We MOVED!

We are trading in snowman for sandcastles, mountains for beaches, & 11 hours drive home for 6 hours.

Good bye Lehi... how we LOVE you, our friends/ friendships, our neighborhood, our home, the school, the parks, the mountains, the temples, ALL of our great traditions & memories.

Hello San Diego...

our new backyard & view.

 

Come & visit!



Temple Square 2012

We have LOVED this family tradition of seeing the Temple Square lights & walking around the temple for the past five years.  This may be our last time for a really long time.

(We started with two kids & ended with four)

 

June...

Because we LOVE her!

 

The McQueens

We invited President & Sister McQueen over for Steve's famous chicken parm, FHE & Ukraine mission stories.  It's always a treat to be around them, they truly are amazing people. 

 

Thanksgiving 2012

We drove to Arizona & surprised our families for Thanksgiving!

The look on their faces was priceless when we showed up at their houses, work & the park.  Thank you Aunt Shanda & Aunt Christie for helping us pull it off.

We are very grateful for our LOVING & AWESOME families. 

(I took out the camera only for one day... I was very disappointed when I got home)

Scrapaway in the Snow

Another great weekend at the cabin.  No sewing for me this time... enjoyed the beautiful snow while indoors, snuggled with Junie B, laughed with the ladies & cut over 3000 strips of paper for my RS extra activity!

June's Baby Blessing

June looked beautiful in her dress, to go along with the beautiful blessing her dad gave her. 

 

***she was awake for the entire blessing, looking around at all the men.***

She's Only 3

You know your three year old has older siblings when she says things like...

 

 

1. "Mom, can I play with your I-touch or is it charging?"

 

2. "Can I watch one show on Netflix before bed?" "Please!"

 

3.  "Mom, do you like Justin Bieber?"

 

4.  "I don't want to wear that shirt, it looks awkward!"

 

5.  "Chan, stop being so rude!"

 

6. "Can you text _____ mom so she can play at my house?"

 

7.  "Lets go get a drink at Harts, I'm really thirsty."

 

8.  "Oh my gosh, that is really cute!"

 

9.  "Sagey & Benett sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!"

 

10. "Chan, if you don't leave me alone, you're gonna be busted!"

Halloween 2012

The kids had a GREAT Halloween!

Happy Halloween

Rosie & Mr. Clean

Rosie the Riveter & Mr. Clean went to an AWESOME Halloween par-tay!

 

Pumpkins

The kids had a blast painting their own pumpkin for FHE.  They turned out very colorful & unique!

 

Sisters

Sometimes Sage thinks she's the ONLY big sibling in the house & just can't get enough of her little "Junie B."  She is constantly asking to hold her, help change her diaper & scrub her head during bath time.  And lets not forget when she stuffs her binky in her mouth while saying, "don't you cry my little Junie B."

I enjoy watching the love that these two little sisters instantly have for each other. 

 

7 Weeks

Junie Girl!
