Girls Weekend!

Every year all the girls on my Dad's side get together for a weekend in Tuacahn. We see a play, shop, eat lots of food, talk and just hang out. It is so much fun. I look forward to it every year, there is about 20-25 of us that go. This year we went and saw Cinderella. It was so cute. It was so much fun to see everyone. I don't get to see anyone that often since I live so far away. I drove to Vegas Thursday night and then drove with Jodi and Auntie Norma Jean Friday morning. We ate dinner at Tuacahn before the play. Then on Saturday we went shopping at the factory stores, then we all went to the Olive Garden for dinner. We left Sunday morning to Vegas, then I hopped in my car and drove back to Cali. The top picture is of Auntie LaVada, Jamie, Auntie Norma Jean, Launie, LaRae, Misty, Me, Jodi and Kristy. The middle one is of Ashli Johnson, Baby Wyatt Johnson, Baby Wyatt Taylor and Becky Taylor. The bottom one is my cousin Jamie, Me, and my sister Jodi. I love my fam and am so glad that we can get together like this every year and have so much fun!

BYU Football Weekend

So I talked some of the Johnson Family into visiting us so they could see BYU play UCLA at the Rose Bowl Stadium. So Terry, Tim, Kyle from Utah, Doug, Payden, and Brock from Vegas came. We spent Friday evening at the beach and the kids had a blast. Went to a great Mexican place for dinner, and hit up the late show of Transformers. Sweet movie by the way if you haven't seen it. Saturday the boys went back to the beach with Doug and the rest of us went shopping at the mall and an antique shop. We then left for the big game, made just in time thanks to Doug's very safe and courteous driving. The game was fun and BYU made a late push but didn't quite win. We had a great time and were really glad everyone came to visit. Hope everyone else can come sometime soon.

Quick Utah Trip

We made a quick Trip to Utah, left Friday after work and got to Utah at 3 am Saturday. Saturday we just chilled. Tyler drove with us, he had a wedding to go to. We were able to see Spencer, Criscell, Ryan, Amber, Spenny and Nellie. Of course we went to Cafe Rio. On Sunday we had Cohen's Baby Blessing and it was really nice. It was really fun to see everyone even if it was a quick trip.

Natalie Homer's Wedding

I went to a Natalie's Homer's wedding on August 17. She was married to Bretton Wall. It was so much fun seeing friends that I haven't seen since high school. I was able to see some of my guy friends that went on missions and are home now. It was a lot of fun. My mom was in Vegas babysitting grandkids, so I got to spend the weekend with me Daddy! We went to breakfast and watched High School Musical 2 two times! He just loved it. Timmy and Ashli came to my parents house Saturday night. I was able to see my cute new nephew. He is so big now. It is crazy how big he has grown since the last time I saw him. It was fun spending the weekend with fam and friends.

Work Party to Celebrate Passing Survey

We Passed Survey so we threw a little party at work. We had a taco maker that came and made amazing tacos, we played a bunch of games and had prizes. The sumo wrestling was a blast, here are some pics. I'm going to try to post a video link of Tyler and I. Tyler is in the blue and I am in the red, imagine that.

Don't I look good?

Dana Point

We went down to Aunt Nay's house this weekend down in Laguna Niguel. I hadn't met her yet and briefly at our wedding I met some of her kids. Aunt Arlene and some of her kids came too. I will try to remember names if I can..... we had Renee, Amy, Emily, Joe, Arlene, David, John, Sean, Ashley, and their baby, Gina, Jason and kids, Kallen, Brian, and kids. I think I got most of the names, if I am wrong Jackie can fix it. We went to a park down by the beach in Dana Point and ate some good food. It was a lot of fun to get to know more of the family. Jackie and I also went to the temple this weekend to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Los Angeles Temple being open. It was very spiritual and they had a special session in the Solemn Assembly room which was a new experience. Todd Christofferson from the Quorom of the Seventy showed up unexpectedly. It was a great experience.

Babysitting

So it has been a couple of busy weeks since I last posted. At work we had our annual State Survey performed by the State of California. There was three people here that walked around our building for five days trying to find any mistakes that they could in our facility. It made for a hectic week around the building. They weren't checking any of my work, it was mainly just nursing, and kitchen stuff but it made for a crazy week.

Morgan fast asleep in the Love Sac!!!!!

Last week we got a call from Jackie's sister asking if we could watch four of their kids for a week. We said sure, so we had Madison, Brock, Haley, and Morgan from Las Vegas for a whole week. I hope they didn't get too bored being at our apartment for week. We tried to keep them entertained. Our friend Nellie helped us out for the first two days. She was a big help. Jackie left work early the other days. We took them to the beach, different pools, to Santa Barbara, to couple of movies, to the zoo. It was a lot of fun but and a lot of work. I'm sure not ready for four kids yet.....

The beach is always a fun place to go. The water is a little too cold for me, but the kids sure liked it.

The last pics are of us up in Santa Barbara, one of our favorite places.

Brock, Morgan, Madison, Haley, and my beautiful wife Jackie.
