Wyatt's Baptism

We have had a busy weekend getting ready for Wyatt's Baptism next weekend. This is the day Shane has been looking forward to for 8 years. He is so excited to be able to baptism him! I am so blessed to have a husband that is worthy of the priesthood, that honors his priesthood, and uses his priesthood to do good. It truely blesses our lives! We are leaving early Friday morning to drive up to Utah and we return to California on Monday. It will be so nice to have a short work week and then have a 4 day vacation to Utah and than another short work week! I will feel everyone in on the detail next week. But we don't want to miss inviting family and friends that want to share in Wyatt's special day!
Wyatt's Baptism is at the Roy West Stake Center at 2270 West 4800 South Roy Utah. It on Saturday September 5th at 2pm. We hope to see all family and friend there!

Where did the summer go?

This summer has gone by so fast! We have been so busy! We work all week and never see each other. Shane and I are on opposite schedules right now. I work 8am-5pm and he works 1pm-10:30pm. It is crazy! So the weekends we try to fit everything in and spend as much time as possible with each other!

The past couple of weekends we have been able to find some together time. We have went to the movies, the beach and to dinner. This past weekend we had Micheal for his last weekend before school starts. We decided to have our end of the year beach party Friday afternoon and evening. It was fun. The ocean water was warm and Shane spent the entire time we were there in the water trying to surf! It was fun watching him. We also took Corbin and he had so much fun just playing in the sand.

This next weekend we are going to go to the Orange County marketplace, we need to shop for Wyatt birthday presents and hopefully do a few other fun things together.

We only have a couple of weeks before Wyatt's Baptism! We are so excited to come to Utah and to have Shane baptism Wyatt! This is a day that Shane has been looking forward to for a long time!

I have posted a few pictures! Enjoy!!

New Job

Well I think I have landed myself a new job. It is a amazing story though. Last week I got a call from a dental office in Irvine. When I talked to the office they wanted to know if I lived close by in Orange County. Well they can see on my resume that I live in Corona. So I said no and that was it. They didn't want to interview me. So call is ended. Then this Tuesday I get a call from the same dental office and they did not talk about where I lived but just said that the doctor wanted to set up an interview with me at my availability.
I go in on Wednesday for the interview with the doctor. We are discussing where I worked before like normal and he is asking a lot about what I did at the previous dental office I worked for. At the end he tells me that he is really good friends with the previous dentist. He also said that he would tell him hi for me when he called him.
So I am not stupid and I am still good friends with Dr. Hsu. So I came home and call him. I had to leave a message. Not more than an hour later Dr. Hsu called me back. He said that he had just received a message from the other doctor but wanted to call me first. So he was asking me if I wanted the job. I said that I did, that it would be a good opportunity. So he basically told me that if I wanted the job than he would make it happen for me. That he was really good friends with this doctor and he could get me the job. So I thanked him and ended the call.
So about 30 minutes later I get a call from the doctor I interviewed with and he had me come in today for a working interview and to see from there. Well the day went good and I am to report back in on Monday.
I feel so blessed. I know that Heavenly Father is watching out for me. I also know that you need to remain in good contact with past friends and employers. I am so glad that I have remained good friends with Dr. Hsu. I am also thankful for his influence in all this and for the good things he told the doctor about me. I feel so blessed today. What a difference a day makes. I am excited to not have to interview anymore. That is a blessing in itself.
Months ago I knew it was the right decision to move to California and that Heavenly Father was behind our move down here. Even though it was a difficult decision to make. It was extremely difficult to leave Wyatt in Utah. We still struggle with that. But we are starting to see light of why we are here and the blessings that go with doing the right thing when it doesn't make since.
I am truly blessed!!!

Week Two with Wyatt here

Well this past week went by so fast. Today Shane and I were discussing this weeks plans and he started to tear up when he realized that this is Wyatt's last week with us. I just reminded he to just take one day at a time and enjoy this week as much as possible.

Well here is the last weeks recap. On monday we took Wyatt to the park down the street that had water squirters. It was so fun for him. On Tuesday we just went swimming in the pool in the morning. Then in the afternoon Papa, Wyatt and I went up to Bakersfield to pick up Micheal. The boys were so excited to see each other. Micheal gave Wyatt a bear hug and picked him up and was swinging him around. On Wednesday we had another swim day and a relaxed play day. Then on Thursday we went to Disneyland. This was Shane, Wyatt and my third day and my Mom, Micheal, and Corbin's first day. It was so fun. We got on so many rides. It was also my birthday. I got a gift card from disney since they were doing the celebration gift this year. We had fun using that. For my birthday my parents got me summer clothes, Shane and Wyatt gave me a gift certificate to get a pedicure, and with some of my Disney gift card I bought a new purse. It was a fun day and a great way to celebrate my birthday. On friday we got up late and had a lazy morning and then the boy's went to the park again to enjoy the water squirters. Later that night we went to the Miguel's at Dos Lagos to have my birthday dinner. On Saturday it was 4th of July and one of my favorite holiday's! We got up and went out to my aunt and uncles house it Palmdale. We had all the family there for a fun day of swimming and a bar-b-que. We then left in time to get home to see the fireworks. On Sunday we went to our favorite beach Corona Del Mar in the afternoon. It was a busy week and so much fun. Shane, Micheal, mom, and Brad are all sunburnt. Wyatt and I were lucky this time to not be burnt! I am getting a nice tan and I love it!
So we are on to week #3. We have some plans for the week. My mom took this week off. We still have a day at Wild Rivers water park that the boy will be surprised about and a movie day and swimming of course. It will go by fast I am sure but we are just trying to enjoy every minute Wyatt is here with us!! I have so many pictures to post but I have not downloaded them to the computer yet. Hopefully I will have those on my next post!!

