CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

...From the redwood forest to the California poppies....We can hardly wait to get there!!!

We are leaving tonight...sometime...whenever we are ready I guess, which probably wont happen until I get off the computer! We are so excited to get to visit Josh and Amanda in Utah. I can hardly believe that the day to leave is here!! I can't wait to see where they live and take our kids to temple square! We are also thrilled to get to visit the Staley's in California! I am so excited for Jessie and Tommy, and I can't wait to show our kids all of the beaches, forests, and trails that I loved as a kid.

Hannahs Kindergarten Spring Concert!

Here she is Miss America!! All dolled up and ready for her stage debut!!!

They sang some cute songs based on Aesop's fables. They did a great job! Aren't they all so cute??! Who can resist a room full of singing kindergartners??!! It was so much fun for her! I love these moments in childhood time.

Sweetheart

Isaac is so sweet...He used all his bonus bucks at school to buy this bear for me! Isn't that the nicest thing??? I love this kid!!

Happy Happy Birthday Noah!!

My little Noah is 10!!! They grow so fast!! He wanted a sleepover party with friends so...I tried...We had Noah's favorite dinner...Enchiladas, salad, and an ice cream cake! (the BEST cake ever!!) We did the singing and the presents, then the boys all just played until bedtime when we set up all the sleeping bags and turned on a couple of movies. We rented Stardust (which I loved and would recommend) and The Last Mimzy (which I thought could have been a lot better and didn't need the naked bum shot of the science teacher!) oops! I do think that everyone had a great time...I know that Noah did!! Happy Birthday Big Guy!

He clearly has the weird face making gene (from his dad!!)

Here they are the crazy bunch that played all night! L-R...Jared, Jordan, Andrew, Sam, Noah, Will, Eric, and Isaac!
