SPRING BREAK turned into STAYCATION

We rented a 15 passenger van to go to Laguna Beach, California. We just thought that it would be fun to travel together and visit. As we were traveling down we got word from a friend, Shelly Hansen that said President Trump is declaring a state of emergency with the State of California and may possibly close the borders. She said you should still be able to get in. BUT what happens when we want to come home to Utah. So we pulled over in Las Vegas and had breakfast as a family and discussed what we were going to do. Turn around and have a STAYCATION or continue traveling and take the risk in California? Well we decided as a family to go home and have a STAYCATION!!!

 We found a mall in Las Vegas and went shopping for a little while and then headed back to St. George. We then went to dinner at The Habit and enjoyed visiting with each other. 

The next day we went to Cambria's and played SPIKE BALL in the backyard and then went CanAm riding and then went to the Pickleball courts and played for a few hours.

 

Sunday we had home centered church and had it in our home.

It was so spiritual and listening to each other bare testimony.

We then went to Snow Canyon Park for family pictures and came home for dinner.

It was such a fun weekend spending time with one another. 

The Miklich's come to Town

It was awesome having Cheri, Celina and Mom over to Cecilee and Angels home to enjoy the evening with us. While they were there, Mia gave a performance of a lifetime to Frozen 2 with Elsa singing "Into The Unknown" with dramatic motions while singing.

She was hilarious and we all enjoyed watching her. 

Bishopric Dinner

We had a dinner with the Bishopric since we were getting close to being released.

We had so much fun with the Calaways, Mills, and Needhams

We will miss them when we are all released. 

Saturday fun day

Today Bryan and I went to shop for couches at DownEast and guess who we ran into?

The cutest little mannequins

After that we decided lets go to Durangos since we are right next door.

So as we go get our food guess who is in line as well?

Clay and Julee with Kiana and Austin!!!

 We ABSOLUTELY LOVE running into family!!!

Such a great surprise on a Saturday!!!

Ward Single Adult Dinner Party

 Bryan and I threw out the idea to the Bishop to start having dinner parties with the members in our homes to allow for more interactions with each other.

So this was our first dinner party in our home.

We had 12 members come and I made teriyaki chicken, rice and asian salad. 

Everyone brought sides to go with it and dessert. 

It was so much fun, we ate and played 2 truths and a lie during dinner.

We love our ward and our calling!!

Meet Parker Zerilli

This is Parker Zerilli, the boy who stole Sydnee's heart.

He is the oldest of 4 children to Tami & Toni Zerilli.

They live in Northern California and she is a nurse and he is a Police Officer.

Parker is going to school to be a nurse at BYU.

Sydnee met Parker at Sports Clips, he came in to get a haircut and got her number and the rest is history.

SURPRISE 70th Party for Mom

WELCOME 2020 !!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIA!

Wow, I didn't ever think that this year would come. I remember being a senior in 1987 and thought 2000 seemed so far away and today it's 2020. WHAT THE HECK!!! Well the best way to celebrate such a great year being 2020 is going to Disneyland to celebrate Tia's 34th birthday in 2020. It was just a girls trip and we had a blast!!! There were 7 of us: Tia, Tonya, Cam, Cec, Ky, Macie and Chelsea. Sydnee was so sick, with Corona Virus, we think. We will explain more about that later on in March 2020. haha

We stayed at the Clemintine hotel around the corner from Disneyland and just played all day on Tia's Birthday at both parks California Adventure and Disneyland. Happy Birthday to one of my most favorite people on this planet!! She brings so much happiness and joy. She made us all laugh all day long and made so many people's days by her compliments, tiktoks and smiles. 

Weekend fun with our kids in Provo

 There was a few reasons why we went up north to see our kids.

One being that Sydnee is dating a boy names Parker Zerelli and we needed to meet him and spend time with Trevor and Kylee and help with their fixer upper home.

We also went up for Mia and Rex's Birthday Fiesta that Angel's mom put together. 

It was so much fun. Of course we needed to go and have dinner at SEVEN BROTHERS and

I got to see my cousin Seek. 

WE LOVE BEING ALL TOGETHER!!!

We always love when Tia and Andy's family could join us when we are in town.
