Carmel, Monterey, and Pebble Beach

Last weekend Kreg, CC and I took a trip to Carmel-by-the-sea, Monterey and went on the 17 Mile drive along the coast that tours Spyglass, Pebble Beach, and Spanish Bay golf courses. I had so many pictures to chose from that I decided I would narrow them down and make a slide show. We had alot of fun! We took CC to the Denise the Menace park in Monterey it is a huge park for kids! I didnt take many of CC there just because she is still to little to do anything but walk around or swing.
Kreg loved seeing the golf courses (but that would be obvious of course) he hopes to one day play Pebble but it will have to be after Law school because its over $500 for a round! and you have to book your tee time months in advance. I loved being at the beach and driving up and down the coast! It was a perfect getaway full of Kreg's fav (golf) and my Fav (the beach) our hotel was ghetto but we tend to get cheap hotels so we can have more money for activities! Plus the ghetto hotels alway give us funny stories to share!

Love Anna & ilyHappy day to my Dad! He has always been my rock, the man I go to for advice on anthing, He raise his kids right and taught us what is important in life! He taught me how to treat others and to put them before myself. He gave me a passion for learning and working hard. He taught me to be strong and to have an opinion. He taught me how to stand up for myself and how to prove myself equal. He helped me gain my personal testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel. Most of all he loved me everyday despite our differences and my overly sensitive personality! I love you so much Dad and hope every day that I make you proud!
love Anna

Happy day to Kreg's Dad! He is the kindest most patient man I know. He is a great Grandpa to CC and a great Dad to his children, he will do anything for them at anytime. He is always willing to do whatever he can to make his family happy! He has shown me great love since the first time I met him! I am so blessed to have Paul as a father inlaw and I look forward to more time to get to know him and learn from his example!
We love you !

Walking Footage

Here is some walking video I promised! This is from yesterday and it is amazing to see her today, she is standing up on her own and walking around so much more today than yesterday!

I had to post these photos of CC, I gave her some lasagna and this is what happens when she eats a "messy" food mixed with being sleepy. she rubbed her eyes and apparently the rest of her face!!

One more from the Tree house museum and one of CC and my Friend Brittany's baby Tage they are 3 weeks apart but he towers over her! He is so dang cute and I say they are destined to get married one day!!
The one of her looking in the trash was from Kreg's grandparents house in Napa! IT was so cute she kept kissing herself on the trash, maybe not so sanitary but oh so cute!

I found pictures from UTAH!!

Nothing too exciting just a few from the Tree house museum (my mom & I took CC and my nephew Ashton) Some are pictures from the plane ride home where we got the whole row to ourselves so I put CC on teh seat next to me and she fell asleep I ended up laying her across the seat and she slept the whole way!!

Cecily is WALKING!!!

CC is as stubborn as her Mom and Dad, I really wanted her to walk before she was 10 months but she had to prove to me that she does things on her own time. She waited 2 days after her 10 month mark to officailly start walking! Now she has been taking steps by herself for a couple of months but I say official WALKING is walking 5 or 6 feet by herself! She is doing the whole backyard and livingroom by herself! it is hilarious because the whole time she is STONED FACE and she practically runs! I love that she couldn't care less that she knows how to walk, I beg her to get excited for me but apparently I am going to be that annoying Mom that gets excited over the silly things!!

I will be posting video as soon as I can so check back later for some FOOTAGE!!

Photo shoot with the Grand kiddos!!!

what we do in California~

We have been super busy this past week teaching swim lessons, so busy that I dont get to shower until 6:30 at night so needless to say I never get ready any more except sundays (that says alot for me) in other words I dont do anything besides teach swim lessons and take of CC! Its not bad though I mean who can complain about swimming all day in the hot sun (minus crying children), I do have a great tan after only a week!!!



SO....that is seriously all I have to post about. I did make a quick trip to Utah to see my sister's cute baby Colten but of course I am a loser and didnt take any pictures! (I stole the above photos from my sister's blog) It was fun to spend some time with my family before we go to Law school (which we still arent sure where we are going, as of right now its Minnesota).

CC has her first tooth so Im hoping the others are to come soon, considering the one tooth doesnt do any good if she doesnt have others to chew with!

Tagged again!!

You've been tagged! Here's what you gotta do.

