The Month of April


The first weekend in April, Mike, Jeremy, and I drove up to Utah for my Nauvoo Class reunion. We drove up on Friday night when Mike got home from work. Our goal was to pull an all night drive, but as Mesquite got closer, we decided to stop and sleep for the rest of the night. We stayed at the Virgin River......worst experience ever! The whole hotel smelled of smoke, the beds were tiny and hard as a rock and not to mention our neighbors. Lets just say it was like we were in a movie. Where a family comes to rest and the couple next door are "having fun" if you know what I mean. Not fun at all. However, the rest was necessary and well needed. We woke up early so we could get into Springville Utah for lunch. We stayed with Mike's sister, Jami and her family. I love her family. She has three little girls who are just so much fun. After we showered and got ready, we drove up to Salt Lake to walk around Temple square. We met up with my awesome sister and a couple of her friends to just visit. After we walked around, Mike and I went up to Bountiful to my reunion. Only FIVE of my nauvoo friends showed up. It was a lot of fun to catch up with them and remember old times.


Then on Sunday morning, we woke up to SNOW!!! It was fun. JEremy did not like the snow at all. He didnt like being cold ( I don't blame him). He spent most of the time in the garage with a scowl on his face. He is DEFINETLY a So Cal kid. After we played in the snow, we went over to my Best friend Allysa's house for breakfast and conference. We enjoyed waffles and bacon with her cute little family and parents. Once the session was over, Jeremy and I said goodbye to Mike as he left to go back to California so he could get to work on Monday. Then Jeremy and I drove up to Idaho with my sister so we could drive home with her on thursday. We had a FUN week. As Jessica took finals and went to class, Jeremy and I hung out with my roomie from Nauvoo Miriam and her cute sons. We also hung out with my other roomie KAtie and her cute kids. Idaho has to be one of the coldest palces EVER!! We had a good time. Jessica and I left on Wednesday night and drove to Saint George and stayed the Days Inn. It was a much better expierence. A big king bed with fluffy pillows, way comfortable. We woke up early on Thursday and drove the rest of the way home. Jessica and I had tons of fun. Jeremy was the BEST little boy I could have ever asked for. HE just sat in the back of the car and watched MEGamind over and over and over........
On April 13th we went to Disneyland and I FORGOT my camera. IT was a wonderful day spent with my parents, Jessica, and Jordan. Jeremy had so much fun this year. He was able to go on more of the rides and enjoyed every minute of it. We asked him if he wanted to wait to see Mickey or go on another ride, and he said another ride. We were able to go on EVERYTHING we wanted to. We stayed for the fireworks becasue JEremy wanted to see them, within 5 minutes of the show, Jeremy was out. It turned out to be a very fun day and look forward to continue this traditoon of going once a year.



Easter was tons of fun this year. We all got new Easter clothes....don't we look great? I think so.


Jeremy had so much fun hunting for "eggies." He was able to find them all with little to no help at all. The month of April had to be the best month so far.

The Month of February and March

On February 24, Mike and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I cant believe it has been that long. It seems so short but also so long. I love him so much. He IS the man of my dreams and my prince charming. He is a wonderful husband and an awesome daddy.
Sometime in february, we went to a horse ranch that boards Amber's mom's horse. We went with Amber and Laila and Rachel and Kaylee. This s a picture of Jeremy being sweet with Laila Kaylee. I just love this picture and how the girls are touching are so interested in Jeremy.
Here is a picture of us feeding Amber's mom's horse. Jeremy enjoyed feeding all of the horses.
Presidents Day weekend Jessica came home and we went to the Santa Monica Pier. I just love that we can go to the beach basically all year. It is one of my favorite places. The smell, the breeze, the sound, just everything about it!

We also went bowling! Jeremy couldn't bowl because our alley has the rule where the kids have to be 4 years old. We had fun anyway. We did absolutely NOTHING in March. No real excitement happened.......However April was exciting.....so until the next post.

The Month of January

January was a fun month.We went to the "monster jam" truck show. Jeremy LOVED it. We had so much fun. IT was at the Anaheim Angels Stadium. I didn't do such a good job at taking this picture.
This is a picture of the "gave gigger" (grave digger) on his freestyle run. Oh my gosh this was so fun. The jumps the doughnuts, the noise, and how crazy these trucks go. Again, Jeremy loved seeing all the monster trucks.
Here is Jeremy so happy with all the "monster cucks" He had so much fun. He didn't even care about the loud noise. We would try to cover his ears, but he didn't want us too.

Not to mention it SNOWED, here in Santa Clarita. It was fun to see it fall. It didn't snow all that much, but for us born and raised southern Californians.......the 1/2 inch of snow was fun. Also, we started to potty train Jeremy. He was quite easy to train. He loves peeing standing up. We did have an issue with pooping, but now he is a big boy with a rare accident. Jeremy you are such a big boy and mommy and daddy are so proud of you.

The Month of December

We had a very good Christmas. Jeremy had so much fun with the decorations and all of the "flashlights" on all of the houses. He kind of understood santa and bringing presents. The month os December was a good one, because Mike got a teaching job. For those who didn't know, he was out of a job since august. But on December 13, Mike started working for Northridge hospital as a PE teacher. The hospital is funding a grant that provides PE programs to elementary schools.
My dad, "papa dude" got Jeremy his own motorcycle. He loves it soo much. Thanks Papa Dude
Santa brought Jeremy a tool bench that he loves. Santa also brought him is own "e-tar" (guitar). Thats the one thing he asked for. He got so much for Christmas this year. It turned out to be a good Christmas!
We also did a ginger bread house.......Jeremy loved eating the candy.

And here is a picture with Santa at our ward christmas party. He did not want to sit on his lap, so we all stood behind him. All in all, it was a good month.

The Month of November

In the month of November, we jumped in leaves lots, because our lovely tree in front dumps leaves by the hundreds. After raking up leaves a few times, we decided to wait until they were all of the tree. Jeremy LOVED jumping in the leaves and helping us rake. He would run and fall into the piles. Sure it took a little longer to do the job, but we had fun.
More leaf jumping.........
Since, my house has the big playroom, and can fit lots of people, we had Thanksgiving at our house. This is a picture of the table setting. One thing i regret, is not taking a picture of the group of people we had. We were all able to fit in the same room. The list of our company includes the following: Mikes parents, Mikes brothers family, Mikes sisters family, Mikes Aunt and Uncle, Mikes Grandparents, My Parents, my sister, my brother, My grandma and my Aunt Luana. We had Had a total of 19 adults and 6 kids. We had lots of fun sharing in thanksgiving.

And once again, more leaf jumping
