Lunch with the Lowry's!

While in Southern California, we met up with Sam, Mandy and their adorable boys, Luke and Dane. We went to BJ'S and had such a good time chatting and catching up. We are thrilled that they will be living in the Phoenix area now.....Mandy, I smell trouble!!!!

Laguna Beach with the BFF's!

A few weeks ago we were able to meet the McIntyre's in Laguna Beach for some fun. The best part is that we got to meet our beautiful niece Emma! We love her and I couldn't get enough of her cuteness! She is such a sweet little thing! It was also fun spending time with Jimmy, Kristen, Megan and Johnny. The boys had a blast at the beach together while Kristen and I put our cameras to use! My favorite thing about the bff's is that no matter what, Jimmy always puts Rob in good mood! Thanks for the great time and beautiful beach house guys!

We adore her!

Such a fun little girl!

Jimmy's cool shoes....

Good Things to Come

I love Elder Holland and I love this message. Its just the reminder I needed! I have moments when I freak out a little and things like this quickly make me feel better. Most of you know how eager we are to start our family without any luck just yet. We know that blessing will come. We are grateful for the many other blessings in our lives and this message reminds us, good things are to come!

Happy Birthday to my Mommy!

Today is my beautiful Mom's birthday! My Mom is one amazing woman. She is always doing all she can to help make our family "run smoothly"! I have learned so much from her and am finding that the older I get the more I am like her.....and I am ok with that! I miss being close to home and being able to spend so much time with her. On the flip side, whenever I go home, I get whatever I want! My Mom is always so sweet and makes sure that I have all the meals I want when I am home and of course desserts to go with! Happy birthday Mommasita, I LOVE YOU!!!

Back to life...

...Back to reality. We just returned from a fabulous week with my family in Monterey, CA. Every year we make this trip to the beach house, it is awesome. I have lots to catch up on and tons of pictures to sort through! Hopefully I can get it done before next week when I leave for girls camp. I am the camp director for our ward so it is keeping me busy!

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but

THE TRUTH!

I have had a lot of people asking me what happened and why I am making our blog private. The reason is not because some creepo stalker or anything fun like that, it is the simple fact that I want to be able to share more on our blog. I mostly just post of the fun things we are up to and thats about it. I want to be able to share some other things too that are more personal and didn't want to bore people with it! After thinking about it more, I figure if people don't want to read it they don't have to! If you are reading our blog, most likely you're our friend! So, there you have it, NO GOING PRIVATE, but be prepared to hear all the juicy details of our oh so interesting life, NOT, we're pretty boring!!!! So, thanks for sending me your emails and sorry for the annoyance! Happy Sunday!

Fun in Yuma!

We love lots of things about living in Yuma and one is our awesome friends. Two of our good friends took some pictures of us enjoying the dunes here and the awesome sunsets!

P.S. STILL GOING PRIVATE! I'm just slow! Send me your emails!

This is Colin, he is a great friend and....He is available ladies!

Love this shot Colin got!

This is a fun one Ben got!
