Update

Well life has been crazy busy for us the last few months and looks like that will continue for the next few months! In my last post I wrote that we were heading to Utah for Wyatt's Baptism! So I will start with that!
For labor day weekend we drove to Utah with my parents. It took most of the day on Friday to get up there. We had fun on our road trip though! I got pulled over about 2 miles from my in-laws house on the freeway! But was lucky to be given only a warning to not speed! We got up on Saturday and had a relaxing morning and then headed to the baptism in the afternoon! The baptism was perfect! It was such a special event in all our lives but mostly for Shane and Wyatt. I feel so lucky to have a husband that honors his priesthood and was able to use his priesthood to baptize Wyatt!
After the baptism Wyatt's mom had a nice party for him at the church. It was so nice for Wyatt to have us celebrate this special day for him! When that ended we were able to go back to Gary and Diane's and spend some time with Wyatt! We watched the BYU football game and just had fun as a family!
On Sunday we were able to be together again with the family and attend our new nephew Easton's blessing. Afterwards we went back to Gary and Diane's for a early lunch and then headed out of town! We drove Sunday night to St. George and then we drove back to California the next day! It was a fast weekend but we sure enjoyed the time we were able to spend with family and friends and also to share in Wyatt's special day! Shane and I are so proud of him for his decision to be baptized and follow Christ's example! He is a great young man and I am proud to have him as my step son!!
Since the baptism we have been busy here in California! It seems like every weekend we have a family event or plans! In September we had a family get together and we also have my nephew Corbin's 2nd birthday party! We bought a new car! We got a BMW 325 e. It is used but it will hopefully be a good car for Shane! We were able to go to an Angel's baseball game, that was so fun! I am a huge baseball fan and it is so fun to actually go to the game!
For the month of October-last night we had a big temple event for our stake at the Redlands Temple. It has been in the works for the last few months. We were as a stake suspose to gather names to take to the temple. Our stake had the entire temple reserved the entire afternoon and evening just for our stake! We had youth there to do baptisms and adults there to do everything else! In August Shane and I were called to be the family history consultants in our ward to help prepare the members for this event. It has been a great experience to have this calling and involved in this event. It was wonderful to attend the temple yesterday. We had over 400 members of our stake there. It was just an awesome experience. As a family we are already preparing to take more family names through the first Saturday in November. We are so excited to get this work done for our family members!!
Also another big event for this weekend, Shane is shooting his first wedding down here today! He is doing it as I am typing this post! He is an awesome photographer and I am so proud of him!
Other events for the month-we have souper saturday craft day at church next Saturday. The following weekend my mom, grandma, aunt and I are going to Time out for Women that is in Riverside this year. Then the fourth weekend of the month Shane and I are going to San Diego for four nights! This past Janurary I received a free four night stay at the Paradise Point on our FAM trip when I worked for Get Away Today Vacations. So Shane and I decided we would use it for our anniversary. It is going to be our fifth anniversay in just a couple of weeks. Time has gone by fast. I am excited for us to have this nice getaway! I love San Diego!! After that we have Halloween weekend and lots of plans also! My list could go on and on with all the upcoming plans! I will try to be better and post more often as these events happen!
I have pictures to post also but not sure where to find them on the computer. I need to ask Shane!
We are still loving being here in California! We are mostly enjoying the weather. It is nice as fall is here and winter is coming not to have to stress about the snow!
