California 2010

We recently took a trip to Reno Nevada and San Jose California! We saw my Uncle Mike and Aunt Lorraine in Reno then went on to San Jose to see Jasmine's sister Tina and her family! It was a lot of fun. Eli did very well on the drive, we were both very proud of him! The drive there was very smooth, weather was decent, and roads were clear! Once we got to San Jose, we had a week to explore. We went to the beach, Childrens Discovery Museum, Happy Hollow Zoo, and Monterey Bay Aquariaum. Eli had a blast while we were there, he slept so good at nights because he was so tired from all the activites that we did during the day. When we werent out and about we were in the apartment where Eli could play with his Cousins, Imogene and Liz. They had so much fun together and it was nice to watch Eli play with family and be able to bond with them so well. Eli would give everyone cuddles and loves every night before bed!

On the way home was a completely different story than on the way there. The weather was horriable, raining, snowing, and windy, from San Jose to Reno (4 Hours) I think that we went through at least 3 snowstorms and who knows how many rain storms. There was even 1 snow storm that we went through that we HAD to get chains for our tires. It was ridicolous, I had to stand out in the snow and 20 degree weather for 2 hours, then waited another hour in the store before someone could put the chains on our tires. Once we left there, the sun came out and it stopped snowing and we only needed them for 15 miles. AND WE HAD TO PAY $90 for the STUPID chains. (So if anyone that reads this needs some chains let us know!!!)

The rest of the drive wasnt too bad, a few minor storms and rain but nothing major. But it was nice to be home finally. We all had fun, but its so nice once you get back to your home so you can relax. I will get pictures up as soon as I can!

Until next time

Quick Update

Well, it really has been a long time since either of us has updated this blog..

So. Since January I have started my job at Koala Kids Academy and I love it. I can get really tiring but I love being able to work with all the kids :)

Tomorrow is the Monster Truck Show in Pocatello and we are going for my brothers birthday. We are so excited to go, we have gone almost every year together for the last 4yrs. It is going to be so much fun and cant wait :)

In a few weeks we will be going to California for a little while, we are going to see my sister, her husband and their 2 kids. This will be the first time that we have really met Mark and his daughter Liz. I'm excited because the last time they saw Eli was when he was 2mths old. So now he is old enough to play with the girls and they will love him :) Eli will love them too. He loves anyone that will play and give him attention (usually)

For easter we got a bike trailer and we have used it a few times, I am really glad that the weather is warming up so that we can spend more time outside as a family :)

Ummm, I dont really know what else there is to update. But I am going to change the email address so that we remember it :) hahahaha, we always forget either the password or email address..

New Year ('',)

Our new year was pretty chill (and I dont mean cold) we didnt really do much, Doug, Eli and I went to his grandparents house for dinner and we played a few games of cribbage :) that is a fun game.. After we got home we put Eli to bed and we went downstairs and played another game of cribbage until my mum and sister came over to count in the new year with us :)
It wasnt really anything but it was alot of fun..

Just before Christmas I applied for a bunch of job and one of them was including Koala Kids Academy (its the Malaleuca Daycare) and I got a call back hearing that I have been offered a job to work there :) it was funny because we were in the mall when they called me and I was so excited that I was actually jumping up and down while I was on the phone with them, I am sure that the people around me was wondering what kind of crazy person I was :) I even told Doug and he was like "Jasmine, nobody jumps around just because they are excited" but that is obviously not true because I was :-D

But I start on Tuesday the 5th, and I am also able to take Eli with me when I don't have anyone to watch him :)
