Surprise Visit!

This past Sunday Cliff was planning on visiting us because he wanted to visit some friends that were in San Diego...and of course he thinks we're the coolest ever! So...as he was driving up to my house I walked out to show him where to park and then pops up CINDEL in the passenger seat!!! I was so excited!! They are sneeky sneeky! I had a great time with them, even though I didn't get much sleep:) I love it when my family comes to visit because even though we are only 1 hour away, it feels much further!

The 4th! (I know it was forever ago, but enjoy!)

Here are some pictures from the 4th of July. Our fave friends, Buddy and Sara, came from AZ to visit us. We had loads of fun!! Take a closer look at the second picture....lets just say Adam hates shopping!

Cliff's Temple night in Redlands

Last night we all drove to Redlands for Cliff's first temple trip. It was such a special night because all my siblings were there. It is a night we will never forget! I just can't believe our little Clifford is going on a mission!!

Disneyland!

Last weekend my family and I went to Disneyland! It was so much fun, but extremely HOT!! It was close to 100 degrees during the day, but boy was it fun! We went on so many rides and ate a lot of ice! My friend Megan was able to meet up with us that night and it was really fun to catch up. Sorry I don't have pictures of everyone...but enjoy!

Jacksonville, Florida!

The time has finally come for Cliff to go on a mission! We are all so excited for him to serve in Jacksonville, Florida, but we will miss him terribly!

We love Shamu!

The Stephenie Meyer Book Signing

There she is! Can you see her? About a month ago Callie and I went to the Stephenie Meyer book signing in San Diego. We don't like everyone knowing we are big fans of the Twilight series, but we are! We had a great time and it was so much fun getting to meet Stephenie Meyer!

A Seattle Wedding

Aaron and Michelle got married at the Seattle Temple! The landscaping was amazing! And for those of you who don't know, Aaron is Adam's identical twin.
Michelle and I right before the reception.
The twins. They are too cute together!
Adam trying to be a gangster...ha!

This is the castle where the reception was held. I cannot tell you how beautiful and elegant it was! It looked just like a castle inside too!

A weekend with the fam!

Borrego Springs Desert

Sorry it's been so long!

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged in forever! Adam and I went camping in Borrego Springs Desert last weekend and I have been meaning to post some pics, but because I married a "computer guy" it's hard to find the right cord in this house. I'm sure some of you know this, but Adam has drawers FULL of every computer cord in the world, which makes it difficult to find the right one...haha. The camping trip was really fun, and HOT. We went hiking to an oasis in the middle of the desert mountains, and Silo was no longer white; he was a gray/cream poodle for the weekend. We also went exploring in these mud caves; it was very cool. I will post the pictures this weekend!

My Art Work

Grandpa Maxwell

These are some photos of the last time I was with my Grandpa Maxwell about 2 months ago. The one thing that I will always remember about my Grandpa Maxwell was his testimony. He had the strongest testimony of anyone I have ever met. I remember talking to him for hours about the scriptures and the different meanings behind them. Even if I asked one simple question about something in the scriptures he would go off for a long time on that one question, haha, and that's why I loved talking to him. He was very engaged in our conversations, which let me know that he truly loved and cared about me. I can only wish that someday my knwoledge of this gospel is half of what my Grandpa knew. I miss you Grandpa.
