Kindergarten Graduate

Well done, little graduate!

Happy 9th!

 Can you tell that we love presents?

 Especially on birthdays!

 Happy 9th Miss Addie

 Glad it was a fun one for you!

No more thumb

There is one less thumb sucker in the world today.  Thanks to some brand new barbie roller skates!

You'd think she'd look a little happier about it :)

Congratulations Miss Olivia!

Easter

The community Easter egg hunt, with another special guest!  This time little miss Avery flew down with Esther to spend spring break with us.

And it was so fun to have them!

Even despite a bad stomach virus (that we were nice enough to share)

we still found time to party.

And aren't they pretty in their matching blue dresses!

What could be more fun than that!

Special Visit

 Look familiar?  We sure love the Mormon Battalion, and this time with Clay and Jenn and kids!

 The Beach wasn't bad either.  FREEZING cold that day, but still fun!

Thanks for coming to see us!

Christmas 2012

 Our first Christmas in San Diego was definitely one to remember

 Made extra fun with a visit from Grandpa and Grandma

 Once the Christmas festivities were over, we had a few days to enjoy San Diego

 First stop was the Mormon Battalion museum

 Addie was quite possible the hippest soldier ever!

 They loved panning for gold and making bricks

 But nothing could beat playing in the covered wagon, pretending to be all the characters on Little House on the Prairie.  They could have stayed there all day.

 Ma and Pa

 We also had time for a quick trip to Coronado Island right before a storm moved in.

Beautiful!

Special thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for making it so special!
