Easter 2012

First we went to Church with the family and had a great Sharing Time in Primary about all the symbolisms of the Resurrection...The kids would find an egg and open it to find an item in it...We would talk about what it represented from the Easter Story.

Then we headed to Simi Valley for the day to have lunch and an egg hunt with my parents and then dinner with Josh's family and swimming...

Laker Game

In March, Josh went to a Laker game with his Dad, and brothers Jesse, Jason and Jared

They bought 4 tickets five rows back from the court plus one ticket right behind Jack Nicholson! hahaha...They all took turns throughout the game in the hot seat! Funny guys!

Swimming

Perks to living at Grandma Miles house this past summer was Swimming all the time!! ;)

Lexi with cousin Maya

Dalen, Deveon and Lexi are all now swimmers...didn't think that was ever going to happen for any of them but I guess when you have a pool it is true, you do learn to swim much faster!

Lily with cousin Kenzie

October 2011

Love these guys...Josh and I went with a couple of Josh's bros, Jared and Jesse.

Blink hadn't come out with anything in like 10 yesars or so and they just got back together as a band and came out with a new album so at the concert they played all their old stuff and a few new ones. It was super fun! Felt like High School! ;)

Best Buds

The boys ran a 5K together and Josh and I ran the 10K in July. This race was part of my half marathon training.

Happy Fourth of July ;)

Ran my first Half Marathon 7-4-11

earned my sticker on my car {thanks Tami}

This was the day I went to meet Josh at the Temple and when I got there he called to tell me he had gotten in a car accident. He was fine but needed to go home and deal with all the accident stuff so I still went to the temple. It was the first time I had ever gone to the temple by myself...When I came out I thought it might be my last time I would ever go to the Sacramento Temple so I snapped a picture of it with my phone...The Temple makes me happy ;) I will miss our temple trips here especially with my BF Tami :(

More Swimming {at Mackenzies}

'The Blue Park'

Swingin High :0)

This park was fun because our kids would play 'Terminator' with Josh. He would wear his sunglasses and walk around picking up the kids and bringing them to the base. They would then try to sneak out of the base and Josh would walk around trying to re~capture them. {We only played this if there was no one else at the park lol}

Even the Stoeckle kids new this game