Wyatt Invades California!!

We have had a busy week with Wyatt here. I decided that I would do a one week recap for each week that Wyatt is here.
Shane and Wyatt arrived in California on Monday morning. Wyatt was so excited to finally be in California and excited for his summer vacation to begin. We did not do too much monday. We came back to the house and played. On tuesday we went to the movies and went swimming. Wednesday we went swimming again. Then on Thursday we went to Disneyland. We decided that we would focus the day in Disney's California Adventure. It was such a fun day. We got to go on so many rides, some for the first time. Wyatt was finally tall enough for California Screamin. He loved it!! We went on it 2 times, tried for a third but the ride broke down before we were able to get on. After DCA closed we headed over to Disneyland for fireworks and a few more rides. On friday we were so tired that we stayed around the house. Corbin was over for the day so the boys went swimming again and just played together. On Saturday it was back to Disneyland. This time we focused the day at Disneyland. We went on all our favorite rides. Wyatt got picked to do the Jedi Training Academy. That was the highlight of his day, maybe his life!!! It was a fun day.
Today we went to church and then headed to San Diego to pick Chad and Wendy up at the San Diego Airport. They are going on a cruise today for the week. It was fun to see them and we went to lunch and then dropped them off at the cruise ship. I really hope they have a great time on their cruise!! After that we headed back home but stopped to see Grandma and Grandpa on the way.
That pretty much sums up our first week with Wyatt here. We are having so much fun! But time is flying by! This next week Micheal comes down to play and we are going to Disney for one last day, on my birthday! We have some fun things planned for the 4th. It will be another busy fun filled week! I will post pictures as soon and I get them loaded onto the computer.

Summer is Finally Here!!!

I feel that summer has finally arrived. The past couple of weeks the weather has been the normal June weather here in Cali! We have had the overcast morning and it burns off in the afternoon to nice sunny weather and then it is night again and the sun is gone. But this week the sun has been shining in the morning when we wake up and it stays up all day. We have had perfect 80 degree weather all week. Oh so nice! I do love summer time.

We are so excited for Wyatt to come in just a few days. Shane is flying out saturday morning. He will pick Wyatt up on sunday morning and then they fly to California on Monday morning. I think that is a perfect father's day gift for him. It will be so nice to have Wyatt with us for 3 weeks. We have a lot of fun activites planned for him. We of course will do the usual California things like the beach, and Disneyland. But we are hoping to do a few new things like Wild Rivers water park. But most of all it is going to be a time for us all to be together as a family and just have fun.

With Father's day just ahead I would like to tell my husband how much I love him. I think he is the best father in the world and I am so glad that he has his time coming to spend with Wyatt. I know he misses him so much and is sacraficing so much to be here in California. I would also like my dad Brad and my father in law Gary to know that I love them and I am thankful for everything they do for Shane and I. They are wonderful men and wonderful examples to me. I hope all the other father's out there have a great day on sunday.

Here's to a great summer!!!

A Surprise Vistor at Newport Beach

Yesterday Shane and I went to Mission Viejo first thing in the morning. I had an interview at a dental office there. The interview went really good. I am going back tomorrow to do a working interview. So we will see. After my interview, we headed to Newport Beach to meet Bart, Marti, Ava, and Sophie. They are down from Utah visiting for the week. We got to Newport alittle early and Shane wanted to take some picture on the beach. As we headed down onto the sand we saw a sea lion. It was just a baby. Shane took alot of pictures of him. I posted two pictures below. We were sad that Bart and Marti wern't there to see him. But a short while later they arrived and the sea lion was still there hanging out. It was so cool to take Ava down to see him. They had been to Seaworld the day before so She was excited to see him.

After the Sea Lion encounter we went out on the pier and had lunch at Ruby's Diner. Then walked around alittle bit by the shops. After that Shane and I had to take off. Shane had to get home and ready for work. But we had a great time. It was so nice to see Bart, Marti, Ava, and Sophie. We hope to see more of the family soon!! Enjoy the pictures below. It was so cool to see him so close-up.
