Where do I begin...
After a fun filled summer with my sister living with us and more pictures than I know what to do with it's hard to decide where to even start. Now I sorta see why people post so often...it's to keep up. We did a lot of fun things this summer; beach days, Disneyland, Utah, San Diego, Lake Mead, Tom's Farms, Balboa Island, Coronado Island, farmer's markets, movies...the works. We're very blessed to live here and love seeing all the new things in California. However...I'm really missing that beautiful Utah fall weather and dying for some relief from the heat here. But, it will come, eventually.
We're loving our new ward and the people in it and continue to be amazed by the church and it's strength. Life is hard and times are challenging but it's so nice to find comfort through the testimonies and experiences of others.
As for news...Aly, yes my little sister, is engaged! We're so excited and happy for her and Brian. They're getting married in December and we can't wait to attend! Wish I could be there for all the fun wedding plans but...not this time. Todd is working hard at Premier and loving every minute of it and as for me well, I'm slowly but surely getting over my hermit crab ways and feeling a little better every day. We can't wait for our new little addition next March! And yes, it is a girl. (Thanks Coral!!)
Ty...where do I start with him. He is the best thing in the whole world. I love watching him grow and love even more at what a good boy he has been while I've been a terrible mother hunched over the toilet. He takes such good care of me and although he has his two-year old moments, he has the sweetest little heart. We love our little guy.

Yay! Yeah post more!! Glad you guys are here, but I agree I would like it cooler too! ;) Yay a girl!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteA girl!!! Did you just find out?...I don't remember you mentioning that Sunday. So fun. Nice to have one of each. We'll have to have a shower for you. I hear Utah doesn't do the multiple child showers up there, even if it's a different gender?...per my sis-n-law.=) Congrats. Hang in there with the sickness. I'm very serious about my offer to watch Ty. He could come play and we'd wear him out so he'd take a awesome nap for you...think about it.
