Marina Landfill Field Trip

April 2013
Cali's class in 3rd Grade

I went with Cali to the local landfill and learned so much. It was a very informative field trip. We learned the process of filling the giant holes with trash vs reusing things and recycling trash. We learned about the falcons that's keep other birds away that eat the trash and make more messes.

It was a fun day and I love spending time with cali.

Our new PG house

April 2013

After finding out that KC got the Alameda,CA Station (just outside of San Francisco) we decided as a family to stay in PG and that KC would commute to work when the boat was in port. He was transferred to a big boat that is gone for months at a time. So rather than move to a new area where I don't know anyone AND he would be deployed a lot we opted for KC to make the sacrifice. It's working out great. We love the schools here, our ward, our friends and the great community. Hopefully we will be here for a long time.

PG Good Ole Days 2013

I love this little town we live in. April brings nice weather and a cute street fair called the Good Ole Days. There are food, clothing, gift and toy booths and so much more. There is a petting zoo and rides for the kids. We have a great time!

Happy New Year

Welcome 2014!!!
We celebrated the end of 2013 with the Williams family. We played games and let the kids stay up until midnight. We rang in the new year with Martinellis and noise makers. We love their family.

Taking Wyatt to the Temple

April 2013

What an amazing experience!! We have had Wyatt since May of 2011. He was almost 2 but didn't talk, didn't walk much and didn't eat anything. We started exposing him to anything we could and teaching him to eat. We started the adoption process in February of 2012 and we were put through tons of hoops. The adoption was final in January of 2013 and we were able to take him to the temple in April of 2013 to be sealed to our family. It was a beautiful day shared by friends and family. Our kids were able to be in the temple with us and that was super special too. I knew on that day that our family was complete and all together for eternity.
