Last Sunday 2015

The very last Sunday of the year....we are in Vacaville at Jake and Jennifer's ward with everyone! There was 21 of us, we kinda were a pretty big group! Fun seeing people I hadn't seen in a LONG time!

Vicki Arrives Today!

We are on our way to Ontario to pick up Vicki!!! She has been gone just over a year. It feels like she left yesterday with just a billion things that happened overnight!

Our family picture! Ryan is killing me!!!

In the car heading to LA. Gonna spend the rest of the day with Ed's sisters family.

Dinner was Vicki's request, Islands! Yum! I had The Hawaiian, extra YUM!

Cousins playing while waiting on food....

Noelle was loving her Vicki time! She would throw a fit and cry every time Vicki had to surrender her to the car seat!

One Horse Open Wagon

We decided to get our Christmas spirit in gear and head out to The Mission Inn in Riverside to see The Festival of Lights. We haven't been in awhile. Last year it started raining on the night we were thinking about going, so we had a change of plans! But we made it this year. Boy was it crowded! BUT!!! We saved a fortune on cash and calories because the lines to buy anything yummy were crazy! Like roller coaster line long!!! So we didn't buy any of those totally over priced, very delicious smelling, calorie packed Christmas treats! And I was just fine with that! I'm down 21 pounds since summer no need to pay an outrageous amount of cash to get some of those pounds back!!! Hahaha The boys did the Cinderella Cariage last time and they did not want to do that agin! Sooooo we did the wagon tour for the lights. It was totally beautiful as alway!!!

We have arrived!

The boys did not want to do the Cinderella Carriage again!!! But it is definitely worth it to do once!!!

Our beautiful horse

This sweetie was right behind us. She reminded us of Aires and Ford on how they hold their heads and stare at you. Loved their sparkly hooves!!!

In the wagon...if you know them than you know they are happy. If you don't know them, than they look like grumbly teenage boys! Ha! It was pretty chilly, but to Ryan it was perfect weather! Shorts, tshirt, no jacket required.

But we look happy!!! 

It was a fun Christmassy night. The YouTube video shows more of the lights. 

Here it is if us want to see a little glimpse of this fun place!

He Made The Cut!

Nov 6, 2015

The list came out for Seargant Major today. I couldn't believe when Ed called this morning and told me. I cried....I'm sooo over the moon happy for him! He has worked so hard and all that work paid off! He came back from a meeting to find this giant banner on his office door!

He was quite impressed...

The smile of happiness....it's sinking in...

It's been a great day!

Time to go home and celebrate!