1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Alright so here are 8 random facts about me...
1. I love to lay out, there is no better feeling than I feel when I am tan!
2. I have always wished I could be a professional dancer, I think it would be so fun to be a pro ballerina or a backup dancer!
3. I have over 50 pairs of shoes but I only my wear flip flops from old navy, everyday but sunday of course!
4. I love to learn...anything that opens my eyes and mind to new points of view, I also really like thinking diffrently than the majority, I guess Im still a rebel in my own way!
5. I love anything girly and pink! I love love love to shop, its what I do when Im happy, sad, and in between!
6. I have broken 7 bones, knocked out 2 teeth, and had stitches twice.
7. I really love being a mom, I find alot of joy from watching CC grow and learn each and every day!
8. I really want to serve a mission some day, I thought for sure I would have when I was single but Kreg came into my life so when we got married I made him promise that we would go on a mission together when our kids were out of the house!


Now I tag Kirsten, Annie, Heather W., Cindy, Brittany P, court

Stairs!!!

CC can totally climb them~ My life just got a whole lot more stressful, oh and she is taking steps by herself...not to much longer and she will be walking around everywhere!

Cecily has new TRICKS!!!

Ok so we are here in sunny, warm California and we are having lots of fun already! We have been swimming in the pool, playing out side at the park, and of course shopping! While we were in Utah for a short minuet with my family Cecily learned how to crawl, she just did it all of a sudden , I really thought she would learn to walk first because she never really showed interest in crawling but she suprised me and everyone else and just did it! She is also walking every where...with our help, she basically uses her crawling skills to get to someone then grabs their hands so she can stand up and walk around. We got her a walker that she loves, we put her outside in it and she had fun chasing Fred (the dog) around. (This picture is of me digging grass out of her mouth she got from Fred's fur)



She is pulling herself up on everything, needless to say nap time is a chore because of this new found game of pulling herself up on the crib then letting go for a big bounce on the mattress as annoying as it is getting her to sleep its even cuter to watch her play the game! Kreg is looking hard for a job, and I am just enjoying my time in the sun and waiting patiently for swim lessons to start. Cecily and I will be back in Utah for a week the 21st of May to see my sister's new baby who will be born in 7 days! so call me to play or what ever!

Goal number 31

I found this to help me with accomplishing the goal. I probably wont get to making it until we get settled in CA for the summer or mabe not even till we are really settled in whoknowswhere in the fall. But, of course once I do get the book made I will share!

DONE!

Of course Kreg graduated from BYU I a few weeks ago and I am now just getting pictures up from the event! I Graduated last summer but was nine months preggo and had no desire to do the whole walking to get the fake diploma and sit at commencement for two hours. to be honest I didnt really want to go to Kreg's either but I was a good supportive wife and went to see him walk. I didnt go to commencement because someone had to stay with CC ( I volunteered)

I am so so so excited for this next phase in our life, it will be alot like the last because we will still be in school, but we will be living somewhere with more action and unfortunately be more poor. this may sound like a bad thing to most people but it excites me to no end! I always love hearing stories from my parents college days about things they had to skimp on and how they had no money one month but some how they were blessed with the means to get by. I am hoping to really grow from this experience and have some real trials in my life. and of course lots and lots of fun through it all!!

Goals 89 and 90

Keep and food journal and exercise journal for a month, I decided these would be good things to do now that I am training for the marathon. I figured it would help keep me on track. It has been doing so much more this past week, it helped me realize that I do a lot of useless, unneeded snacking. Not necessarily on treats but just plain eating when Im not even hungry. Its even harder when you are feeding a baby that eats often, I guess I feel I need to eat whenever she does, so wrong! I am now more aware throughout the day about not only what I eat but how often and how much! I totally suggest doing this even just for a week so you can see what nutrition areas you are lacking in and what you may be getting more than your share of...oh carbs why do you have to be so bad for me?

We are moving in 2 weeks!

Its official we will be out of Rexburg in two weeks so if you want your hair done before I go get a hold of me really quick!

We are moving to California for the summer, we still dont know where we are going for Law School but I will for sure let everyone know when we do! As of right now it is between schools in California and one in Minnesota.....please pray that we go to Cali its so so much warmer than MN!

Vegas and Utah

My mom, sister, and I (and the kiddos) went to vegas and had a blast shopping, eating, and being in the sun! We didnt take alot of Vegasy pics so it kinda looks like we just went to the zoo but the animals were at the Mirage hotel where they have a dolphin and tiger (+other animals) exhibit. It was alot of fun to have a break from the cold and to be entertained by Ashton! It was a great last girls trip before I move away! Thank you Mom and Sar!!
