California Dream'n

Now that we are not in Arizona anymore, I should really update my blog.

We moved back to California after Dean graduated in May.  We love being back! Just wish we could move our friends too, we made some life long friends there and feel so blessed. I love our cute little house. It is in the best community... filled with playgrounds and military families all over, its great!

Dean is working hard for the Herger family business now, he loves it. He works long hours daily.. you just can shut Dean down for ANYTHING. :) I love his drive for life and hard work is just part of him.

The kids and I play at home all day. Having three kids and a workaholic for a husband was a bit of an adjustment for me. I find that you just can't rush anything. Slow and steady has a new meaning to me now.. 
My kids are just wonderful. June just turned 4. She is growing up, so sweet, so sassy and funny as all get out. June is a sweet big sister and watches over her brothers very carefully. 
Ryan is my sweet little 2 year old.  He loves being a dinosaur, "Roar"ing all day long but if you get scared he turns into a kitty "Meow"..and wants to be pet and loved. Ryan and June are best friends, they are so fun to watch play together.
Luke is the newest member to the family. He is just 2 months old. He is starting to interact more with us now, it's so fun to see his little personality developing. He gets smothered in hugs and kisses all day long. Talk about loving life.:)
Heavenly Father has blessed me beyond all my dreams and it just keeps getting better and better. I am forever grateful.

My Babies Birthdays.

 Happy 3rd Birthday Junie. 
June, you are a precious gift to your family. You make your mom and dad so happy. We love your excitement for life and your genuine love. We are so grateful Heavenly Father sent you to us. We love you with all our hearts. Happy Birthday Sweetheart.  


 We had a little family celebration at Chuck-e-cheese.

 June showing us how old she is...3!

 Dad treated June to a "scoot-scoot" ride.. 


Aunt Karliene, Aunt Teddy, June and Grandma Clifton
 A very special picture because.... June is sitting next to her Great Grandma Clifton (right) and her great great Aunt (left). Grandma Clifton and Aunt Karliene are sisters and Aunt Teddy is their aunt. Fun family pictures. Another really cool thing is Aunt Teddy and June are 100 years and 1 day apart. June turned 3 today and Aunt Teddy is 103 tomorrow. Needless to say, I am going to live a long time and look good too. :) Thank you Aunt Teddy and Grandma. :) WooHoo.


I am posting some of Ryan's birthday pictures.. It was in August but I didn't post it yet.
We had a pool party for Ryan's 1st birthday. June and Ryan are best buds, I love it. 

 Ryan is 1!!!! Happy Birthday Ry (morning shot, the jamies gave it away).


Our  stroller loaded with all the sweet presents everyone gave our little man. Thank you!

August in Arizona is SO HOT!!! We have to stay inside a lot because of the intense heat, 112 is the norm. However, September has brought us cooler weather, 103 the norm. Yeah, we can go outside now. 
I love Pinterest! I get so many awesome kid fun activities from it.
Like this is one...
Painting 101 - Tape word on canvas board and paint over it.
 (June couldn't wait to paint. Ryan had no idea how much fun he was about to experience.)
So excited!

My little painters.

There are many techniques to painting with toddlers... Here are a couple.
1 - The full hand dousing, followed by smacking and smearing.

2 - Printing... Using hands, or fingers, feet, or your shorts  :)  
3 - And of course the sweet finger painting. ( I thought we were going to be outside for a while. June was actually painting a "dragon" if you didn't notice.)

An Artist pleased with his creation.

This bike was pink...



 Finishing up painting, beginning playing. I love how much my kids love each other.

 All done. That my friends is how we paint. 
I can't wait for our next project.

Random update

 We love when family comes to visit. :) Our brother in law Jim and nephew Bobby came out to Arizona to visit Cassie (our niece) and that means we get to see them too. It was such a treat. 
Bobby has joined the Marines and is starting boot camp next month. We are so proud of him. He is going to make an excellent Marine. 

 Bobby was "training" Ryan. 
Bobby would roll the ball and Ryan would crawl after it, he LOVED it.

Ryan had so much fun with Bobby. 
Bobby,  you are a great example to your younger cousins, Thank you.



 Dean, Ryan and June. Our kids love their Daddy.

Dean had a week in between summer school and his semester. I had a list of things I wanted him to do around the house. One, was to put up the curtains in our room...
These pictures show why we can't get more than one thing done in our house....
Dean found a sticky something in the box we didn't use... (on the curtains anyway).

 the kids thought this was so funny...

 So did we...

Having kids is all about having fun. Life is WONDERFUL!

Easter 2012

These pictures are out of order but they were all taken Easter Sunday.

June is wearing a lovely dress that Aunt Cara bought her. June loves to look pretty, such a girl, I love it! She is my little companion, we do EVERYTHING together. This is the good life.
This is our niece Cassi, she is living with us. It is so nice having family around, we are so grateful.
We love any oppertunity to take family pictures. :) June is 2 1/2 and Ryan is 7 months.
Look how handsome my boys are... I love them so much.
June was such a help dying the Easter Eggs. She was simple amazed that the eggs would turn colors. (Yes, she is a little dirt ball. And I love this smile of hers, such personality.)
Easter Morning
Thank goodness the Easter Bunny know we get up early around. 6am isn't to early to hunt eggs right?? Ha Ha, June and Ryan don't think so.. :)
Ryan's 1st Easter! He loved the basket more than anything.
We sure do love our little kiddos, life is SO GOOD.. My heart sould burst. I can't thank my Savoir enough for what he did for me and for my little ones. It is so true, if you live His teachings you WILL have great Joy.

June and Ryan

"Ms. Junie"
We are so blessed to have such a darling daughter. June is at such a fun stage in life. We play outside all day long. She sings sweet songs to Ryan and I, makes us yummy soup, cookies and tea. Truely the greatest joy in life is being a mother.

Sweet Ryan
Truely a sweet boy..Our little man is a lovie. He loves watching June. Every glance June gives him gets a BIG smile in return, EVERY TIME. It is so touching to see brothers and sisters love each other, we are looking forward to adding more smiles.

This is what I am talking about... February in Arizona = Popsicle weather
June couldn't agree more!

I love this picture of June.

I can't believe Ryan, my little snuggle is 6 months old. He is so CUTE!
Our little family is growing, we love it! June and Ryan make our lives so simple and fun. Heavenly Father has blessed beyond our greatest dreams.
