Trip to Corona and Disneyland!

We took off the end of September and trecked further west to visit Steve's sister and family in Corona, California. Jake was a gem on the drive. We spent a couple days in Corona just hanging out and letting Jake's cousins get to know him. We then spent a few days at Disneyland and California Adventures. The Loder's came with us one day and then we spent the other 2 days with a good friend and old mission companion of mine. It was pretty much perfect weather while we were there (a little too hot the 3rd day) but all in all a great trip!

BBQ and Fishing

We were invited to a BBQ at Shanna & Jay's home. We had fun! We enjoyed hamburgers and chicken. Afterward we walked to a local park and watched Jay's son fly his remote-control airplane (until the crash landing). Then we drove to the lake at Daybreak and did a little fishing and duck-feeding. It was a gorgeous afternoon!

Macey & Lola - Update

With all the hype surrounding Jake and his arrival to our family, our cute puppies have been put on the sideline. Yes, we still have our beautiful girls and still love them to pieces. It sometimes feels like we have 3 kids instead of 1, but we wouldn't trade it. The dogs bring us a lot of joy. Macey is now 2 and a half and Lola is almost 1 (birthday on 9/11). Lola is all grown up now, she was just spayed on Friday and is recovering nicely. Macey and Lola are good friends and keep each other pretty entertained.
