Happy 4 Years! Celebrate on the Oregon Coast!

More Visitors!

So I admit, I am not a very good blogger, please forgive me! So I'm trying to catch up now. These pictures are from when my parents and Ryan came to visit us a little bit ago. We had a great time with them! In spite both my parents recovering from surgery's and not being able to walk around very well :)

This was way cool, a we were down by the fishing docs the boats were releasing water and some small fish. There was a seal and some pelican's to enjoy dinner :)

Kelli & Elora's Visit

Kelli & her friend Elora came out to CA to visit us a few weeks ago. We had a great time with them! We spent lazy days at Coronado Beach, Kayaking in La Jolla, tried new exoctic foods :) I wish they could have stayed with us longer...

Get ready

Get set

Our Spontaneous Road Trip to ARIZONA

Yes, I realize this is a late post, but I figure, better late than never!

Carter and I spent our General Conference In Arizona with Tom, Jada and Kealani. We go back to the days at BYU when each had one car, Jada left to work really early, so Carter and I'd pick Tom up and I'd drop both of them off at school before going to work! These guys are the best, they're living in AZ right now with their precious baby Kea, she'll be turning one next month!

We had such a great time with them and their beautiful new home!

Carter's first ATV experience :)

Chillin in the pool (literally)

Kea was always so happy, I never heard her cry all weekend! Really Jada, what's your secret!

ROAD TRIP

Happy Easter! Carter and I took a road trip To Las Vegas to watch my not so little brother play basketball! Vegas and Easter just go together. many people make it a habit of actually going to church on Easter... my family. well we took a different route...most of my childhood memories of celebrating Easter were spent in a Las Vegas hotel room, or motor home watching my older brothers play in the Easter Classic Basketball tournament. So we figured what better way than to keep tradition and be there again for Ryan! Astoundingly, the Easter Bunny was STILL able to find us!!

Ryan is a true champion! Anyone who hasn't seen him play ball yet... you need to! He lead his team to win First place in their division, he was a key player at critical times and scored a couple 3 pointers for me! All this while being sick! (they found out when they got home that he had some kind of bronchitis!) They lost by 2 pts in the top bracket of the tournament by a team from Jamaica man!

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics during the games because I was using my mom's camera for that.. but Saturday after the games, we went off the strip to the Las Vegas Temple. The temple there is beautiful! we had such a nice time relaxing and wandering around the temple grounds.

There were beautiful flowers there. I kept falling behind because I'd stop to take so many pictures.

I love this picture! I actually just framed a larger copy of it. It looks really good :) ... maybe I should submit it to the New Era?? what do you think? Ha ha...
