Back in SD

We made it safe and sound back to San Diego. The next few days have some major things going on and just as soon as I can, i will let everyone know. For now... and until I back up my computer and wipe out the over 7000 photos in just the last 6 months, the blog is on break for a few days. Be sure to scroll down nd back a page or two and enjoy our 2 week trip to Utah and papa winning the championship before that. Its been an amazing month or March, with Disneyland, winning a Championship and a 2 weeks family vacation. I do love my life right now, even if its not all scripted out, thats what makes it fun!!!! Dont be shy and say hi so I know you stopped by!!!

Good Bye Utah

The time has come to say goodbye to Moab and Salt Lake City, the state of Utah all together. Our 2 weeks here have been very memorable and fun and a great reminder of how to enjoy life and family each and every day. From kayaking in the Colorado River to decorating cookies with 8 kids. But its time to move on. Time to get back to San Diego for some very important appointments and hopefully life changing. Lots going on even if it involves goodbyes some of the times.

VEGAS!!!!


Driving through Vegas last night, rocking out on our family road trip

Childrens Museum

I really enjoyed my time with my family at the childrens museum today. It was nice to do something touristy while in SLC and with my family at the same time. You know I love to explore all the cities I always visit so this was a big 2 for 1 and papa actually got to come with us, which is rare but always more fun. The kid shad a blast, this time we had 8 kids and with 6 adults, we kept pretty good track of them. We will be leaving Utah tonight and going back to San Diego for a few days maybe even a few weeks. So this was a great way to end our trip.

Just a video of us putting stuff in the locker, but Linny is the real star here

More SLC fun

More visits and more fun times with all our cousins. There were actually even more visits, but I didnt get photos of them all. Sometimes I enjoy just sitting and visiting with friends and family while the kids run around and entertain themselves, each other and us, lol! So many people to see and so little time, but we did get some time in with loved ones, not everyone of course but thankfully some.

Back to Tai's house, papa with Xavier

I walked out of the room and came back to see the Jazz fans trying to recruit my Laker born son. They got close and it is a cute picture, but it didnt last long!
