San Fran trip!

We had a great trip to San Fran to visit my mom back in mid-July. We got to see lots of different things, including the Golden Gate Bridge, the Redwoods, and a small trip to the (cold!) beach. It was just me and the kids, and traveling with them in the car for 13+ hrs by myself was challenging but it was nice to get away :)

 @ the Redwood Forest- those were some HUGE trees!

Andrew took a tumble in the water, jacket and all. Needless to say he was done playing after that.

Early birthday celebration. They were DELISH!!!

We'll go back soon :)

4th of July!

We had so much fun with our BFF's and family on the 4th! We had yummy BBQ, and went swimming. The fireworks were great! Love being back home :)

June 2013- calming down... maybe?

Andrew's such a funny monkey. He can't have a haircut without sucking on a lollipop. He did a great job and didn't freak out.

We also (finally!) did London's baby blessing. We ended up doing it at the bishop's office since I have to work every Sunday now- booo! Great-grandma Billings made her baby blessing dress out of my wedding dress. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Even the beads were from my dress! 

Then London turned 4 months old! She started to giggle and makes lots of babbling sounds. This is the beginning of my favorite baby/toddler/child stage.

We also tried to get her to eat rice cereal but it didn't work out. Oh well, we'll try again in July/August.

May 2013... Even busier!

Uncle Victor graduated from college! WOOT WOOT! So proud of him :) 

Then London and Andrew had photo shoots for a website and they turned out adorable:

In the middle of all the craziness, London turned 3 months! Her smiles were even bigger and brighter, and she makes her brothers laugh :)

These kids are cute and yet drive me so crazy... How's that possible?! 

...And I got a job! I work as a unit clerk in Shock Trauma ICU back at the hospital I worked at when I was pregnant with J. I absolutely love all the action!

April 2013- new home, back home!

So we moved back to Utah (should've never left in the first place)! 

Jacen turned 5 years old and he loved having his friends over for his party. It was a blast!

A few days later, London turned 2 months old! She was giving us the cutest first smiles... Love this little girl. 

Trying to settle down after yet another interstate move has been tough! But we love being back.
