Fun in Sunny California!




v









The one thing I miss the most from living in California is the Beach! We decided at the last minute to go see my parents and the kids in California and it was a lot of fun. As you can see in most of the pictures I was trying to soak it all up. Just the sound of the waves and seeing the endless water is so relaxing. The feel of the sand in between your toes and laying out to let the Vitamin D in, nothing like it. Landen was scared of the water but loved watching Maddy hop the waves. At least this time he didn't eat the sand =0). It was a well needed short vacation from reality.

Hot Springs Camping Adventure



o


The boys like there camping. Jon being a scout leader gets to have these fun experiences with Tristen and his friends. They hiked 2 to 3 miles in to the hot springs and camped all night. Tristen in case you haven't noticed really likes being without his shirt. His in California right now, hopefully he'll get some sun. j/k Love you Tristen. Fun Times.

Lagoon Date Day!







So I've lived in Utah for 2 1/2 years and have never gone to Lagoon (for those that don't know what that is it's a small version of six flags). So I got a chance to go with my school and chaperone and see what Lagoon was all about. It wasn't too bad, no six flags but very family friendly. All I thought was Jon and I would have so much fun here. So there came the idea to have a day date with our friends Steve and Lisa. It was a lot of fun and now we want to take the kids. The last picture was one we had to take a picture of because it made no sense. Hello there's spikes!

Our houses face lift




So Jon got this idea to of instead of just putting flowers in our flowerbeds we should put pots in the ground so the weeds don't get to them and surround the rest with rocks. At first I was like huh? But I trusted his vision and it took some effort but turned out great. We have flowers in them now and it completely changed the look of our home. Good job Honey!

Mommy/Daughter time together

Anyone that has more than 1 child knows how hard it is to spend that extra time with each child you have. It was especially hard to my Maddy girl when Landen was born and he became baby of the family. Its hard enough when you have to deal with a drama queen like Maddy but to have the attention taken away because of a toddler is something she doesn't quite understand yet. To her it's not fair and I'm a different mom. So anyhow, when I can I try to spend some time alone with her and all is well until I go back home where she's not the baby anymore.

Landens true colors


Landen is a true 1/2 mexican! Doesn't this just look so natural for him? Well at least he looks cute.
