The reunion

The Family and some of Luke's best friends and their families!


Grandparents and ALL of their grandkids!

someone was always throwing a fit,
made for much laughter for the parents!!

Thanksgiving Point

all the cousins!

Slippin' Sliding at the Escobars!!

We had such a great time with my family! I MISS them all so much and we can't wait to see them again! This was the first time all the grandkids have met each other! They were instant friends and Ella and Lydia just ate Baby Charlie right up! Logan was also glad to finally have another boy in the mix! We owe a lot to the Escobars for holding just about everyone at their house and they sure have the party house! The only bad thing about the reunion was that we missed Erin and Karl and wish they could have come, we love you guys!! Thanks mom and dad for making it all possible, we love you!!

I'm HERE!!!!

{ my family minus Karl + Erin}

Oh my goodness, I really need to update this blog of mine!! My mom stayed with us before the whole fam came out to Utah and we were able to do so much (that's for another post)! I promise I will post some pictures in the next few days!!

10 glorious months...

We have had this bundle of joy!

isn't he darling?

Charlie is crawling, scooting, walking with Mommy and Daddy's help and everything else you can imagine a 10 month old doing!

He loves jabbering and talking in his own little language.

He loves playing with other kids, especially his cousin Azaleia!

He LOVES his daddy and thinks he is the funniest person in the world!

Baby Charlie is such a fun little guy and he is still that sweet little boy we took home from the hospital! I love my baby Char Char!

beach trip

We wanted to go to the beach while we were down in California so we packed up the car and headed to Balboa. We actually headed to the Balboa Pier where Charlie and I took our engagements! Ahhh, it was a stroll down memory lane for us. We stopped at the cutest corndog stand named Jane's Corndogs & Lemonade! We shared a meal while slurping on our lemonade. I highly recommend going there, completely original and darling! Baby Charlie napped the majority of the time which was nice for us lovebirds. We had a great time strolling down the pier and wishing our little one didn't have an ear infection so we could have gone swimming. oh well, next time I guess!

lunch with the girls & baby Char

My sister Katie, Jessica, me and baby visited my Aunt Karin at work the other day. We brought some food from Miguel's Jr. and ate and talked while lounging in her office! My aunt is so fun to be around and always makes me laugh so hard!! She's so full of life and energy and I love to listen to her talk and talk!! very entertaining!!

Grandma D and Charlie

My little boy loves his Grandma D. We've been here in California for a couple of days now and I LOVE it! Baby Charlie is getting plenty of attention and loving every minute with his grandma!

Katie opened for Jon Schmidt

My baby sister is AMAZING! She opened for Jon Schmidt last weekend and did such a great job. The event was held at the Sandy amphitheater and it was such a gorgeous night with even better music! We were able to see the Huebsch family while there and it was fun catching up with them.

We know Katie's demographic... TWEENS!!! She was the new Hannah Montana to them and they just ate her all up. After she performed, Jon's Schmidt's daughter and her friends came running to Katie asking for her autograph and such. They wanted to know all about her. It was so cute to see them completely entranced with my sister! It was such a wonderful concert and even better to see my little sister living her dream!
