New Port Trip- The Beach

 It was a little chilly but we Loved the beach! The kids had a blast and begged for more! Dylan loved the "water and the dirt" to swim at. We found sand crabs, built sand castles, Grandpa fed the crazy birds, Jett started walking... he walked really far! The ocean is one of my favorite spots!

New Port Trip- Balboa

 One of the nights we walked around Balboa Island. It was a fun night out! The kids loved the Ferris wheel! We went out to dinner on the way back to our place.

Happy Birthday Grandma Bev- you are an amazing woman and I'm grateful for you in my life!

My sweet niece Dylann is my sidekick sometimes and I love it!

Sometimes in life you just need to eat dessert first ;)

We just took family pictures- these are a few snapshots- I'm excited to see the finished ones!

Amy and Jayson adopted Ashlyn at the beginning of September- what a blessing! She is such a sweet baby!

Organizing sometimes makes me happy! And these are my shoes! Love it!

Oh and Happy Halloween from the best kindergarten teachers ever! Me, Shauna Bigham, & Lindsi Clements

Pierre...

So last February Pierre showed up in my life and I thought sharing the love is a great thing. He has been on a few adventures and thanks to Dustin writes amazing love poems to travel with him. My good friend Anilee was out of town, so Pierre decided to visit her bedroom and be there awaiting her arrival. When she got home I got the best phone call from her! She was home alone and when she opened her door almost had a hard attack, but when she realized it was just Pierre she started laughing so hard and she called :) he also left a hand as an inside joke because of one of her amazing dates: "oh there's your hand, I thought it was afraid of my hand". Good times!!! :)
