MONTEREY BAY
We decided to drive the coast from Oxnard to Monterey Bay. We were in no hurry and thought it might take an extra hour or so. We were so wrong! What should have taken 3 maybe 4 hours took 8 1/2 hours. The drive was absolutely beautiful but extremely long. We told the kids they could just play in the back of the car so they thought it was a great ride. It rained through most of the ride and was very overcast so we couldn't see any whales but we did stop and see the sea lions and elephant seals.
This is how Axtan drove most of the way to Monterey
Once we got there, the kids were very excited to see there was a heated pool
My boys
The kids had a great time playing in the bay
We spent one day at the Aquarium
Rylan wanted to make sure Axtan saw everything. It was very cute.
On the last day we were there, Rylan and Jordan went out on a boat whale watching. They were able to see a few humpback whales. They saw more sea lions and otters than whales.
Jordan and I have been married 7 years. We met through my sister 11 years ago. We dated off and on; both went to different colleges and when we moved back to Las Vegas, decided we were meant for one another.
Rylan is 9 years old, and in 3rd grade. He is such an easy going person and a true joy in our home. Rylan has been taking a Tumbling and Trampoline class. He has moved up classes already and is loving every minute. He is getting very good at photography and wants to take pictures of animals when he grows up. Rylan enjoys playing with his friends and they spend a lot of time on their bikes. He loves the water and has become a very good swimmer. He loves his little sister and brother so much and is a great big brother.
PAISLEE LORILYN
Paislee is 7, and in 1st grade. She loves every minute of being in school and at Rylan’s school. She enjoys coloring and playing with her dolls. She decided she wanted to take a brake from dance and started playing soccer. I can't believe how well she is doing with soccer. She is a very good defender. She is becoming very social and loves play dates with girls from her class. She is very much her daddy's little girl. Needless to say she has him wrapped around her finger.
AXTAN GEORGE
Axtan, who we call George more than Axtan is such a joy to have in our home. He is 3 now and three's are worse than two's. He gives me a run for my money but I love it. He is such a trooper, as long as he has the iPad he sits in his car seat through all my many errands. His favorite thing right now is Super Hero's, especially Bat Man! He enjoys playing outside. Anything brother and sister can do, he can do and loves trying.
Jordan
Jordan has branched off in his Construction career, he is selling real estate and truly enjoying every minute of it. Jordan closed in our formal living room and now has a home office. The kids and I are loving having him home more He has been serving as the Young Mens Priest Quorum Advisor. It has been an adjustment working with the youth, but he is doing a great job.
HOLLY
I am happy to say my life is extremely busy and I wouldn't change a thing! I was called to be in our wards Primary Presidency and am learning to enjoy the calling. I am serving as 1st VP over at the elementary school PTSO board, and I am spending a lot of time at the school. I spend lots of time in the car driving the kids from one activity to another. I would say though, I truly enjoy playing and trying to keep up with my three very wild and crazy children!
