California Trip

So I had always planned on being at Brock's Farewell and I'd followed Allegiant air for the past months waiting for the prices to go super low...which they never did and towards the end they got Really expensive. Then we found out for sure that Chris was going to have to work that week, and i just felt defeated, I just given up hope that i could be there. But then i talked to my mom like a week before his farewell and told her i wasn't going to be able to make it. After i got off the phone with her it hit me, Since when have i ever just not gone to something so important, and the answer is NEVER so why was i going to start now? Needless to say, I changed my mind, I loaded up the kids and took a sweet journey down to Carlsbad. It actually worked out because i was able to pick my Aunt Susan up in Salt Lake, then we picked my Aunt Christy up in St. George and Christy drove the rest of the way to Carlsbad! It was a super fun trip and my Grandparents on both sides were able to come. I'm very grateful that i was able to be there, that Sacrament meeting was so incredible, my Dad's talk was amazing, and then of course Brock's talk was very profound. I love my family so much and am so proud of Brock and his choice to serve a mission!

My kids LOVE the beach!




I got to watch my mom rock out with her band CBAD 7!



My Mom and I also went to visit Michelle's and Shannon's graves and I took this sweet Picture of Baby Michelle with her namesake.





It was a REALLY fun trip and I'm so glad I got to spend so much time with my family! Love you guys!
