Callifornia trip part 4/ stop in Reno to see Tami

 On the way home we stopped and saw Tami and Eric and their super cute kiddos Ellee and Samantha. I am in love with that baby! Trey loves babies and wanted to hold her the entire time. We wanted to take her home with us but Tami wouldn't let us. She is seriously the cutest baby I have ever seen. Eric made us a wonderful dinner of carne asada tacos! It was fabulous. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends! As we were leaving we stopped in a Swedish village that is in Kingsbury California. A lot of immigrants have located there. We stopped and had the best ice cream I have ever had at Jebs Swedish creamery. The coconut ice cream was to die for. The had some really neat murals on the walls in the little town. So fun!

California Trip part 3 / Yosemite National Park

 On Friday we went to Yosemite National Park. It was really pretty and extremely cold. Kevin went hiking up a bunch of huge rocks to the waterfall. There wasn't much water coming down because of the season. I will add pictures has I get them from my sister and SIL's.

Here is most of us. I thinking we are missing Peter, James and Kari.

California trip part 2 / Harris Ranch

We love going to Harris Ranch for Thanksgiving. Ella likes to drive over with us. It's about a hour drive from Jeremy's house. We love the atmosphere and the food! You can get just about anything to eat there. Kevin's favorite and Wyatt's seemed to be the prime rib. The turkey was fantastic! The kids loved playing with their cousins! We always have to take a couple of family pics. Maisey was not happy in this first one.

California trip 2013/ Thanksgiving

The first day we stayed in Oceanside and had a little fun at the beach. We met up with my sister Amanda and family and took some family photos under the pier. It was crazy and a lot of photographers so we tried to hurry and in the process didn't mix up my colors very well but that's okay at least everyone looks happy. Later we ate some yummy seafood and kevin and the kids went swimming at the pool. The next day we went to Legoland and had a lot of fun, well the kids did. I didn't think it was that great but the kids sure loved all the lego's. Trey wasn't feeling that great and had a headache so we felt really bad that he didn't' enjoy it as much as he would have. Kevin let the kids each pick out a Lego set and they really loved that. The next day Kevin went scuba diving in La Jolla and had a great time. He saw lobster and halibut. The only bad thing was that someone broke into his car while scuba diving and stole his phone and a few of our duffle bags which contained all the kids clothes and kevin's running shoes and our athletic wear. It sucked but luckily we had some other clothes of the kids in a dirty laundry bag that they didn't take so we were able to do laundry at my brothers and the kids still had stuff to wear. I loved Oceanside a lot and want to go back!

The view outside of our room. We stayed in the Grand Hyatt. The kids loved looking out the window and seeing all the boats coming in. We walked over to Seaport Village while Kevin was scuba diving.

Maisey donates her hair

Maisey donated 8 inches to Pantene. I have to say her hair is so much easier to do and she is loving it!

Halloween 2013

Yeah for Halloween! My sister and kids came down and went with me to the ward Fall Festival. The kids loved having their cousins with them. On Halloween night my friend Jen and her kids came trick or treating with us around the neighborhood. Again the kids got way too much candy! I love this picture of Wyatt ready to take a bite out of Hannah. Wyatt was a zombie, Trey a bandit, and Maisey a Lalaloopsy doll. I believe her name is Splatter Splash. 

North Shore

We always have a blast at the pool! My sister and kids came down and we spent the day having a great time. Kevin was off that day from work so I got to spend time with hubby and the kids had a great time playing in the water with their dad. Fun times!
