My Very 1st Earthquake

It was just a little earthquake, but still pretty cool and a tad scary. The house shook like something big exploded nearby. I'm hoping to become a total earthquake nerd and am already tracking them around our area. They happen like everyday, multiple times! Check it... The one I felt was the 2.6 in Redlands.

Where the Wild Things Are

15 miles from our house is a different
world. A world of pigs, llamas, deer,
African Crown Cranes, fishing and "Mile
High Apple Pies."

Hopefully, these oh so amazing pictures
and description of nearby gem, Oak Glen,
make you want to come visit us.

Come on! Noah will make you some
OJ from our very own oranges.

PLEASE come. I'm bored. Bored
enough to juice...bored enough to blog.

Don't Cha Wish Your Boyfriend Was Rich Like Mine

Oh yeah! Doc T's 1st paycheck,
and we are 270 bucks richer.
Just look how excited he looks!!
Cross your fingers it covers our
water bill.

The 4th and Twins!

This year we watched fireworks from Jared's yacht w/ patriotic
music blaring over the ocean...pretty powerful.
AND!!!!!!
Our niece and nephew (the twins!) were born on the
5th so we got to to see them while we were visiting too. Don't think Noah loved
the attention going elsewhere. haha--Just you wait little boy...

St George

We went to a quasi-family reunion in St George the other weekend. It was a whirlwind of a trip but SUPER fun. We blew threw Vegas to tie up some loose ends at our old house and sign a will, then headed down for some fun with Jordy's family. It was a lot of hanging out at the pool and at night we went to plays at TUACAHN (an amazing outdoor amphitheater). Jordy saw Les Miserables and I went to Sound of Music (we took turns babysitting). The backdrop is just the back of a mountain...pretty awesome facility in the middle of nowhere.
J also turned 30 on the trip. WOOT! WOOT! His mom ran down and got him a cake and the family all got to give him birthday wishes. Very sweet.
OK, so the "heroes of the trip" award goes to Max and Sean (Noah's cousins)!! They were so sweet to let Noah tag along. Noah was in HEAVEN with these older boys paying attention to him, and it sure made the vacation easier on me : )
