was perfect conditions for pictures. I'm so glad we got to see this.  Again, the picture does not do the size of this justice. It is huge.

Such reflective stone. (they did that on purpose)  I love that all the monuments are so planned. Almost everything about them is done on purpose for some other deeper meaning.  so cool.

The White House in the pouring rain!

This is at the national archives.  I made jake stand infront of the door to get a refrence for how friggin huge this thing is!

Everything was so detailed and beautiful here.

Me and My Jake at the Capitol Building. 
I want to know who mowes the lawns and how long does that take???!

Places I'm set on going someday.

1. Auschwitz - I know, depressing right? I've always been very interested by the events that took place in that part of the world. I've done multiple research papers through out my education on the topic of the Holocaust. I've seen all the pictures others have taken and read first hand accounts of the terrible things that happened. but for some reason, I want to go experience it. I want to take my own pictures of it.
2. Greece - In high school I had the option of taking a Mythology class instead of the English course that was usually required. I jumped at that opportunity.  Little did I know, Mythology is practically one of the most interesting (and entertaining) topics ever. Of course it helped that I had the most amazing teacher ever to instruct on this topic. Class was more like one of those books that you can't put down. Anyone who knows me and had her class will tell you, she is an amazing person. So, long story short, she instilled a deep interest in greek mythology in me that I can't get rid of. I want to go see where some of this "took place" and where some actually did take place.
3. Machu Picchu - umm.. have you seen  pictures of this place?! Incredible. Thats really all I have to say about it. :)
4. Egypt - the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx. I guess stuff like this just amazes me. The world creates bigger better things all the time, but they didn't have the technology back then.  I want to see this first hand.

This list could honestly go on for a long time. But that's enough for now.

Christmas in Vegas

Not sure why he likes to stick his finger in brooks mouth.....

The slide aka air matress, from the top bunk right into the door to the bedroom.

The Christmas caroling outfits made from wrapping paper.

The Howie tradition of giving all the girls holiday socks. :) I love it!
