Happy Birthday Nana!

Friday November 13th!

We picked up some dinner and met the gang at the Ranch for a little party for our Nana!

We love her so much!  She didn't know what was happening, but she sure loves her family and all the attention she got!

 

Cali moves to Utah!

 It was a rough day before she left.  So many goodbyes.  I was an emotional wreck trying not to think about her leaving.  She got one last group hug from her girls-

And she told her brothers goodbye the night before-

At 6:30 AM on Friday 11/6, we loaded up the Kia and drove straight through to Provo.

We arrived around 6:30 PM and here she is collecting her keys for her apt.-

We were so tired from the drive, but we got her bed all made up and then Jeremy and I went to crash out at our hotel and left her in her new home!

On Saturday, we picked her up and did some exploring of her new home!  We went for a nice walk at Cayon View Park and took in the foliage!

We took  her grocery shopping, got her some supplies, went to lunch and finished organizing her room.  Sarah, Isaac and Eli also moved to Utah this weekend!  So went over that afternoon and helped them a little bit.  I'm so glad they will be close by!

That night, Trini and Henrique and the kids drove down and met us for dinner!  It was so great to see them!

Cali did not own a warm coat and needed new boots.  We were able to get her all bundeled up!  She is ready for Utah!  Escpecially since it started snowing while were there!

Sunday morning, Jeremy and I had to fly back home.  It was a little hard telling our little girl goodbye...

But we are leaving her in good hands-

It was so hard to leave her, but I am also so excited for her to have this experience!

Downtown Disney Date Night

 Cali was set to move to Utah on Friday Nov 6th.  I wanted to have one special date night with her before she left.  Disneyland is still closed.  But Downtown Disney is open, kind of.  Some of the shops and Restaurants are open.  So on Tuesday, the 3rd, we went up and had ourselves a fun night of food, shopping and a little bit of Disney Magic.  First stop, The World of Disney Store-

Then we checked out the new backstage lot store-

We stopped and said hello and we miss you to Disneyland-

Cali got her caramel apple and some other sweet treats-

And it just felt so good to be there.  It also felt sad and empty.  We miss Disneyland!

This beautiful mural is up!  A sweet tribute to Chadwick Boseman.-

We had a delicious dinner at La Brea Bakery & got a free cookie!

We had such a fun night and I am so glad we got to do one last thing before she left me.  I will miss our dates so much!

Beach Therapy & BFF Beach Day

 Tash came down to help with the wedding.  I seriously do not know what I would have done without her.  She made everything happen!  She was the best wedding supervisor and I am just so grateful for her and that she was able to be here.

On Monday, 11/2, I took the day off and spent the day with her at the beach.  We had breakfast at the Harbor and then just laid on the beach all day!  It was so warm and so nice!

Becky. Meish, and Mindy all came down in the afternoon to join us.

Kenzee's first beach day!

I love these women with all of my heart!  It was such a great day!  And I just feel so blessed to know them and have them in my life!

Halloween 2020

 After we got everything cleaned up from the wedding.  We went home and rested for a bit, then headed to Ben & Meish's for some Halloween fun with our friends and family.  I was so tired and just sat on the couch in the driveway all night.  But we all had so much fun being together!

Here is our "Old Man Ghost" and "Simon" the chipmunk-

I found "Older"!

Alvin and Simon-

The Bronson crew-

The Wilson crew-

It was a beautilful night and it capped off an amazing weekend wonderfully!

Gavin and Kristin get married!

 October 31, 2020

I did not sleep a wink!  So many things running through my head.  I was up at 6:00 AM and ran to the store and picked up some last minute items and went and unlocked the gate at the barn for the flower lady.  I helped set up some things and then ran home around 8:30 to get ready.  Here's me and my boy just before we left for his wedding!

Everything turned out beautifully!

Guests started arriving around 9:00 AM.  Kristin showed up in her beautiful dress at around 9:45.  The ceremony went smoothly and Larry Wilson officiated.  There are so many pictures of everything, but I just picked out a few of my favorites to post.  Plus, blogger is now a nightmare to post pics in the order I want.  But everything went so perfect and Gavin and Kristin were so happy.  

It was hard to dance with my bug, but I loved it.  We danced to our song, "You'll be in my Heart" from Tarzan.

They loved their cake!

And bloddy cupcakes!

All of my kiddos!

I seriously can't believe that Gavin is married!  But I am so glad that these 2 found each other.  They really had the best day and that makes me so happy!  We are happy that our family is growing and can't wait to see what lies ahead!
