Cal-if-or-ni-a

Last month my mom, Trey and I went to California to visit Bryce. (He is at Camp Pendleton finishing his infantry training) It was kind of a quick trip, but it was a lot of fun to spend time with Bryce and enjoy some nice weather!! Saturday we spent the day at Knott's Berry Farm. It was sort of busy because they had a special going on with the tickets, but that didn't stop me and Bryce from standing in line to go on the roller coasters!!! (Love, love, love 'em!!!)



Can you believe how crazy Trey's hair is?????? It is everywhere!! Almost every single person we saw stopped to touch it, it's so fluffy! It is actually his 9 month birthday in this pic......I love how happy and smiley he always is!!!!


Sunday we went to church on base, it was kinda different.......it was in an old church house that has been there for forever, but it was fast Sunday, so it was cool to be able to listen to all the boys bear their testimony's!! Surprisingly there were actually about 30 people there, Bryce said that there are usually only about 10.......


He had to check in around 5, so I took a couple pics of him in front of the "machine" that he will be driving.......watch out! Oh yeah, did you notice his glasses???? Every Marine that wears glasses or contacts has to wear them.....on the weekends you can put your contacts back in, but Bryce has been getting infections from his. So he wore the awesome glasses all weekend :)


Anyway, I had a lot of fun spending time with Brycie, I miss him so much!! And it was nice to be just me and my mom too!! (I could always use a good girls trip!)

My bithday!

Dusty and I went down to Las Vegas, spur of the moment, for my Birthday.....I think it was actually the first time I had left Trey too (a little scary for me) But we had so much fun! We ate a yummy dinner at CPK and then went and saw "O", which was so crazy good!!! This next pic is our room with our upgraded view, isn't it fantastic?!?!?!



I will never upgrade the view again!!!!

New York

We got to go to New York on Christmas day to visit Pampa and Ma'maa for a week. We had so much fun! The flight there was a piece of cake, both of the boys did so good! Tryston absolutely loved the airplane! We spent most of our time at the house hanging out, watching "kid" movies, playing cards, and eating Beth's yummy meals (one of the things I miss about them being gone.......Sunday meals with the whole family!)!!! We also got to tour the city, go to the mall and the movie Desperaux, and attend church.......which consisted of maybe 12 people total. We had a blast, and can't wait for them to be home!!!


In the City.....

On our way home.....

Since we had sooooo much fun, we knew something would have to go wrong......right??? Anyway when we got to the gate to check in, to go home, the guy was kind of weird, and asked if we could come back in a minute. So about 20 minutes later we went back and they had given our seats away!!!! Dusty was so MAD.....and after some choice words, getting on and off the plane 3 times, they finally figured it out! Like I said we had sooooo much fun, and Tryston is still talking about it!!! Thank you so much Pampa and Ma'maa, we LOVE you!!!

New York

This post is a little late, but I thought I needed an update! I had a great time in NY!!! It was fun to be with just the girls (and Doug) and no kids!! There was so much to do and see I really don't know what my favorite thing was!?? I would post some pictures but I lost my camera.....so you will have to check out Beth, Malea, and Brandee's Blogs to see pictures. Thanks again Doug and Beth for everything, Love ya and Miss ya!!

New York here we come!

I got the "okay" from my doctor today, and Delta doesn't have any pregnancy restrictions so...........................On Wednesday bright and early my two sister-in-laws and I are going to New York to see our missionary's (Doug and Beth my parents-in-law :) and be tourists! I am very excited to see them, but a little nervous about all the walking!! Malea is pregnant too, so we will just have to take it easy!

UPDATE!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post something..................I have been up north at BYU Education Week with my mom, and it was so much fun!!! I totally missed my boys, but it was nice to spend some time with my mom. I went to some really good classes this year on: The great plan of happiness, The personality and character of Jesus, The Temple, The second coming, parenting classes and of course marriage classes! I love it because I come home refreshed ready for life and new obstacles! (Thank you so much Jess, Beth, Brandee and Malea for helping with tryston!!!!!!!) Friday Dusty and Tryston drove up to SLC and we spent the night at my brother Zack's house. We had a BBQ and hung out with the kids. In the collage of pictures there are 4 of Stella with her mouth open, if you look close you will see that she has two rows of teeth like a shark!! Her baby teeth never fell out, so she has to get them pulled out. The other pics. are Kaya and Ethan.......On Saturday we drove up to Ogden and hung out with Dusty's cousin Sally her husband John, and their two kids Gabe and Nick. There are a couple pics of Tryston and Gabe. We had to stay until Monday because Dusty had a Dr. apt. We forgot to bring his MRI's so we drove down to Scipio and Braxtin met us there with the MRI's, then we drove back up to Provo for the apt..........It was kind of a stupid apt. because the doctor didn't really say anything that we didn't already know (dusty can do physical therapy and the shots or he can have surgery). Our past week in a nutshell!!
