I love thunderstorms!

I love the summers in AZ just for the fact that it RAINS!!! In Cali it is sunny everyday and it only rains in the winter. So there is no break from the heat, okay at night it cools off because of some kind of breeze. But still not the same as AZ!! Here are a couple pictures of the beautiful clouds and a little of my parents deck!

Our Trip to AZ (pictures finally)

To start of the trip my favorite sister named Rachel picked me up and my nephew said the sweetest things. I was sitting in the back with CJ and he looks at me and says "Naomi you are BEAUTIFUL." He is just the sweetest boy. You can tell the age difference and the personality difference between him and Raymond. When I saw Raymond he told me that I was much prettier when I had long hair. LOL!! Even though I do appreciate his honesty. We went to St. Johns on Monday morning and I remembered that my soul reason for coming so early was so that I could work for my dad. So once I got there my brothers put me to work getting the trailer fixed and ready to load wood the next day. It was a lot of fun and yes Sam work can be fun. I know I definitely didn't work as hard as they did so that is why it was probably fun for me. Here are a few pictures of the boys and girls out getting wood. One of the twins working hard. One of Sam and Grant working so good for me. They loaded that whole trailer for me because they have such big muscles! And one of Hannah, Cassidy(friend), and Lyndsy(cousin)helping me okay just keeping me company!

hello hello!

So I am back home in California. Arizona was a ton of fun. Tyler surprised me and showed up at my house on Wednesday night. It was such a good surprise. I am so glad he came and so was the rest of the family. It was nice to have all of us home and then some. I will be posting some pictures soon, after things calm down.
We are now starting the moving process, we are going to San Jose in the morning to find a place to live and Tyler has to start doing some work at his hospitals. And when we return on Thursday I hope to have a place to live lined up and ready for us to move in. My goal is to be all moved in by the time Tyler goes to Florida on the 9th. It might be a little far fetched but we will see. I just don't want to have to be moving when he is gone.
On another note. . . while I was gone to AZ Elder Aland got transferred. I miss him. He has become a part of our little family, him and Elder Dalton and now the new Elder. Not quite sure how to spell his name let alone pronounce it. But we love them and will miss them dearly! They are apart of us now and we will keep in contact with them. Who would have ever thought we would learn to love the little brats that live next to us!

Grandma Mickey

So a couple of years ago when Josh returned home from his mission my Grandma Mickey got to come visit us in AZ. And while she was there we had to do some branding so we got her to come out with us and she insisted on riding a horse. It was so funny! She got on the horse like a pro and rode around for a little bit. I hope that when I am her age that I can get on a horse and do at least half the things that she does. She is the best Grandma ever and is such a good sport. She is as fiesty as ever and that is where we get it from.
In a few months she is going to be coming down to live with my family. We are so excited. It will be an adventure for her. Hopefully she doesn't mind the noise. She is just lucky that there are only three kids at home. I wish I lived closer so that I could see her, but I will for sure have to start visiting her more often.
I love her so much and appreciate her with all my heart and I hope that she knows that.

Soccer soccer soccer...

Yeah I know I play on a team that is RV colors. What can you do! But we had a game on Thursday night after a three week break and I wasn't sore ofter the game! I felt pretty good about myself. I was hoping that by playing that I would get my high school body back but then I remembered back in high school we practiced everyday for a couple hours not just played one game a week. So yeah it didn't work like in my dreams, but just give me time maybe one day. But the game went really good. WE WON! I helped assist on the only goal and I never fell on the ground much to my husbands dismay. He loves when I make it interesting. I am just happy he likes to drive me there because he knows nothing about soccer.
Also on Thursday Tyler had an interview for the job in San Jose and he unofficially got offered the job. So yeah it looks like we will be moving that direction. We are going to take this opportunity to live on the ocean for a couple years. They are going to be paying a little more because the price of living is higher but other then that we don't really know all of the details. So when I get home from AZ in a week we will start packing our bags on head on out of Roseville, California for a new adventure!
Well got to go pack for my trip to AZ! I will miss you honey but I am so excited to see my family! P.S. Tyler please try and come down! That would be the best surprise!

A little more from the Colorado visit...

So I forgot to add this picture to my slide show and it is the cutest one. The girls just absolutely loved each other and were always giving loves! It was so fun to watch them play.



And then on another note I forgot to mention that in the Ortiz house they do not call the grandparent Grandma and Grandpa, instead they call them Mimi and snakes. Mimi because Terri loves make-up kind of like Mimi on the Drew Carey Show, but not to that extreme and Snakes because heaven only knows. Ronnie is a funny man and it fits him. It is really cute when Brooklyn calls them that and no one knows who she is talking about. Very creative on there part. She tells people that she looks like her Snakes. Haha

Job Hunting!

The search for a new job is going good. He might get another job back with the same company. They have given him a few options. It would be great to be able to still work for this company. They are an awesome company to work for until they lay you off. LOL! But it is looking like we will be staying out here in Cali for a few more years. But I am still keeping my fingers crossed that this is our chance to move closer to family! But we will see what life brings us.
But other then that life is good. I get to go home on Sunday for a week to work for my father and to see my family and friends! Poor Tyler wont be joining me. He is going to miss out on all the 24th festivities and the week with the WHOLE Isaacson clan! SCARY!

But here is a lovely picture of my husband being his goofy self. Since he has become unemployed he thinks he can grow a mustache! SICK and WRONG! He looks like a child molester.
And a random one of us!

And how soon I forget!

While we were in Colorado it rained like three of the days. And there was thunder and everything. It was so awesome. Tyler loved it. It never rains in the good old state of California during the summer, just strictly burns! So it was a good change.
Also I forgot to mention that while we were there Tyler got to go fishing with his younger cousins so his trip wasn't completely ruined by the loss of his job. He still had a good time before that.

Trip to Colorado for the 4th of July!

We had a wonderful trip to Colorado for the 4th of July! It was so good to see the Ortiz family. They are always so much fun! We stayed with Grandma Evie while we were there and went and hung out at Ronnie and Terri's during the day. We did a lot of swimming and sat by the fire on the deck and just hung out. For the Fourth we went over to Uncle Renard's house and had a BBQ and let of fireworks.(no pictures from that) On Saturday we went to the wedding of one of Tyler's high school friends. It was a lot of fun. It was so good to see everyone. The girls just love each other and it was so cute to watch Taylon follow Brooklyn around. I wish we all got to see each other more often.

The dreaded post :(

So we went to Colorado for the the 4th of July and it was so much fun until Tuesday when Tyler got the phone call from work telling him that the company was laying off 600 people and Tyler was one of them. They got rid of his position and in two weeks he will no longer have a job. So you can imagine it was a hard day and is still very hard. We are now applying for new jobs. There is still the opportunity that he can get another job in the same company. Most likely we will be moving. So yeah no more new house for me. It is a good thing we didn't sign all the papers on the house and that we don't have any kids. We are in a good situation to be able to move where ever we find a job. Just stressful to think about.

Well, guess what????

No I am not having a baby! We put a bid in on a house and we got chosen!!!!! So now we are doing paperwork and all that jazz. It is so exciting and so stressful at the same time. I am sure others can relate. Now we are trying to figure out money. . . keep us in your prayers. As soon as I get some pictures I will post some for sure!

We are off to Colorado for the Fourth of July to see some Ortiz Family! Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

Happy 1st Birthday Lincoln!

Abe and Sally's baby turned 1 today! Hope he has the best 1st birthday. I am sure Haley and Slade will help him with that! Love you Lincoln!

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!

Brooklyn

Taylon playing in the bath! Love this pic!

Ivy Jane! I can't make it any bigger.
