HaPpY bIrThDaY dAd!

Today is my father's 57th birthday and I can say his age because he is a man! He is the best dad in the whole wide world and I love him with all my heart and then some! He is the greatest man I know next to my husband and Grandpa Isaacson, to whom it takes after in pretty much all aspects of life! Thanks for all that you do dad! Oh yeah and by the way Happy Father's day!!!

Every little boy does it. . .

and thier dad's absolutely hate it. My sister Rachel and her kids are at home in SJ for the week with my mom, when Hannah went downstairs to find Aneron, Raymond and Cj dressed up in dresses and Grant was playing thier cat. I remember the good old days of using my imagination and dressing my brothers up as girls!

Girls weekend!

Mick and Jess got to come out and visit this last weekend. It was a ton of fun or at least I thought so. lol! We went to watch a baseball game and then went to eat with Tyler's friend that plays on the team. Then on Saturday we girls went and got our nails done and then we went shopping. That evening we went to dinner with missionaries. It was Elder Aland's birthday, so we gave him a little party. Then Sunday we hung out at Folsom Lake. The water was perfect and so was the weather. Then on Monday we hung out at home most of the day. We girls 10 run ruled the boys in baseball! GIRLS RULE!!! Then we did some more shopping and then they sadly had to go. Hopefully next time Ben can come so Tyler will have a friend. Thanks for coming girleez!

Jacob Riley came to visit!

Jacob got to come out and visit Tyler and I this last weekend. It was a lot of fun. We went to Reno on Friday afternoon, Jacob has some friends from school that worked up there so we got to see them. Reno was fun, just dirty. It was fun watching all the people. We didn't really enjoy the gambling part of it. I guess if you don't win you don't really like it. HAHA! Then on Saturday morning we drove back home by way of Lake Tahoe. It is so pretty there! Then Saturday night we went to a minor league baseball game. Tyler has a friend from High School that plays for the Oakland A's triple A team. So it was fun to see him. Then Sunday we just hung out and were bums. Tyler isn't big on sitting still and Jake and I are big on relaxing. It was funny. And on Monday morning I took him back to the airport. It was so fun to have some family here. We are trying to convince Jacob to move here. He would love it.
Now I have a couple days to relax and clean and then Jess and Mick will be here! WE are going to have so much fun I can't wait!
Thanks for coming to visit us Jacob Riley!

Soccer. . .

So I had my first soccer game on Thursday night and I am still trying to recover. I swear every muscle in my body is hurting. I can barely walk up and down stairs and I cant even flex my thighs. It is so horrible. Note to self never take a five year break from soccer ever again. It is not an easy sport to start up again. My body can't handle the pain. I hope it goes away by next game, otherwise I might die. But other then my soarness(sp) it was a lot of fun. The women are all very nice. They are so good! I hope they don't regret letting me join the team.

To the cutest Arkansas kids in the world!

I have the cutest nephews and niece in Arkansas. Haley is 6 going on 26 and Slade is 4 and has John Deere green eyes and Lincoln is almost one! They pointed out to me that I didn't have any pictures of them on my blog. I am so sorry Haley and Slade that doesn't mean that I don't LOVE you and less then anyone else. I think that you are the sweetest kids. I need to plan a trip to see you guys as soon as possible. And I can't wait to see you guys at the 24th of July celebration in Arizona. Haley, you and Aneron will have to give Mickey and I another make over and then we will have a photo shoot with all of us. Don't let me forget to take a lot of pictures when we see each other so that I can add more pictures of you guys to my blog. Love you guys!

Dear Journal

Dear Journal it has been so long...so much has happened. Okay not really, but I still want to write about my thoughts!
1. I started my new nanny job. Different from my other one but I am adjusting. I miss Liam.
2. I have been working out so much better this week, which makes me feel so much better. I found a walking partner in my apartment complex. Her name is Jenny, she is an awesome girl. I joined a soccer league. Wish me luck! On Friday I wont be able to walk. But I hope all this will make me feel better about myself worth.

3. We are still looking for a house but we did recently put a bid on one in Elk Grove. So hopefully this searching process will end soon.
4. Gas is $4.43 here. So I am looking into purchasing a bike because my legs don't feel like walking everywhere.
5. Tyler is doing wonderful in his job. Most of it is from home so he is pretty lucky. He has also been working out a lot, not with me because I walk to fast for his short legs, or so he says. I just think he just doesn't want to move them any faster. He loves the elliptical and I hate machines. So he works out inside and I stick to outside.
6. Jacob Riley is coming to visit us this weekend. WE ARE SO EXCITED!! I miss my family more than anything!
7. I love otter pops! They only cost $3.97 for a box of 100. And the missionaries each eat 30 a day. They come over every time they are home for a minute and grab some. I even think that they have figured out how to sneak in our apartment and help themselves. They are not allowed to eat the pink ones and they know the consequences if they break the rules. Yeah I know I sound like there mom. But hey it is my house my rules!
8. One of them got transferred on Monday. TEAR TEAR! So we lost a friend. Well not really but kind of. We will miss you Elder Cason!
9. I have been swimming a lot lately. And I have come up with the conclusion that TAN fat is better then WHITE fat! So yeah I am getting tan as fast as I can!
10. I got to see some pictures of my nieces and nephews and they are getting bigger. I forgot to tell them to stay little for me! LOL! Lincoln my brothers baby is almost a year old. Last time I saw him he was only one month old. I can't wait to see them all at the 24th celebration! Once again I miss my family!
11. I don't think I have ever told you that Tyler has two nieces. Brooklyn who is five and Taylon who is one. They are cute kids. Taylon really doesn't know me she was only a couple months old when I saw her last. But she is so cute. They send me lots of pics to my phone. I love it. And Brooklyn is one of my bestest friends. When we are together we do everything together. I miss Tyler's family like I miss my own, wait they are my family to! SWEET!
12. I know there is more but I can't think of any at the moment.

So thanks for listening to the thoughts of the day!
