I've Been Tagged Too Many Times

I've been tagged about 50 times so here I go.

1. My favorite time of year is the summer. Everything about it I love. The heat, the long days, the 4th of July, the crazines of HB and going swimming at the pool and beach with my family.

2. I love HB. As a San Clemente local I never thought I would hear those words coming from my mouth. I love my neighborhood and being able to walk to the beach, the park, the city gym, and main street. I love how on Tuesday nights there is a street fair with trains, farmers market, balloons, guys that dress up like pirates, and live music.

3. I love the river. I love hanging with my family, and also surfing behind the boat.


4. I love Surfing. There is nothing that can describe the feeling when you catch a good wave. It is so relaxing, and rejuvenating, and such a thrill all at the same time. I have been surfing for 15 years (longer than I haven't been surfing), and don't ever plan on stopping.

5. I love good music. Going to concerts is so much fun. The other night I saw Mike Ness (from social distortion), I was so close I could touch him. I also recently discovered the Agrolites, they are such an amazing reggae band. But I also love when we play music in our home. I am so glad that I married such a talented husband who shares my love of music. We love to play the guitar and to sing to our children.

6. I love my family. My husband is a stud. He is my best friend and I love doing everything with him. I could not have found a better man, I use to not believe in soul mates until I found him. My little boy is so much fun and is always cracking me up, He is such a tough little guy and I love taking him surfing. My baby girl is 15 and 1/2 pounds of perfection, she makes me feel so loved. I can't believe that she will be 1 in a couple of weeks (I think the best things come in small packages)!

Oh by the way, Amber, Shannan, Kayla, Laura, Annie and Jerrianne you've been tagged!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are up at the river for thanksgiving. Today we had so much fun playing in the water. Johnny went spearfishing and caught an 18 inch bass. It was so tasty all smothered in butter and spices. It tasted so good that he went out and caught another one for tomorrow's lunch.







I thought M looked cute in this picture. JB was in the middle of a yawning and smilig. He is so funny, I don't think he wants me to post this.

We also enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner. Uncle Billy deep fried a Turkey and Kelly made the best orange rolls. It was fun to be up here with all the cousins. CJ even got to see his cousin Lang and Uncle Aaron (my brother) and Aunt Marlene down at the Lang's house. This is a day of thanks and I have so much to be grateful for. I am thankful for my friends, family, the church and my Savior and His Sacrifice.


Johnny took Curren out one day to ride motorcycles.  They had such a blast.
We all got our family pictures done for our Christmas cards.
