Wowy, A lot has happened

We had so much love and support this last month and have been growing and learning a lot. Most important we have been growing closer to both of our families.

Here are some fun pics from the beach.







Sorry I haven't been blogging. Our technology is limited with our income so it's been a pain to upload pics. I will try and do better 2012. Instead of waiting to upload all the stuff I missed I am going to start with now and later I will go back and fill in the blanks.

We are now in Southern California living with Eric's parents. Yes 4 of us in one little bedroom. Not ideal. Things are looking very hopeful this year. We decided to break a lot of bad habits and learn from our mistakes and move forward to a new life. We feel very blessed to live in such a warm climate and have Eric's siblings and parents and extended family all so close.

Eric is working on changing careers from Horticulture to Information Technology. The road has been a lot harder and longer then we would have hoped. We have both learned a lot about what is possible in this economy and Eric's limits. We are grateful for the family support we have received. Eric has found a school he really likes and is planning on getting another Bachelors Degree so he can compete in his field. Right now we are making a plan to find the most steady position he can and hopefully move into the IT department when he graduates.

We went to the beach yesterday with Eric's Mom and Sister and her family. We had a lot of fun. It takes practice knowing what to bring and so forth, so I guess I will just have to keep going until I am really good at it. ;)

Neighbors, friends and now primary children's baptism

I'm so glad I was able to be apart of helping bring these sweet children unto our Heavenly Father. I was able to introduce the gospel to them and take the missionary lessons with them and watch their eyes open to the truth. This is a picture of us at their baptism a few weeks ago. I sang with another neighbor/friend Katelyn Thomas a duet "Teacher do you Love me?" at their baptism. It was very beautiful. Katelyn was the little girl who asked if we could go invite Tatumn to activity days which is what started the whole process. :) I hope they continue to learn and grow like they have this summer.

Park City with Grandparents

My parents own a time share in Park City and invited us to come swim and play with them while they were there. Here are some pictures of the boys in the pool.

Carter's First Birthday-Mickey Mouse themed

Carter had the perfect 1st Birthday. We started by having their life size stuffed animals at the table with party hats on and a living room full of balloons and streamers and birthday decorations. He and Aden loved it. We had a wonderful breakfast, then went to the mall playground and had the whole thing to ourselves. Then we came home and I finished a birthday cake and we met our neighbors and friends at our community pool for a fun party. Then that weekend Grandparents came to town and we had a official party with Turtle Icecream cake and presents. :)

We had a little pool party on the day of his Birthday and I invited all my activity day girls and neighbors that are in love with Carter and Aden. Her is a picture of us together. :)
