The Waiting Game

So we are currently in the process of buying our first home which is such an exciting yet stressful process. The past 2 weeks i have felt like i am going to have a heart attack! I absolutely do not like the feeling of stress! But anyways we believe we have found our home. We put 2 offers on 2 different houses seeing as when we contacted our realtor with the list of houses we wanted to see, they were all sold! He showed us the first house and we fell in love. It isn't the prettiest house on the block nor the biggest, but we think its the one for us! It is on a huge lot which gives us room to grow =]. The second house we saw we also loved. It wasn't as tiny as the first and it felt more homey instead of appartmenty. What is funny is some friends from the church used to live there! So which ever offer gets accepted we will gladly take. Both of these homes have their perks and we would be absolutely happy with either of them. Hopefully my next blog post will be when we get our home =]

Dana Point

What is summer without a beach trip?! My parents invited us to join them this past weekend at their timeshare in Dana Point! When i was younger and living with them we would go pretty much every summer and i have soo many fond memories of this place! It was also Aiden and Dillans very first time at the beach! Aiden liked digging in the sand(he is such a boy) and running away from the waves. It was so fun to watch him take everything in! When the wave would recede he would get pulled with it and run towards the ocean laughing. We had to keep a close eye on him because of this reason! He has absolutely no fear of water!

The beach is a bit rocky in some areas but it was lots of fun!
The night we got there. Aiden watching small world with gramps.

The next morning i woke up to find him like this watching elmo! I sit like this all the time!

Dillan didn't care too much for the bright sun even though he was under an umbrella =]

Digging in the sand!

Heading to the water.

Aiden either running away from gramps or the water.

Our sad sand castle...you cant really see it lol

Capistrano Beach =]

The resort we stayed at is right behind Cody's big head lol you can see some of it next to the RV on the right.

The next day we went to the beach again and buried Aiden! You can see the resort better in this picture!

He loved the sand. It was warm =]

This was before we left. After dinner Aiden passed out after a loong weekend of fun at the beach!

------------------------------------------

Some other exciting news!! We soon might be homeowners!

Blessed

This little angel was blessed today and i must say his daddy did a great job for it being his first time. Aiden was blessed by grandpa since Cody didn't hold the priesthood yet. We tried to wait it out but Aiden was 3 months old and very heavy already. Dillan is also going to be 2 months old in 4 days! Wow how the time flies!

Summer... and a little of Kobe Bryant too!

We just cant get enough of you!!

Cody got his go kart fixed by his buddy. So now we have a new fun thing to occupy our time =]

Me and Aidie

Kobe Bryant and his fam bam came to the Redlands YMCA today!! How cool is that!?

Swimming =] Aiden prefers the spa.

And will go into the pool by force.

Eating is how Dillan spends his summer

Not a good picture but oh well!

Next weekend we are going to be staying at a time share on the beach! This will be Aiden's very first time at the beach!! And Dillan's too!

More summer fun!!

Warning: Squishing Dillan's cheeks together to make a fishy face will result in this face =]

The boys hanging out.

Pickle is already more than half the size of his brother...but weighing only 1/3.

This is what we do in our backyard

Chloe hanging out in the shade.

Drinking from the hose.

This is how we spend our Summer!

Trying on our rainboots.

Going to Jumpzone!!

Playing at the park.

Drinking slurpys, icees, and frosty freezes!

And happily napping.

More Summer fun to come!!

Refreshed

My Pictures aren't in order so bear with me =]

The band that always plays at the Tropicana. They are very good! The Asian guy in the hat was singing a Michael Jackson song and sounded exactly like him! The girl isn't bad either!
On the way home. I didn't know that San Bernardino County reached all the way to the river!

On the way there!

This is where we filled up! 40 cents cheaper than Redlands!

We bought this at Walmart. I didn't know they sold half of a pie in their own half of a pie container!

The water just looks amazing!

Sitting on the beach =]

We are finally back from our lovely get away! Even though it was a hot and toasty 116 it was nice to have a little vacay from the kiddies! When we dropped Aiden off he didn't mind at all. He was saying "bye momma" like it was nothing! He usually cries when he sees we are leaving or we have to sneak out but not that day! It made it even harder to leave seeing him behaving so well! I caught up on some much needed sleep and i must say that was the first night in a looong time that i was able to close my eyes, not get kicked, and not even wake up until the morning! The water in the river didn't even feel cold it was so hot. We were bummed to not have seadoos this time around, but we have alot of fun things planned this week so until then! =]
