Well we just had our trip to California where we enjoyed a wonderful vacation. It started out at 5:00am on Thursday the 1st. We won our trip on the radio. We got 4 3-day park hopper passes and 2 nights at the Pier Hotel, right next to Disneyland. We decided to take Kyle and Callie (Brett's brother and sister) with us. We had a blast. Here are some of the pictures.
We left in the snow in our little plane and arrived in beautiful, blue sky weather in CA. We were a little scared to be on such a small plane.
Our free hotel.Hollywood. This is in California Adventure.
Getting ready for another day at Disneyland.One of the dinky, but fun rides. You have to hit them all if you are there for 3 days.
A Bug's Life. I think we were trying to make bug faces...?
Don't know what Brett was doing. He made faces at every picture we took.
After 3 days at Disneyland we had a day break and spent time with Brett's cousin and her family. We went to church and just relaxed from all the rides, lines, lack of sleep, and sun. On Monday we went to Six Flags, Magic Mountain. It was so crazy there because longest we had to wait in line was 5 minutes and that's only because we wanted the front seats. There was hardly anybody there. We did manage to see a girl a used to work with, so that was fun. We realized that lines are a little bit of a blessing because it lets your stomach settle a little. By the end of the day we were done with roller coasters for a while.
This is the Superman ride it goes from 0 to 85 miles per hour in 6 seconds. It was crazy fun.
On Tuesday we went to the see the beautiful San Diego Temple. Doesn't Brett look buff? Gotta love how pictures can be so beceiving depending on the angle you take them at. Haha, it's funny ok.
After the temple we went to the beautiful beach. Yes, that is Brett is a sweatshirt. It was cold, windy and cloudy. Kyle was the only one crazy enough to go in the water.
Saying good bye at the airport the following day. Thank you Keri and family for everything you did. They dropped off a car at Disneyland for us, let us borrow it for the time we were there, and dropped us off at the airport. That's a lot when gas is $3.89 a gallon. They also let us sleep there and everything that comes with that. It's always a party with them. We watched her son, Thomas, a freshman, hit a home run in a varsity baseball game. They were the perfect hosts, now we just want to move down there.
To top it all off, we got a picture with Tinker Bell in our hands. Kyle even has her on his shoulders too. How did he get such a hottie?
Like always, it's nice to be home. We missed Jules and the more I was away from her, the more baby hungry I got. Good thing that ended once I had her in my arms again. She's the only baby I need for right now. We really appreciate my sister-in-law Kellie for watching her while we were gone. We never worried about her once. Except the fear that she was going to start walking while we were gone. Luckily, she's still too affraid to walk on her own.
Our lives got flipped a little quicker than we expected once we got home too. My job here at the apartment complex wasn't what we thought it was this whole time. I went from working 16 hours a week to finding out I was supposed to be working 30 hours a week. We were extremely blessed the past 6 months that we have been here but now that is going to change. I just can't handle being away from Jules for 30 hours a week. We are going to be moving here a lot sooner than we planned but it's all for the better. Brett will hopefully be finding a job here soon and then we're out. It was nice while it lasted but I guess it's time to move on. I just want to play mom.

I'm so glad that you had a fun trip. Who watched Jules while you were at Disneyland?
Send me an email, we need to get together for scrapbooking. Well, maybe we can wait until you are done with the 30 hours a week :)
We miss you guys!!! Come back!!! What a fun time! You guys are welcome anytime. You are great company. Next time we want Jules to come too. We are still waiting for Ross and Tamzon to come to. Good luck on the job hunt. You could always come to Temecula!!! YEah!!
It looks like you guys had a blast in California! (Jealous) :D
Lauri and Perry are looking to rent out their basement apartment. I don't know if it's something you'd be interested in or not. It's a new home, anyhow, let me know if you want details. That stinks they want you to work that much, they must be crazy.
It looks like you had a great time - it would have been more fun with me riding with you...but thanks for shouting my name on all of the fun rides!
