San Diego Zoo

Saturday night Danielle and I used our passes and went to the Zoo. Once a year they keep the park open late so you can see the animals at night. We went last year together so we had to go again this year. It was a lot of fun and a perfect southern California evening.

This guy looked up right as Danielle was taking the picture and I thought he was cute
These Meerkats were so cute, some are huddled together and then there's one by himself. He looked so lonely.
There are a few Panda's at the zoo and one just had a baby. This one was trying to sleep.
The baby Giraffe was born in the beginning of August. I love going to the zoo and spending time there. My camera's battery ran out other wise I would have taken more pictures.

Sea World & Lego Land

Dahra and Paige looking at the killer whale


Paige at Lego Land
Dahra loves to drive, anything.

Ok so I have the best job ever. Any job that pays me to go to Sea World and Lego Land all in the same week is pretty awesome. The summer has come to an end and school starts for the girls on Monday. I'm kind of excited because then we can get back to a schedule.

I have to say that I think Sea World is more fun. I love going to see the animals and how cute they are. So I'm including some of the pictures from this week.

I've also been writing a lot and really enjoying it. I think I want to take a begining writing class. Also me and my friends have decided to start a book club. We're starting with the classics from Jane Austen and I'm excited about that.
Things are still going really good and only good things are to come.
Love you all
:)

Beautiful Day

Hi all it's another beautiful sunny day here. Church was good. I got a new calling as teacher in the relief society and got set apart today. I've had that calling before and I'm excited but nervous about it.
I'm all unpacked at least my room is our living room is still messy and I'm hoping to buy a couch some time so it'll be more inviting. My room looks really cute though and I'm not tripping over boxes anymore.
Utah was a lot of fun but very short. I'm so glad I got to see everyone. I took a lot of pictures and these are some of my favorites.
Thank you so much Becky for letting me stay at your place once again. I love you and you are an amazing mother just like all my sisters.


Christian and Simeon at the Petting Zoo at Thanksgiving Point. They got to feed the horse and a cute llama.

Damon is so handsome. I'm so glad I got to hang with him.

I love Carson's eyes in this pic he looks so much like Sarah and that smile. So cute!!

Millie and I had fun she loved having her picture taken and this one of her and Brigham is so adorable. She is such a beautiful child.

We all had an amazing lunch at Brick Oven so good one of my favorite places that I have to go to when I'm home.


Jed is getting so big and he looks so handsome. He's also really good at soccer. He was practicing outside when I came over.

Dyllan was so fun and he smiles just like Jed does. He looks so serious but he was actually playing with Simeon and Jed and having a great time.

Tender Sister Times

These rocks were actually pretty far out
but you can't tell from this.




Sunday I picked up Adri from the airport and we went back to mom and Ron's. Since we all got up pretty early we had lunch and naps :)
then we hung out for a bit and went on a walk at Swammie's beach. It was overcast but still beautiful. We were trying to see the tide pools but the tide was coming in. Adri and I were brave and went out on some rocks but I lost one of my flip-flops and the rocks were pretty sharp. It was funny though. The girls were hoping to see more wildlife in the pools but maybe next time. Later after dinner and mom's homemade peach pie (yum) we played rummy and wouldn't you know...I WON!!!! We played til super late but were laughing the whole time.

Fun in Cali

This last week has been great. Erin came out with Madelyn and Lauren on Wednesday. All we've been doing since is going to the beach and swimming in the pool. Friday was fun because we went on a ferrie ride to Coronado and spent some time looking at the shops, eating lunch, and watching the many sail boats. Saturday we spent the day at the beach and then went back to go swimming in grandma's pool. I'm having a blast hanging out with the girls they have so much energy I can hardly keep up.
Today is Sunday and I'm going to pick up Adri from the airport and she's staying until Thursday. Becky is also planning on coming out too. It's going to be a blast.

4th of July celebration

Although I had a busy week of unpacking that didn't stop me from enjoying my 4th. I went with some friends to breakfast at the Pakcake house. Later in the afternoon I went to a friends house for a BBQ. I got to meet some cool people and also play on the wii. It was so much fun. Since I'm the type of person that moves the controller whenever I play video games anyway a wii is just for me. We played boxing and I got a workout :)
Then we went downtown to watch the fireworks. It was a lot of fun eventhough I got home way late.

I love being active in my singles ward. There are always so manythings going on to get into.
