We're moving.

We have had lots things going on with us and one of those is that we decided to move back to Sacramento. We packed up our stuff in PODS before our trip to Peru and Ecuador in June and after we got back from the trip we drove up to Sacramento. We found a cute house in Citrus Heights which we will move into this weekend. It is close to where we both have jobs so it's a perfect location for right now. As soon as we move we will post the pictures!

We were very sad to leave San Diego and leave our new friends in the Vista 8th ward, but we decided it would be the best for us at this time. We will miss you!

Cindy's visit after the reunion

Cindy and Jack rode back from the reunion with us to have a little fun in the San Diego sun. We didn't do much just hung out by the beach and by the pool. It was fun having them here and seeing Jack with his new walking skill.

We're having a baby!

While at the reunion we announced to our families that we are expecting! I am now 16 weeks and this sonogram was taken at about 9 weeks. Expected due date is January 5, 2009!

Family Reuinion

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to Northern Arizona for the Bundy Reunion in Mount Trumbull. This was Jeff's first time going there and unfortunately it was the worst weather we have had out there in a long time. We got very few breaks from the wind and rain so thank goodness for mom and dad's new trialer where we at least got to eat away from the elements.

This is some of the property down from the mountain where we used to brand my grandpa's cattle when he had them.

It was fun taking Jeff to the Grand Canyon, which was also one of his firsts!

Tucker peeking over the edge....
Of course we had to get in on the races too! Jackie beat me by one step...I'm positive it's because of those long legs.
It was also fun getting Jeff in on the "red-neck" things my family does like target and skeet shooting.

Even my mom got in on the fun this year!This is the cemetary down in the valley near the school house where a lot of our relatives are buried.
And here's what passes by some of the time...

After a long, cold, dirty weekend it was nice to go back to St. George and shower at Jeff's parents house and do some lounging by the pool. Thank you Bob and Venice.

My sister came to visit!

OK! It's about time I update our blog, huh! Jackie and the boys came to visit last weekend from Sacramento and we had such a good time. The zoo, Pizza Port, swimming, dancing, making cookies, and the beach. It was so fun to have them here and we miss them so much already. Thank's to Eric for giving up his wife for 4 days. :)

Don't be fooled by this face, Taylor was not afraid of the air balloon ride over the zoo.

Mmm...Ruby's on the Peir.

Nothing beats ice-cream in the spa.

How much sand can one head hold? This is actually the day after Taylor threw sand all over his brother and even swimming didn't get that stuff out. Well actually, how could it? Tucker doesn't like to dunk. Taylor however, has no problem with being thrown into the pool. We were cracking up! He loved it.

This takes a long time to buffer the first time, so don't give up! It will play...

Easter is coming!

We want to wish you all a Happy Easter and hope you and your families are doing well. We miss all the friends we made in San Leandro, San Francisco, and the other places we have lived and hope that someday our paths will cross again. So this year we decided to color some eggs because I have not done it in a few years, and it was a fun thing to do with my family growing up. I wanted my eggs to last so I could use them for a decoration so Jeff and I were trying to blow out the eggs and also keep the hole small but after 5 minutes of blowing and half the egg out, our cheeks,(oh excuse me, Jeff corrects me, our masseter muscles) were killing us. Jeff decided he would suck the egg yolk out instead because it was easier...yuck...he was on his own for this. I couldn't even watch it was grossing me out so bad!

The color process: I got this die at Dollar Tree and it surprised me that it worked so well.

And the final result...

I had to get a picture of my flowers and vase too. As you can see, our kitchen is sooo dark and needed a little spring pick-me-up. I got the white vase for a few bucks at Ross and I wanted to add a little color to it so I went to Micheals and picked out this green color which didn't look as neon as it turned out. However, I think the color is growing on me now.

Cindy tagged me!

I've been able to avoid these until now...

10 years ago: Just moved back home from Utah and was the CTR 8 teacher. I was going to school taking pre-requisites for dental hygiene school, and working as a licensing/contracting specialist in an office where my dad worked also. I loved this job, I got to have lunch every day with my dad! Here is my primary class practicing for sharing time...

If I were suddenly a billionaire: Pay off my school loans and Jeff's school loans, lets see, there wouldn't be much left after that! Like Cindy, buy some houses for us and the whole fam-damily, maybe some vacation homes too. Then put myself through culinary school, I'd love to be a chef.

Things on my to do list today: Prepare my presentation and game for the Relief Society Birthday Celebration, send a reminder email about girl's night out, go grocery shopping, do laundry, pick up my car from the dealer, and I haven't worked out yet, ahhh!

3 bad habits: Procrastination, throwing my clothes on the floor after taking them off instead of hanging them up right away, and eating all the food on my plate even after satiety sets in, (don't ever teach your children this).

3 places I've lived: Springville, UT, San Leandro, CA and lots of places in Sacramento, CA.

5 jobs I've had: Dairy Queen, bagger at Safeway, administrative assistant, dental assistant, and dental hygienist.

5 things nobody knows about me: Well, my family may know these things but anyhow here they are: 1) I wanted to be a gymnast when I was a little girl. I thought I had a chance because I was always the shortest in my class, but unfortunately the growth spurt finally hit me at 16. Springboard diving was the closest I got.

2) I was a pretty good artist as a youngster. The middle picture was drawn when I was 3. The other one was on the first day of kindergarten at 4 years old.

3) I was in a wanna-be gang when I was in high school. I was quite the bad girl; baggy pants and everything (if Jeff only knew). Here's my posse...Indecent Styles or "IDS".

4) I was in the AFJROTC in high school and participated in the color guard where we marched in local parades. Here I am throwing a rifle (on the far right).

5) I totalled my mom's car my Senior year while driving home from seminary and Jackie was in the passenger seat sleeping. Apparently I fell asleep also. :) oppsie
