Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so fun up in the Bay Area with the fam. We had a great time and lots of great food. Here's a peek.

I love these kiddos, can't get enough of them!

He's a natural ; )

It was so exciting to find out where my little brother is going on his mission. I can't believe he's going, it was just yesterday that we learned to play our first computer game. Anyway Pittsburg watch out for Scott, Scotty, Treps. Love ya Scott I know you'll do good!

Pillow Project

So I am not very sewing savy but I'm halfway through this project and I'm very excited about it.

Here is a preview. I still don't know how I want to arrange them on the pillow, but if anyone has any ideas pass them along.

I either want to do a square or cirrcular pattern. Anyways this is my little project, its fun and even I can do it!

Fall is in The Air!

Fall

I love the fall, and even though the weather is always sunny down here you can still feel the slight changes that reflect the season.
Some resaons why I love the fall are:
I get to light apple and spice candles, I bake more, I read more and do crafty things, and I get to see Family!

In fact Greg's Parent's came into town Conference weekend and we gave them the grand tour of Irvine, (mostly we played tennis and ate, two things I love). We had such A great time, the beach was beautiful, and they are so sweet. Jayne even got me started on the project I'm undertaking. I going to make some pillows for my couch finally. I got this very cute idea from my sister-by -love Ashley. She's doing a quilt of these yoyo things (I don't know exaclty what to call them) and I loved it so I thought I would try a pillow since I have no skills in sewing department.
anyways I'll post pictures of it when I'm done. Anywawys thanks Ashley for teaching me how to do it and thanks Jayne for giving me the jump start.


Good shot for taking it ourselves! Here is the Beautiful Newport beach

Update

Well this girl has finally got herself a job, and though it is not in hospital adminitration I really like it and I'm learning a ton. I work for a personal injury law firm as a case manager assistant and its very interesting; we get a lot of intesting people too. I also call a ton of medical providers all day long so it feels like I'm very close to hopitals.
Anyway Labor day was great with Greg's fam, wish we had pictures, but oh yah I only had 25 minutes to pack!!We love family and can't wait to see them again! As always I wish we had more time with them.
I think that's about all for updates, that was boring huh? Well better boring and safe than eventful and disaterous.

Viva Las Vegas

Here is what we have been up too since the finish of my education, its been lots of fun!

Some June Fun!

Greg and I were able to spend a weekend in San Diego with the family, it was a June Birthday Bash! The girls all went to a tea party!

This wasn't just any kind of tea party, it was a princess Ariel tea party (she is my favorite princess by the way so I was thrilled) Hannah was so cute and such a good little princess. We had a blast, Ariel even sang, it was so fun to be like a kid again.

Then we celebrated the June birthday's including: Joshie, Seth, Tiffany and myself.

It was so cute Josh didn't like the string from the hat and it was in the way of him blowing out the candle.

We had yummy cupcakes from this place called cupcakes squared. They were rich and filling! As you can tell we loved them! It was a great weekend.

The 4th of July

We had a nice surprize this weekend when Greg got friday off and we were able to go to Vegas and meet up with some of our favorite people Tom and Ashley. This was my first time going and it was fun. It was a little too hot and a little dirty, but hey that's what Vegas is all about right? just kidding, we saw great hotels, got in some great shopping (sorry about the purse Ashley, maybe someday soon ; ) we even saw the Trevi fountain, amazing! I was glad we were able to be with family on the 4th.

The Brothers

Thanks for the fun Tom and Ashley, lets do it again soon!

And here are some pictures!

This is at the staples center with our good friends Jimmy and Ann-Marie!

Luke was so cute with his new baby sister. He was very tender and protective of her.

And here she is Grace, so Beautiful! She was so calm and very hungry

JUNE

Wow! Time has flown, I still have one final left, but then I'm done! I feel a little lost right now, I know I want a job right now, but I don't know what I want to do! Oh well I'll figure it out.
I was able to go to SF this past weekend and see my best friend Angela home from her mission and see my new beautiful baby niece. It was such a fun trip to see everyone and watch my cute little nephew Luke.

When I got home all I wanted to was sleep and relax on my birthday. My sweet husband sent me roses and the next day we went up for a romantic gettaway at the Four Seasons Hotel. He is too sweet!

And I finally watched Twilight on my birthday, and I thought it was good, the book is better, but I still liked the movie.
