Tessa and Hudson come to stay with Auntie!

I was able to take a few days off and have my niece and nephew over. I miss having their cuteness around our apartment. Some of our activities included: playing with play dough, making green waffles, playing in the park, watching movies and jumping on the love sac. It doesn't get much better than that!

Sweet Baby Felicity

Please meet baby Felicity. She is my newest Niece She is SOOOO cute and I love her! We got to meet her before she was even 24 hours old and it made me so excited to be a mommy.

Date Night

In between working and moving, Terrill and I managed to sneak away for a fun date night in Santa Cruz. I honestly LOVE it there and so wish we could live there, but for now we will just visit instead. The weather was beautiful. We had a nice dinner on the wharf and then walked over to the beach to see the free concerts on the beach at the Boardwalk. I am lucky to have such a wonderful guy to share these fun experiences with!!

Beautiful!

Handsome

23 weeks and counting!

I took this picture of Terrill to capture the crazies sitting next to us. Let's just say they were very entertaining!

Utah and Tahoe

On our way back to California we stopped in Utah to see my mom and brother. We had a great time, BBQing, shopping, morning run/walks and spending time with my fam! We stayed for about 4 days and then were on our way to beautiful Tahoe to see the Wolf's. We spent time with family, eating yummy food, being at the lake, paddle boarding and playing with Kayla. It was awesome.

We made it!!!

Move Back to California - Day 2 & 3

The second day of traveling was mostly driving but Terrill found a really delicious Mongolian BBQ. So we stopped and took a break from driving. We drove from Beckley, WV to Independence, MO.

This is a pictures of the bed and breakfast that we stayed at in Independence.

On the 3rd day we met up with my Aunt and Uncle who live(d) in Liberty which is close to Independence. We went to Sacrament Meeting w/ them and then drove over to the Liberty Jail. We got a tour with one of the sister missionaries there and it was an incredible experience to hear what the Prophet had to endure.

Liberty Jail

Far West

After visiting Liberty Jail we went out to Lunch with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins and then headed out to Far West and Adam Ondi Ahman. It was beautiful, but we got a late start on our drive to Cheyenne, WY. On the way to Cheyenne we experienced, Rain, Flooding and a spectacular lightening storm! It was amazing. To make a long story short we didn't make it to Cheyenne because it got so late so we spent the night in North Platte, NE.

Move Back to California - Day 1

We spent most of the day driving but was able to make a stop for about 4 hours at Monticello. It was so much fun! We loved it and I learned so much about our 3rd president. He was an inventor and it was very evident when walking around his home that he was very efficient for his day and ran a tight household. The pictures below were all taken on the grounds as they would not permit photo's inside the house.
