Beach vacation 2009




































San Clemente was amazing and always is. Brett's family has a long tradition of spending a week at the beach. And its one I am happy to carry on. This year we had over 50 Holman's and all the sun, sand and cousins any kid could hope for. Robert has been holding Family Home Evening for the past few years on Mon. and this years was amazing. Eating on the Pier on Fathers day was a highlight for me, deep sea fishing and the Dodgers game was Brett's favorite, Sage loved playing with Reagan, Madison, Landon and Camden... Max and Mason loved playing with all the cousins, the Dodgers Game, walks on the pier at night, playing baseball on the beach, and digging in the sand. Spending a whole week with our kids was so awesome. They are becoming interesting little people and have so much to say. Brett and I were amazed at how independent they are all becoming and how much easier it is to travel with them. No strollers or car seats or port-a-cribs. Sage is quite a boogie boarder and swims like a fish, she reads for hours on end and helps with every ones kids without being asked. Max loved the water too but was more into digging and playing catch and baseball... Mason played in the waves, but hated the way the sand got in his shorts, he spent most of the time digging and playing with Camden and Landon. I cant tell you how much fun it was having nothing to do and no were to go. Michelle and G-pa took Sage on a dolphin watching boat, and all they saw were whales. All in all it was great just to be with our family.

18 th wedding anniversary

Today is our 18th Wedding Anniversary....Besides the fact that Brett has a temperature of 103 and has been sick for the past three days it is still a great day. I cant believe it has been 18 years!!!! Brett is an amazing husband and is always making more deposits than withdrawals in our marriage...My favorite part about being married is that I am married to my best friend, who loves me for who I am, loves that I am feisty, loves me good and bad... I love that Brett makes me want to be a better person and that I am better because of him. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Masons Big week









Our baby had his 8Th birthday this week and was Baptized on Saturday. Mason is such a great part of our family, he makes me smile everyday and has too many good Qualities to list them all... Here's just a few, He is smart, very smart but doesn't have to be perfect like Sage and Max... Grades don't motivate him. He has a heart of gold and is so kind to others, He loves to cuddle and is by far the most affectionate kid in the family, He is funny and silly, He has the best cowlick you've ever seen, he is confident and can stand up for himself.


This week we celebrated his Birthday with a big family party at our house and a friend party at BOONDOCKS, Brett baptized him on Saturday and it was so special. Mason lucked out and had his own Baptism. His Primary teacher (josh) spoke and Leslie played the violin and Nicalee spoke and Sage and Max said the prayers. I am so proud of him he is such a good boy. Here are some of the Pics.
