MISS HEMET 1965

This is “Miss Hemet 1965”. Do you see any resemblance? You guessed it, Miss Hemet is also my mother. I love this picture of her. It’s always so hard to imagine your parents as teenagers. My mother was only 16 in this picture. For those of you that are saying, Hemet? Where in the heck is that?! Hemet is a small town in Southern California. Hemet is where I was born as well as my mother.

Any resemblance here? This is my father’s high school senior picture at about 17 years of age. He grew up in Anaheim California. He met my mom after getting set up on a blind date by a friend. He fell for her pretty quick, he proposed two weeks later. They where married a month after that.

31 years later and still very much in love, here they are!

Our New Home!!

Ok, so it's offical, we have purchased a home! I love this house. It had everything I wanted, check out the double oven!! If you want to see more check out the virtual tour at: http://www.visualtour.com/applets/flashviewer2/viewer.asp?t=1241697&sk=24

GO LONGHORNS!

I just got back from Texas on a house hunting trip where I bought all my boys some souvinours. While I was there it was very apparent that we needed to become UT fans. And, NO, UT doesn't stand for Utah, it's The University of Texas, home of the Longhorns and land of the burnt orange. I have never seen anything like it, there is burnt orange everywhere! So we offically hung up our red and blue (UofU and BYU) and replaced it with orange. We might stick out in Cleveland wearing our Longhorn hats but in Austin Texas its a must!

Little Missionary

John had a lesson on missionary work today in Primary. The teacher made little name tags for all the kids, it was so cute! Steven and I explained to John that Daddy had a "real" missionary tag with his name on it, so when we got home we could not resist taking some photos. He sure is a hansome little missionary!

Goodbye CLEVELAND, TEXAS here we come!!

So, as you can see we are enjoying our 4th and final winter in Cleveland. We were snowed in all day yesterday, everything was shut down. However the sun did make an appearance today so I thought I would share the aftermath with you. I took these pictures today of our sad little toyota that was parked outside of our apartment through the storm. As you can see we will be doing a little digging later today. Or, I should say STEVEN will be doing all the digging. haha=)

So for those of you that don't know, it looks like we will be moving to Texas. We are VERY excited to be going to Texas. This was our first choice! Some might say, "why Texas?" I would say to them "WARMTH!"

"I'm Scared"

Gavin came into our room tonight and said, "I'm Scared, I want to sleep with Daddy" Ofcourse Steven could not say no to his cute little face. I jumped up and got the camera to catch this sweet moment.

BATH FUN

My kids love the bath as you can see. I took these pictures tonight at bath time before bed. They had fun posing for the camera.

Sorry its been so long to update my blog. Things have been crazy at my home lately. Steven, John, and Gavin have all been sick and I have been out of my mind taking care of everyone. When does mommy ever get to be taken care of? Don't answer that, I already know the answer. I am such a complainer, don't let me fool you, I am pretty spoiled =)
