Our ride home

On the way back from the family reunion. We went around the other side of the Lake so that Blake could see Emerald Bay. Here are the pretty pictures.

Our Family Reunion

WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY REUNION!!!!!

So for the family reunion, Blake, Jennilyn, Brandonand I are were in charge of games. This is really fun. All of the Dad's and Grandpa's got Cheeze puffs all over their faces by their children and grandchildren. We all loved it. It also made a huge mess.

This was another one of the games. We split into groups and had a contest to see who could come up with the most creative costume out of paper bags and duct tape. All the gooups did a fabulous job. We've got Broc as Superman his famous line was " I'm small but mighty". Next we had Brooke our resident Queen, then there is Kassie and Nathaniel, as the Indian huntress and the deer. They had a lot of fun with that one. Last but not least we had Julie as the Carribean Princess.


On Friday, a few of us went to the hotel that some of the family stayed at. We had a lot of fun in Lake Tahoe. It was a beautiful day.




David and his family brought there Kyake, and everybody loved that. We actually had a dew people try the Karate Kid pose off of the front of the Kayake. Not very many people succeeded at this trick. As you can all see. Then we have found that we have quit a few beach babes. There's Broc our little indian on the beach. Here is Brooke our Baywatch beauty. Then there is Victoria, our little family model. We have such a beautiful family. We had a tragedy. As Austin was falling off the kayake, he hit a rock at the bottom of the lake and bruised his knee pretty good. But our injured soldier recovered fast and was up and playing quick.

Santa Cruz and Palo Alto

Blake, Krisit and I went to San Fransisco after a long weekend of laying on the beach of Santa Cruz. This was Blake's first time to San Fransisco, he was kind of disapppointed though because he didn't see as many gay people as he wanted. But we had a lot of fun walking around the pier and looking at all the great little shops. We had a lot of fun and hope to do it again soon.

Here Blake is posing for me after he had knee surgery. They gave him a new ACL. They took out two of his hamstring tendens and created a new ACL. According to Uncle Kevin and Jason, who were in there for the surgery, the doctor looked like a construction worker pounding Blake's bones with a hammer and screwing through his bones with a long drill. Gross. He is doind good now.

Here we are in Santa Cruz. It was such a beautiful day to be there. But like everybody knows, who has been to Santa Cruz, the water is still cold. Mainly all we did was walk around the Boardwalk and lay out on the beach.

Blake was very excited to find out that the movie "Lost Boys" was filmed here in Santa Cruz so we had to get a picture of the bridge for him.


Blake is swimming in the cold water. Kalijane is so funny. After Maci's baby blessing we all went over to Jennilyn's and Brad and Mike figured out that they could stick these game sticks through Kali's hair without her noticing. But when she saw her hair she was terrified. Also that day we all found out the Shannon is pregnant and is expecting in March. We are excited there are going to be so many little babies in our family this year.

Here is Blake building me a hole so that I can finally lay on my stomach. This hasn't happened in 6 months. It felt so great.
Here we are in the water. It was so so so so cold.

And this is the little seal that came up to say hi to everybody in the water. It was really fun to see it.

Tami and I

So here are some pictures of Tami and I pregnant. Tami is about 3 1/2 months and I am about 6 1/2 months. SO I am a little small for how far along I am. Tami is going to catch up to me soon. So just a little thing that is going on with Baby and me. I have R- blood and Blake has R+ blood so if baby and I have two different blood types it could be really bad for baby. But we caught it in time and I have to have a shot at my next appointment. So everything will be ok. Nothing to worry about. Anyways I hope that you enjoy the pictures.

Pregnant Picture

Here is a pictures that we have taken of me pregnant. In this picture I am about 5 months pregnant. I will soon get more pictures on here since I am now 6 1/2 months pregnant. As you can see I was helping a hole lot when we were cleaning the pool. Enjoy!!!!!

Sorry!!!!

It has been such a long time since we have posted anything on our blog. I am sorry. Well, lets starts with the news. We went to the doctor a month ago and we found out that we are having a baby GIRL!!!!! Our favorite name is Kennidi Nicole/Noelle. We are going to take a vote. Let me know which middle name you like better. Either Nicole or Noelle. Any ways . . . we are very excited. I have already started plans for painting. They said that the baby looks health and that everything is growing the way it should be. That was good to hear. We also got a new car. It is so cute. It is an '07 Dodge Caliber. It will fit us perfect for a long time. We are very happy. Everything is going well with us. I am at work right now so I really don;t have any pictures except for this one. It is me at work, I am just about 6 months pregnant. Can you believe that I am that far along already. I'll be having the baby before we even know it. So for right now, this is the only picture. I will soon get more pictures on here.

Our Family HOme Evening

So, this week for Family Home Evening. Kristi, the kids, Blake and I decided to go and explore Greenhorn. This was Blake's first time. Some of the pictures are of Blake and Kristi driving the cars. But a majority of them are of Austin and Brooke driving the cars. They did an amazing job. The went up hills and went through the river a few times. We all had a lot of fun. And as you can see through the pictures., Twix loves the outdoors.

Our Baby

So this is a picture of our baby. I know it is hard to see, but it is there. This was my first ultrasound. The baby in this picture is 22 mm long. We got to see it's little heart beating. So cute. According to this picture I am 10 weeks along. SO my due date is October 2. We are so excited.

Twix loves the snow

It has been snowing here for a few days, and Twix is in heaven. He loves the snow. Here is a pictures of him digging in the snow in the middle of an oak tree. We love him.

It came back Positive

Yeah I know that this is really old news, but yes I am pregnant. I am due the beginning of October. Blake and I moved into our house. We are renting a duplex. And it is just about 5 drive ways away from my parents house. It is really nice to be so close to all of my family. We absolutely love the house. It is 2 bedrooms and two baths. And perfect for us until we are able to but a house in a few years. Everything is going so well for us. I still don;t have a job, but I think that I will be getting one soon.

Home Sweet Home

Blake and I are finally back in Nevada City. We got here December 21. We drove 16 hours and we all did really well. Twix rode in the Neon with my Mom and I and he was awesome, he really just slept the whole time, and Blake drove the 16' moving truck. Right now we are living with my parents, just until we find a place. We are looking to find a 3-4 bedroom house in Nevada City. You ask why so big, well we are going to be roommates with Kristi, Austin and Brooke. We are excited. So, for Christmas Eve it was only Mom, Dad, Blake Me and Ashley. But then on Christmas Day, all the kids came over it was a zoo. Kids running everywhere with new toys flying through the air. Then we all just hung out for the next few days. On Friday the 28th we all went to the Sacramento Temple for Ashley to recieve her emdowments. It was wonderful to see her there with all of the family. Blake starts his new job on Tuesday January 2nd, I am still looking for a job, and Ashley gets married on the 11th. Everything is going so well. We are very excited to start our new life here in California.
