LAST DAYS in UT/FIRST DAYS in CA!!
It's not like me to do two posts in one day, usually I just do one about every Sunday, but I wanted to get these all out there . . .
UTAHCelebrating my Dad's 62nd Birthday in my parents backyard . . .
Look at Jared's eyes, they're looking at this random toy he decided to toss just before the picture was taken. It is a dog on a skateboard.
Scarlett, Marisa, Auntie Em
Jonathan and Anne who just started the new Semester at BYU this week!
Yummy Jell-O cake made by my sister Becky.
Dad with two out of his three girls.
My little nieces are the cutest cousins, my sister Annie has special "play" make up set aside for when they come over, this was just after a makeover session.
I brought pants so I could jump on the tramp with Jared.
I love what you do for me TOYOTA! In high school this jump was named after that commercial.
Jared's awesome backwards flippy thing.
My niece Courtney and her family just moved from Texas to Midway, UT, this was visiting their new house.
CALIFORNIA -
On Labor Day we had a picnic at Doheny Beach with Jared's parents and friend Jesus. This was our first trip to the beach since we'd moved the weekend before.
Jared on the long board that his little bro Chase made all by himself, it is awesome!
Even his dad can long board!
Yummy Food.
Patti and I with the sunset.
Our first pic with the ocean since we moved, too bad you can't see the water, too dark.
On Friday I drove down to Corona del Mar Beach (15 min drive) so Jared could be distraction-free while he worked on his Thesis, and so I could try to finish Breaking Dawn!
Pier at Corona del Mar
There are so many GORGEOUS beach houses at this beach, I wanted to take more pics of my favs but then thought it might be kind of weird if I was standing right outside someones house taking pictures. But maybe they're used to it . . .
Here was all my stuff, Pink chair, cooler with a little lunch, towel, Breaking Dawn! (which I finished yesterday!)
Self portrait! Family, do you remember this hat I got on the Disney Cruise?
REMEMBER TO LOOK AT 2ND POST BELOW!
This pic of Jared and his big sis Jessica looks like it could have been taken on the first day of Kindergarten maybe? He looks about 5. Patti, do you know? It's funny to think Jess was once taller than Jared.
4-5 more years of school? We can do it!
7. SUPERHERO NAME: (”The” + 2nd favorite color, favorite drink): The Red Limonada
Ready to rock the defense!
Some of our old friends that are in Jared's same program. It was great to see you guys! Thanks for coming to support!
My parents and little sis Annie came too.
The three professors on Jared's thesis commitee - when it was all over! They all agreed that he passed!
I went to visit my little sis Annie who lives in the same Hall I lived in! To my Hinckley Buds, the Cannon Center as we knew it is gone! They built a brand new one right next to it, it is a lot bigger and nicer! Being here made me miss all the great memories I have with my dorm buds, I'm glad we're still in touch through blogging!
My fam got together at my sister Becky's house while we were there. My niece Eliza crawled in the doghouse!
I absolutely LOVE this picture! I really miss ALL my nieces and nephews so much. Sweet Julia even cried when she had to go to bed and we had to leave, it almost made me cry too! And when I asked Nathaniel for a hug before we left he said "oh, OF COURSE!" 
Jared and his bro Chase at Fro-Yo.
Things are going pretty well here in California, we're feeling more settled and are getting to know more people in our ward and in our area. Everyone is really nice and we are so greatful. Jared starts school this week!

Becky on drums
Joel and Jared on guitar
Brendan on guitar and yours truly singing my heart out
I stood on the Kitchen Table to get this shot!
Becky. By the way this hat is part of our sweet get-up we put aside just for rock band.
as are these sun glasses, authentic rocker sun glasses.
Joe and I, was this a Boston song?
Marisa knows how to work it!
Concentration
The baby thought her parents looked a little crazy, but I'm sure she'll grow up to ROCK as well.
Was this a David Bowie song?
This Band loves to eat at the Bombay House . . .
Jared is good at holding babies, he gets lots of practice with our nieces and nephews. Scarlett is such a good baby!
