Busy Life

So we have been crazy busy lately. I have been trying to take pictures of it all so i can blog about it, of course. I just need the time to sit and actually do it. I have had some company come and stay with us, which was so nice. Ryan was glad to give up his room so he could have friends. Once again, everyone is welcome to come and stay with us anytime you would like. We are about 20 min from the beach so its a little drive but it beats 6 hours :) So my neighbor Dena came to stay with her two girls and my mom is here now actually. She took Ryan with her down to my brother Troy's house for a couple days. One kid is so easy. Its been nice to have some one on one time with my little girl, who will be ONE tomorrow. OMG

We are all doing well. Everyone is healthy( knock on wood...) Brent is working hard every day all day and we hope by the end of summer it pays off like we want it too. We have a great ward here. The people are just awesome and they are always having great activities which has been nice for me and the kids. We are trying to stay busy. Having nice weather all the time makes taking walks and going to the park really enjoyable. I do miss the warm weather for the pool. Its still a bit chilly at the beach and the pool. I am planning a trip to AZ next week. I cant wait. This is Ryan with his cousins hunter and Paige. They get along great. We went shopping at the outlet mall in Lake Elsinore. It was a blast. I got some great deals on clothes for the ever growing kids.
A couple days later i made play doe with the kids. Lacy tried putting some in her mouth and i firmly told her no. This is what she did. EVERYTHING is the end of the world.

This is her getting happy after she realized she can actually play with it.

And of course Ryan having a great time. This was a great activity to do with them. we had a blast.

Here we are at the San Diego zoo. I got a great deal on season passes at Costco. I love that they have 'reindeer' as Ryan calls them. Lacy didn't know what to think. I tried to make her pet them and she was trying even harder to get a way. I think over all she was happy. She kept saying dog which i guess to her means animal on four legs with fur.

Here is Ryan with his new buddies Avery and Macaya. They have this neat splash pad for the kids of course they had a blast/

This is with my friend and the kids. We has a fun trip to the beach and decided to come and get all the sand off in the warm hot tub, it was perfect.

Here is Ryan sitting next to Breanna and Brittney holding Lacy. Lacy loved having the girls here.

Beach Adventure

So this was a beach adventure...

I think i will never decide to go to the beach again. i have the worst luck. Every time i go it is cold or rainy or in this case hailing. Oh yes Hailing, on the beach. It made for an interesting day and just because i am going to look back and read this i am going to run through the day. I pick up my friend Chandee and we go to old navy but, the 50 % sale ended already. We leave there, her baby cries ,okay screamed the whole way to the beach, which i really didn't mind i mostly felt bad for her oh and Ryan kept telling the baby to stop cause it was hurting his ears. Then we go to Wendy's to get some food and i realize i dont have my wallet. I called Old Navy and they had it. So then Ryan starts yelling he wants a hot dog so i end up spending 5 bucks for a hot dog on the beach. We get to the sand and its so deep that we have to help each other carry these totally heavy strollers on to the beach. After getting settled in we start feeling rain drops and we both look at each other like oh no this cant happen...

Well it did, the rain started and it wasn't a sprinkle it was a down poor. So we take the kids and run for shelter leaving our food to get wet. I look over a min later and see a million seagulls eating our food. I ran over with lacy in my arms back into the pouring Rain / Hail and scare them away. well those little buggers are fast and they ate all our food. In a matter of a minute. So we sit down on our wet towels and try to enjoy ourselves when out of the blue the rain hail starts up again full blast but this time i wasn't about to leave and let the seagulls eat what was left of my kids food. So i stayed behind. Lacy was crying and Ryan was not very happy with the hail hitting us. Some nice lady came over and offered to watch our stuff so i could take the kids to safety. So after that ended the sun came out and it was super nice. We only stayed for another 30 min cause we were just hungry and tired after the long journey to the beach. i am glad we went. Even though it didn't turn out perfect it was a fun adventure. I love living here. I am grateful for the opportunity to try new things and meet new people. Ryan and his hole

Oh and the new way to take two kids into Old Navy

Snails AND Lacy

So i haven't figured out how to separate my two kids. This post was meant to be about Ryan and his pet snail but then Lacy was there too and she looked so cute( and demanding) with her food that i had to take a picture of her too and then of course i have to blog about it cause it was so cute. So anyways, we were on our way to church on Sunday and Ryan past a snail on the way to the car and he wanted to play with it. I told him that when we got home we could go snail hunting which we did but there were no snails. So the next day at the park Ryan's friend Avery found him a snail. He HAD to bring in home and make it his pet. I told him we would need to put it back outside eventually but he refused. I think it died today or its just sleeping in its shell all day long. I guess i will put it out tomorrow and see what happens. see how cute she is
'Our pet'

Isn't it so cute.

A Nice Day at the Park

So we went to the park today. It was great fun. Today is the first day in like a week that it has been nice out. I guess the saying here is may gray, June gloom. May wasn't too bad until the last week so i guess we will see how June goes. We made friends with a family in our ward. They are so great and already invited us for dinner. There two youngest are pretty similar in age with Ryan and Lacy. Here is Ryan with Avery. They are so cute playing together. Avery caught Ryan this snail and Ryan just thought it was the greatest thing. We now have a pet snail. Its just so great to have friends close. They actually live in our same apts. I love it.
Yes lacy is eating a rock, she thought it was quite yummy:)
