Lake Powell

We took a trip to Lake Powell at the first of the summer. It was a little cold the first couple of days, but then it warmed up. We had a great time. This was Lily's first time there, but it reminded her a lot of the beach so she felt right at home.


Lily new she wasn't aloud in the lake so she found her own way of getting in the water. She found a bucket of water that we would rinse are feet off in before getting on the houseboat. She turned it into her own personal swimming pool.

We blew up a pool so the little ones could play. Lily loved playing with her cousins. The little boy is my nephew Mac. The little girl is my cousins daughter Elle. We miss being around family, but we are so grateful for vacations. Not having family around really makes you appreciate them. I'm so glad Lily has opportunities like this one to spend time with cousins and build friendships like I have with my relatives.


Lily found a love for chips this trip. She wasn't feeling the best. The only thing she would eat were chips. When she started feeling better it felt like everytime I turned around this is what I found.

Chad's Graduation

I am so proud of Chad. He graduated from Law School. It was a long, tough two years, but we did it. He worked so hard and it paid off. Chad I love you and I am so happy for you. Thank you for working so hard for our family. I know you are going to be a great Lawyer.


This is where Chad spent the past two years. Living in this cubicle. He spent some pretty long nights here. Do you miss it babe?

This was the day before he graduated. The school had a get together. Lily found a way to entertain herself. She found the perfect spot to sit and her her cookies.


These are Chad's Law buddies. Tom, Cory, and Ali. These guys saw Chad a lot more then I did. We sure are going to miss the friends that we made while going to school.

We had a Easter Party over at our friends house the Eav's. They have the best yard well the only one of our friends that has a yard in L.A. It was so fun getting together with friends and watching the kids play and have fun together. Lily caught on to the Easter Hunt pretty good. We had eggs everywhere. Lily was really excited to eat the candy, maybe to excited she missed the whole taking off the wrapper thing.

Is this A Girl

I can't remember where we were going, but this is how she is. She has to have a pretty on which is her bow, sometimes a necklace other times a bracelet depends on the day. I love it the only thing she doesn't like wearing is dresses. I can handle that because I don't like wearing them either. She thinks she's pretty hot stuff.

Fresh Start

So I know it has been a while. You know when you get behind you lose your motivation because you know how much you need to do. Well we have been pretty crazy. Chad finished school and we went on a vacation. When we got home from that we moved up to Carson City, NV. Chad is working for one of the Justices of the Nevada Supreme Court. It has been an adjustment moving from L.A. Plus leaving family and friends. Now that we are settled here I am going to be getting caught up on my blogging. I know a lot of you have stopped looking because nothing was ever new. I'm starting fresh so everyone can see how are little family is doing in Carson City.
