To a WONDERFUL 19 years!!! :)




Happy Anniversary to my amazing parents! It's hard to believe that of all the things that don't last in this world, love does! I have the most amazing parents ever, who would do anything for any one of us kids. Their legacy and love just keeps growing with each year and each experience shared together and shared with us. Now that I've graduated and am starting my own life, it's crazy to think that I'm going to be looking for this special kind of love sooner or later...

My parents have been together for about 25 or 26 years, but have been married for 19 years today!! It all started when they were 13 and my dad saw my mom for the first time at a seminary open house after moving to California from Utah. First thing he said was, "who is that.....I'm going to marry her one day!" can you say confidence much? Well after beating the crap out of a kid for calling my mom ugly, two or three "Dear John" letters, and even a pillar of fire along the way; they sealed the deal and were married for time and all eternity. What a magical and uncomprehensible blessing that really is. I am sooooo grateful for my parents and the example of true eternal love they show me. Their examples mean more and more to me as I keep getting older. I hope to one day find a love like theirs. They like to kid around with each other a lot and might get annoyed with each other, but at the end of each day I know they go to bed more in love with each other than they were the day before. My parents are soo amazing and I know that I am soo blessed to be their daughter for eternity!! I hope they have the most amazing anniversary ever because they truly deserve it! I am soo grateful for them and all that they do for me!!!! I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!! And I hope you have a memorable day!! I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY!

Love, Cambria Irene Horlacher

Welcome To The World: Izaak Legend Stokes






Izaak joined our family today at 10:05pm. Tia went into the Dr. this morning to have some ENCOURAGEMENT (I don't like the term, "Strip her Membranes")and she went on a walk afterwards. She met Cambria and they walked and walked. Well Tia calls me and tells me, "My stomach is really hard and I feel like I have to P**P." So I told her you are in labor and you are having contractions. Cambria gets on the phone and I tell her to make sure that she is keeping track of her contractions by timing them. So we hang up and Cambria calls me about 5 minutes later and she says, "Mom, her contractions are long and about 40 seconds apart and she says that she has to P**P" I tell her, get her in the car and bring her to my office so I can take her to the hospital. She tells me, "Aunty Tia said NO and that she wants to keep walking." Then I tell Cambria, "If you don't get her to the hospital than YOU will be delivering that baby in the park." Cambria FREAKED OUT!!!!! Tia said that she had to calm Cambria down. Obviously Tia made it to the hospital and had Izaak about 7 hours later.

Scrimmage Time




LOVE THIS PICTURE!! I guess Bryan really yelled at Trevor on the field and was apologizing to him. I guess, that's what you get when your dad's the coach. He only wants the BEST for his son.

Freshman Football

My son is a Freshman in High School and that is weird enough for me, but he is now in the high school football program. Bryan has been coaching at the high school on the JV and Varsity level but was given the opportunity to coach his son on the Freshman Level. He wants to watch Trevor play and that is the ONLY reason that he has been coaching at the high school, so that he could eventually help coach him in high school. Bryan is the Defensive Coordinator for the Freshman and is so excited to be coaching with some great guys. They should have a great year, they have alot of talent. Trevor is the one running pasted Bryan.
Cecilee and I went to watch one of the practices and just hanging out.
Trevor is number 36.

Trevor LOVES to be coached by his DAD.

Going to Be a BIG Brother Soon!!

This little guy brings so much joy to our lives that we LOVE having him over. Well he KNOWS that he is going to be a BIG BROTHER soon. He is only 20 months and thinks that he is Trevor's age. He loves hanging out with Trevor. He wants to follow in Trevor's shoes. hahaha

Dinner for the first night, it was a "Come as You are" Night - OBVIOUSLY

Bryan totally enjoying the ship and totally RELAXING!!!

Queen Mary Tour

We got to check in early for the cruise and the Queen Mary was right next door, so we went and ran through the ship and spooked the girls. They were so funny, they were so spooked out, it was a little scary in some parts, and they had some ghost stories, so they kept running and not wanting to be the last one on the tour. We had so much fun with them. We couldn't wait for the cruise.
