Here are some more pictures from our trip. Friday, on our way to San Fran, we went to Muir woods, known for it's huge, gorgeous redwood trees. We went on one of the most beautiful 2 mile walks I have ever been on. Then we headed in to the city. We did a sightseeing open top double decker bus tour, the Aquarium of the Bay tour and China town. It was great fun and I have to say I am so impressed by the beauty of this state. Sunday we headed back to the Sacramento temple to take more pictures. These pictures are taken from two different cameras so I'm not even going to try to put them in any order. And just a little shout out to my Hubby. I love you Mark and wish you were here with us. We miss you

Sacramento!!!

It's been a long time coming, but we are finally on vacation!!! Unfortunately Mark is to busy with work (and finals) to be here with us, but he suggested we take a little trip to sunny California to visit his parents. So here we are for 10 days! Yesterday we went to the Sacramento temple, which is beautiful, and just walked around the grounds. Matthew's favorite part are the wild turkeys which roam freely. Yes I said turkeys. He was determined to catch one to take home, but of course after about 4 attempts ended up empty handed. Here are some picture. We will be going to San Francisco for a couple days, so there will be more photos to come.

ABCSs

Here it is!!!!!.......

Here it is, the update you have all been anxiously awaiting! As most of you may or may not know Mark is typically the one who has done most of the blogging. I don't like to blog and more so I feel like I don't have the time since Lucy has been born. With Mark very very busy with his job and getting is MBA he really has no time. So are blog has suffered. So sorry.
Life is good for us though, a little crazy at times, but good non the less. My little Matthew is turning 3 in two months. Can you believe it?! He is still the fun,charming, very energetic, intelligent little guy he has always been. I have enjoyed so much watching him reach new development stages socially, mentally and physically. He loves to play pretend with friends. His favorite games are heroes, Spider man or Buzz Lightyear, and Cowboys. He loves to go to nursery and sing songs like Popcorn popping and Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam. He is also big into singing his ABCs. It's super cute up until the 20th time he repeats it. I love our Matthew Gene!
Lucy is 8 months now. Boy has that gone by fast. She is almost to the point where she is crawling. She just hasn't quite figured out the forward motion. She is pulling herself up to furniture and is trying to stand on her own. She has the sweetest smile and giggle and she adores her big brother. She has been such a good happy baby and I definitely consider myself blessed.
Im doing good also. just enjoying the mom thing and trying to fix up my house, a never ending project. This last week Mark and I went to the Michael Buble concert and holy cow it was awesome, I would definitely go again and recommend going to anyone who has the desire. I will even go as far as saying that his concert was better then Josh Groban and those who know me know that is huge. He was just so entertaining and funny and handsome. Plus I got to sing and dance the whole time. Michael said he wanted the night to be a celebration, a party for us, and that it was. Mark even enjoyed himself. I caught him singing pretty loud and at times there was even a slight shaking of the hips. It was the first time I had really left Lucy and thankfully things went well. It was so good to have a break and just be able to spend some time with Mark.

So now the fun part. Pictures! Again I apologize that we haven't been better about putting pictures on. Some date back Christmas. Better late then never.
