We're back!

For no good reason I seem to have taken a long break from posting. So I will catch all of you up through pictures.

We hiked through Angel Island with some friends in January. It was a beautiful day! We headed out to San Francisco in the morning and took a ferry to the island. There is only one ferry back so we spent 6 glorious hours hiking around and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We were all pooped by the end of it though!

In February Jon had 2 glorious weeks off from work. We spent one of the weeks in San Diego and went to Sea world. We went to all the shows and you can see a star fish on Jon's hand. Shayla still talks about Shamu and the dolphins. All in all it was one of the best vacations we've ever gone on. Relaxing and just a good family time.

The Ricci's came to visit in February as well. We saw as much of them as we possibly could. Boy we sure miss them. I can't believe they moved away a year ago! We're counting down the days until we go see them in Michigan. Shay is always asking for Lola (still) They are such kindred spirits. And Carrie was almost like a sister to me. I don't know if you can tell but we really miss them.

We went to Happy Hollow with friends. Shayla and Maisie rode the lady bugs for almost a whole hour. I think the workers may have been a little sick of them... Either way they giggled and had a grand time. Happy Hollow is Shay's favorite place on earth.

Our ward had an  Easter Egg Hunt and Shay thought it was great! She was so happy that all these eggs on the ground had candy in them! She was in heaven. Especially since there were M&M's and Jelly beans which are some of her favorite candies.

We tried to be extra festive and we dyed eggs with friends. Shay thought it was great. Although there was a little bit of an altercation over who got to dye the first pink egg...

I also had Shay decorate her very own bunny cake. I'm pretty sure most of the candy ended up in her mouth... And this is her in her Easter dress. What a pretty girl.

We went to go visit some of my family in Arizona, and Shayla overcame her fear of Dogs. This is Misty. She LOVES Misty. She still asks for Misty. When Shay would wake up in the morning, instead of calling "Momma" she would yell, "Oh, Misty!"

I just love this picture.

We have been having a great time the last few months and I just got so far behind that I didn't feel like blogging. But here is our life in snippets, through pictures. I got caught up in time to go to Guatemala with Jon! Expect many pictures of that trip to follow.
