California Love! Part one

This past week Das had a two day training in San Diego.  Tristan had just gone off track, so we thought it would be fun to tag along.  We rented a minivan Saturday afternoon after the boys soccer game, and headed to St. George for the night.  We pulled into my parents condo around 10 and crashed.  Das woke us all up at 7:00 so we could get to San Diego at a decent time. 

The boys climbed back in the car, and fell right back asleep for a good part of the drive.  We really enjoyed the van.  Very spacious and cozy.  I love the bucket seats.  It was easy for me to climb through my seats to have access to the kids.  Logan was an angel the whole trip.  It was nice too that he could see the boys from his car seat.  Still probably wont be purchasing a minivan, but gotta have the bucket seats!

                         

When we got to the hotel, we unpacked and showered while Das took a little nap.  Then we went out for dinner and just relaxed.

We took a little walk around the bay area to check out places the boys and I could go during the day while Das was working. 

Monday we threw on our suits and headed to Coronado Beach.  Such a beautiful beach.  The sun was out, but it was windy.  We played for a couple of hours, but felt it was to cold for Logan. 

So we headed back to the hotel to go sit by the pool.

                                

The waves at this beach were so small compared to the beach we went to on Friday.  I just wish it had been a little warmer.  The navy base is located real close to Coronado.  These Navy Seals were taking a run.  It was about a mile long of them.  And jets kept flying over our heads really low.  It was quite neat to see.

This is Das in 10 years. lol  The first few days of our trip were really relaxing and nice.  The next two were a little dull since Das was working and it was rainy.  But the end of the trip was so much fun.  We took so many pictures, I am going to have to break it up.

I love being a Mom!

Just a few random things that have happened the last few months.
Ashton had to have his front tooth fixed again.  So I took both
boys into the dentist for cleanings.

This is the neatest pediatric dentist office.  The
walls are painted with all sorts of jungle animals.

They have a small room painted to look like they
are under the sea.  And they have several tvs to play
video games.  There is a tv in the waiting room, and
one above each chair for the kids to watch while they
are gettng their teeth done.

We recently joined Life Time Fitness.  This place is
amazing.  The daycare is top notch and they have so many
wonderful things to do for the children.

The boys love the rock climbing room.  We had to
lie about Ashton's age.  you have to be 5....which he
will be next month.  Tristan can climb all the way
to the top.  Ashton is getting close as well.

We are putting the boys in swim lessons there as
well.  Das purchased a couple of sessions with a personal trainer
for me for Mothers Day.  I am nervous but excited!  Thanks sweetie
for the best gift!

This past Friday my niece Melissa needed a
preschooler to come to her school for an hour.
Ashton was so excited and had such a great time.

Tristan had crazy hair day for his school.

Logan is such a good baby.  He has so much
personality and loves his big brothers.

While Ashton was with Melissa, Tristan, Logan, and I
went to Burger King for breakfast.  Tristan sure can eat.
He had half of an egg mcmuffin, several french toast bites,
a couple of mini cinibuns, and a bag of hashbrowns.  Yeah, we like
to have our boys eat healthy. lol

The baby chicks the Easter Bunny brought the
boys are getting huge.  Yesterday we put them in
the back yard to roam.  Everytime we came out there,
they would come running up to us.  When we
brought them back inside, they would not stop chirping
so Das had to put them in the garage.  We need to build
them a chicken coop.

The boys had soccer Saturday.  Afterwards, my brother's triplets
came over to play.  This is Paxton and Ashton digging for worms. All
of the boys did so good at their first soccer game.  I'm sad
we will be missing two games due to the fact we will be in California.

 

Ashton made me a cute flower arrangement at
preschool for my Mothers Day present.  Tristan made
me a scrapbook filled with pictures he drew.  They were
both so excited to give them to me.  I loved their gifts.

Logan does so well on his tummy considering
I don't do tummy time a whole lot.  And he is
getting so huge.  My girlfriend Amy stopped by
yesterday with her little girl Adyson who is 4 months
older than Logan, and Logan is bigger than she is.  Amy
brought me my favorite chocolate strawberries for
Mothers Day.  Thanks Amy for keeping me fat. lol
They were delicious!  It has been such a
wonderful day!  I received a cd with some church hymns
from the ward, Das let me take a two hour nap after church,
and now he is cleaning the kitchen.:)  And best of all....we
met with the bishop to finish up preparation for our
sealing on the third of June.  I am the luckiest Mom
in the world.  With the best husband, and greatest boys ever.  I also
want to give a shout out to my wonderful Mom who is
such an inspiration to me.  She is my best friend.  Also to
my mother in law who I have loved getting to know better.
She raised such a wonderful son, and for that I am grateful to
her.  Last, to my beautiful sisters and sister in laws.  You all are
wonderful mothers and such wonderful examples of the
type of mother I want to be.  I hope you all had as wonderful
of a Mothers Day as I did!

2 YEARS!!!

Das and I celebrated our 2nd year anniversary on Monday.  I really can't believe he has put up with me for that long.  It has been the best two years of my life.  Das proposed to me on a cruise we took to the Bahamas.  We both had never been on a cruise, or to sand clear blue water beaches.  He chose the perfect place to do it.  Previously, Das had spent 3 weeks in England for his job.  He came home for a day, and we were off to Miami where we spent a night in Key West before we left on the cruise.  Das and I will be going there this July to celebrate our 2nd anniversary.  Key West is a blast, if you ever get the chance to go.

These were our announcements.  My sister in law Keli took the pictures in our neighbors back yard.  They turned out so cute!

Our wedding day!  I was so sad that it had rained, but it still was such a wonderful day. 

This past year we haven't been able to travel as much as we did our first year of marriage....since I was pregnant.  But we were able to go to Mexico, New York, San Diego, Arizona, the cabin, the condo in St. George, Colorado.  Many more things happened to us this past year.  The big two being Logan, and going through the temple.  What two wonderful experiences.  I couldn't have chosen a better husband. 

And in June, we will be getting sealed as a family in the Oquirrh Temple.  Tristan and Ashton included.  I am so thankful for Das and for what a wonderful husband and father he has been.  He is my best friend, my everything!  And I am looking forward to many more anniversaries to come!

I Love You Das!

Hip Hop A Hippity Hop Hop

Our Easter festivities started early Saturday morning.  Our friends Joe and Kelly told us about an Easter egg hunt at a park in Draper.  We woke up early and headed there.  It was crazy how many people were there. 

They had sections for each age group.  Das told the boys to run straight to the middle to get more eggs.  (Of course they didn't listen) I wasn't expecting the parents to run with the kids.  So as soon as the buzzer went off, I instantly lost sight of the boys.  I got pretty nervous.  Luckily I found them.

The Easter egg hunt took a whole 10 seconds.  It took us longer to get out of the parking lot. 

Mr. Easter Bunny Das.Tristan made this hat at school. The teeth are homegrown. lol 

Das headed over to IFA that afternoon to pick up stuff for our garden.  And looky what the Easter Bunny showed up with . . . baby chicks.

And then later that night we dyed Easter eggs, and then sent the boys to bed.  

 

The boys were up bright and early Sunday morning to search for eggs.  The Easter Bunny over did it this year. 

 

Usually on Easter we go to my parents house.  But they are in China right now, so we invited Das's family to our house.  Ratha and Racie had plans already to go to her mother's home.  But they stopped by on their way to visit.  Cutest little boys ever. I can't tell who is bigger.  They are both growing so big!

We really enjoyed being with family and celebrating the true meaning of Easter and His resurrection.  We are so thankful to Christ and His sacrifice for us.
