Home Sweet Home.

Home Sweet Home.

Like I said in the last post, we went to California for my brother Steffan's Baptism, and to Disneyland for my Grandparent's 50th Anniversary. While I love Disneyland, it is definitely good to be home finally. It was really fun just relaxing from the everyday routine and not stressing about everyday chores, school, school work, and work. It was also fun just spending time with my family! I love my family so much! I don't know where I would be without ANY of them. I'm not just talking about my immediate family, I also mean my extended family as well (So my aunts, Uncles, etc.) but especially my brothers and sisters(Including my "Long lost siblings" ;) you know who you are)! They are the best siblings anyone could ask for. We always have a good time & we are always there for one another. I am truly blessed.. I know I say that a lot. But I am. & I don't want to be selfish by not expressing how thankful I am & not expressing that I know I am blessed. I am also a lucky woman, because I have been so deeply blessed to be married to Dee. He is my best friend & everyday I can't help but love him more and more!! He makes me a better person & I just know I have been blessed. & I am so thankful!

Okay.. enough about going on & on about how blessed and thankful I am. ha. On the way to California Dee and I stopped in Reno so we could see the Reno Temple! We saw a lot of pretty Sights on the way to the Sacramento area! (:

The Highway we were on was called "The Extraterrestrial Highway... I don't know about you, but it made me think of the song: ET by Katy Perry. haha.

There was some random lake.. that was completely deserted.. haha it was kind of funny.

I love Taking pictures of everything!!

The Reno temple!

 Well the Baptism was really good. I had to speak (Because Steffan asked me to.. I was sooo Nervous. I don't like getting up in front of a lot of people & talking! It is kind of scary.. Just saying.) Anyway here is a picture of Steffan (Also Trace my cousin was baptized on the same day):

 

Look how cute they are!

So we spent time in the Sacramento area for a couple days (Friday afternoon-Sunday morning) and we just spent time together as a family!

Kayleeh loves to pose.. haha

Steffan being silly.... haha & Megan, Myself, and Miss Harper.

We went and saw Rissa... and Myself and Miss Harper(:

  They are silly!! haha (: (Steffan, Malachi, & Maddisen)

On Saturday after the Baptism, we had a chance to go see the Sacramento Temple (one of my favorites, Because in 2006, when I was a freshman in High school, I had the opportunity to be in the temple Production while the temple was being built. We got to Plant trees, and do a lot of helping out. We got to go through the temple before it was dedicated, and we got to put bootys on everyone that went through the temple one day!)

Here are some pictures:

 While we were at there we ran into my friend Jamey's Mom it was really nice seeing her.

I am so glad we had the chance to go(: I am so happy!

Sunday morning around 8am Dee and I left to San Francisco to Visit one of my best friends (Amanda) from Middle school/ High school. I am so glad we got to see her!

I love San Francisco!
We also took the opportunity to go and see the Oakland Temple! It is so beautiful:

 Finally after what seemed the longest drive ever.. We made it to the place we were staying. We didn't go to Disneyland until Monday though.

On Splash mountain! & some of us in Tarzan's Tree House.

Happy 50th Anniversary to my amazing Grandparents! 

To end the night we went to California Pizza Kitchen with my Dad, Diana, Megan, Justin, Kayleeh, & Caydince. & We got a Pumpkin Cheese cake to goooo:

California Adventure: Tuesday October 16, 2012

Waiting to talk with Crush! (From Finding Nemo!)

Dee is going to be a good Daddy ((((: haha

We got to learn how to draw Oswald the Rabbit (Disney's original character before Mickey Mouse.)
I didn't take that many pictures that day... haha
We went to the New Port Beach temple after California Adventure that day... but we didn't get a good picture, because it was night ):

This was the only picture that looked good... but you still cannot see the whole temple. ): Oh well.

Well that is the close of our Vacation. We left the next morning at 5am (California is a hour earlier than we are so it was really 6am Utah time). We were so tired. We left that early because I had class at 2pm ... which sucked. But in the end... it is nice to finally be home (Besides school.. work.. and Homework.)
