QUIN'S VALENTINE VIDEO

Grandpa Geo took this video of Quin and the singing bear last night with his cell phone, so the picture isn't the best. But I still get a good laugh out of it, especially since Quin is all snuggled up to the bear while he is trying to eat him.

PART PUPPY

There are times when Quin does things similar to a puppy. For example, a lot of people who have heard him eat says he sounds just like a puppy. He just gulps and gulps. He is also playful like a puppy and always demands your attention. I also find that if your not watching him to carefully he will make a mess, especially since he is getting pretty good at grabbing things. He can also drool with the best of them. Trust me, this baby is never dry. Just like a puppy he likes to taste everything and if he could he would chew on it as well. And then there is my favorite, he just loves to be walked. If he could have it his way someone would be holding him at all times and constantly walking him around the house. When this happens, all I can do is smile and say, "I have to walk the dog."

COUNT DOWN

The first day of Chase's new job he found out that he would have to go to Massachusetts for a month long training. Chase thought it would be best if Quin and I went to Utah while he was gone. So here I am in Utah and Chase is far away in Massachusetts and I MISS HIM LIKE CRAZY!!!! He does get to visit us this weekend and I have started counting down the days....three more days until I get to give him a big huge hug!!!!

KING OF THE HOUSE

Here he is completely relaxed on our new furniture.

Yep, he definitely rules in our home.

MY LITTLE SPECK

I thought this flower looked just like the one in Horton Hears a Who, so it's my little speck in my new backyard. What a fun flower and I am sure there is a whole little city of pollen or something living on my little speck.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Chase had to hold Quin the whole way home.

Our nice little stroll in warm weather.

Utah weather, need I say more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

We Spent New Years with Chase's family. We had fun playing games and ping pong around the world. Q was probably the one that was still bright eyed by midnight. It was a lot of fun and I got my new years kiss by my two favorite guys.

2008

This past year has been a wonderful one with new and exciting things that happened. The most important one has been my son, Quinton, he has brought so much joy and happiness into my life. With him came a new out look on life and I am grateful for that blessing. I am also grateful for a wonderful husband who cares so much about his family. He has such a strong character and is alway a wonderful example to me. I am exciting for the upcoming year and what new experiences will come our way.

Moving to California

Big moving truck to take our things to California.

Packing for California (thats the worse part of moving.)

Big truck to take our car to California.

P.S. I hate moving!!!

Quin's First Christmas

It's been a really long day and I am exhausted.


Santa brought me all these cool toys, but I don't
know what I am suppose to do with them.



Not quite ready to wake up and see what Santa brought me.




DANG, I look cute in this hat!!!

Up Date

I have been super busy moving and then coming back to Utah, so I am going to up date everyone on past events. A lot has happened, so brace yourself.

We Have Arrived

We arrived in California on Friday and it has been a little crazy. Friday was traveling most of the day and Saturday was spent shopping. It's amazing all the things that we just realized we needed for our new apartment. Hopefully we don't need to spend money for a couple of days. Today we got up early and went to church. The first ward and building we went to was not our ward, but they pointed us in the right direction and we are in the Placentia 2nd ward. Church starts at nine so we were able to make it to priesthood and releif society. A lot of people welcomed us and of course we had to repeat our last name a lot. Oh, and we even got invited over to a member's house for dinner.
I guess it still feels like vacation, hopefully by the time our things arrive it will hit me that we are now living in California.
I love and miss my family in Utah, sorry there are not any pictures of Quin. We still don't have internet. Oh and Quin misses everyone tons and tons. He told us all about it on friday night, it was super cute.
