So....

The weekend of the 12th we had a few visitors.... Gm. Lynn, Aunt Jacki and these 2 cute kids! It made my whole week, we absolutely loved their visit. Living away from "home" is hard!

Now that we are pretty much settled I am realizing its a lil harder than I thought it would be. I think it's mostly a girl thing cuz Maddi and I are the only ones that really seem to have bad days. I guess my boys are tough! Over all we are adjusting and things are good! We just have to live outside our comfort zone. And say lots of prayers!

We have been busy with soccer, Maddi is improving every game. I am so proud of her! She has also started practicing with a comp team, I think she seems to be really liking it.

P got put on the yearbook staff, James thinks he is going "nerd" on us, I think it's great cause he is a whole new kid here and is getting all A's & B's. He has really came out of his shell and is getting really involved with different groups at school. He has lots of personality and some days it's a lil much.... But we love are lil man! He is also getting a few armpit and leg hairs that he is super proud of! LoL :) 

Not much else is going on here.... Sleep, work, school :) 

San Diego....

We took a lil trip to Cali for Labor Day! It was the kids year for vacation and they planned our whole trip.  James and I were talking and said this was probably one of our most favorite vacations! It was nothing to fancy and pretty low key. 

Saturday we went to  Coronado Beach and it was amazing! Then Saturday night we all went to the temple and did baptisms for the dead. James got to baptize and confirm all of us. It was a fun experience to do as a family. The temple was absolutely amazing! 

Sunday we spent the whole day at the San Diego Zoo! It was pretty cool! After the zoo we went to Old town San Diego to go to dinner and happen to pass a San Diego church history museum. So we took a lil tour. It was about the Battallion, they had P put on all the pioneer gear, all the guns and ammo, it was right up his alley! :)  He got to see and feel how hard it was back in the day to come across the country. After that we went to a lil Mexican restaurant and the food was the BOMB!

Monday morning we went to the Old town State Park and toured around, it was pretty cool.... After that we headed for home. It was a great vacation! 

This last week we have been busy with soccer, Mads had 2 games this week and then Friday night James and Kobe went on an over nighter in Lake Havasu and P passed off one more merit badge!

It was 109* and hotter than heck! They couldn't even really go to sleep cuz they we so hot and sweating to death!

 

That's all for now....
