Day at the beach....


With all of the packing and moving and running around it was nice to get out and enjoy the beach at Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I am getting used to being here. Sometimes I think I would miss it if we make it back to Utah or Idaho. Check out the video of Taeli it is very cute!!!!

Trevor has joined the Mounted Patrol and got a SUBA position!!!


I am so happy for my hubby!!! He has joined the Mounted Patrol so we now own an 8-year-old Bay Quarter Horse Gelding. His name is Brownie and the girls love him. Trevor has also been accepted into the SUBA program at work. He will be working with the businesses in Salinas to make them safer and to improve the neighborhoods. I think he will do an awesome job!!! We love you honey!!!

Oh the Joys of Moving!!


Well, we are finally in to our new home. Here are a few pictures of what a mess it looks like right now. Isn't moving the best? We really do love where we live now. It is quiet, full of trees, and right off the corner of 101 and 156. We are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Monterey, Gilroy, and Salinas. Trevor is loving the fact that it now takes him 5 minutes to get to work. The girls spend most of their time outside enjoying the swingset our landlords left. They are adjusting well. I spend most of my time chasing our now walking almost 1-year-old and trying to get things into the places they go. It is tough to move with 3 small kids! I feel for the Anderson's, the Wombaucher's, the Shirley's, and the Ladle's and anyone else who has moved with small children. Thank you to Laurie for watching the girls while we packed and cleaned the old house. You Rock!! So here is our new home-----

Utah/Idaho Adventure!!

The girls and I just spent two weeks in Utah at my mom's. We went to the Treehouse Museum and the kids had lots of fun even Kelley :-).



We also took the new Front Runner Train to Salt Lake to see the Temple and walk around the Gateway Mall. The girls played in the water.




During our visit to Utah, we ventured up to Idaho and had a lot of fun at Grandma Mag's and Grandpa Dell's house. Especially while helping Grandpa with his chores!!

The first saturday I was in Utah we went to Ikea in Draper. I had never been there which is sad because there is one about an hour from my house. We walked around and after buying our stuff and taking it to the car, decided we were hungry so we went back in. They were holding a karaoke sing along for a Mamma Mia! prescreening in the entrance so Amy and I decided that Mom needed to sing. She wanted us to sing with her so, Amy holding Jaxon, Mom, and Me holding Jess sang our little hearts our to Mamma Mia!. It was SO much fun! The movie was awesome too!! I would highly reccommend it!!!
