1st Day of School...Sort Of

It wasn't really the first day of school because my brother had my camera that day. We pretended it was the first day though. My little tiny infant daughter started Pre School this month and it has been nothing but pure joy for everyone. This first pic proves it.

Instead of backpacks, they bring a bucket to school each day and they get to decorate it however they like. My sister was sweet to spray paint Kali's bucket hot pink and buy all the princess stickers to go on it. Needless to say she has the most diva bucket in her class.


I was trying to get a pic of her sitting on the stairs alone, but Griffey has become a real camera hog lately.

Inside the classroom, she's in heaven. She didn't even care to see me leave because she was on some kind of pre school high.


I may or may not have cried when I walked out of that room and left her, and I may or may not have gotten there extra early to pick her up so I could be the first mom there. Since then it's gotten a lot better.

Redlands Temple

Yesterday we took our youth to do baptisms at the beautiful Redlands Temple. Did I mention that it was beautiful? Well it was. Despite the fact that we left before the sun came up, we had a really nice time. After the temple we trekked up a mountain, rode on a hay wagon, picked apples in an orchard, made apple cider, and said "what's up" to a few donkeys. Yes, donkeys. Doesn't get better than that.













At the end of the day I came home to this silly head.

Visit From Nana & Papa Smith

Last week Nana & Papa Smith and Auntie Mariah came to visit us and we packed the week with lots of beach adventures. I only brought the camera out a few times, but while they were here we hit Seal Beach, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach a few times, and Knott's Berry farm. We had so much fun and miss them in our home already.




Kali didn't leave Mariah's side the whole week
