CALLIN' CALI HOME!


We have now lived in California for about 9 months. It sounds like a short time, but when I think of everything we've done, it feels like we've been here forever--and when I think of everything we HAVEN'T yet done, I realize we'll have to stay here forever in order to experience all Cali has to offer!
I think we can live with that :) We love it here!

We have done some fun things in the past few weeks and the other day on our way home from the beach, Mylee and Brooks started listing all the reasons they love California (they also have a list of "why they miss Utah", but it's really quite obvious--FRIENDS & FAMILY! Luckily most have already been here to visit and we hope the visits keep coming!!!)

Here are a few of the reasons we love Cali:

Mylee loves:
The BEACH

One word. Jealous. Are you really surprised? *sigh*

Jared and Jaden had so much fun with your boys at the game! Cute pics.

Are you sure you don't miss the fantastic jello and ice cream that only Utah can offer? Come on, Mel. You know you miss it - they say you'll live longer if you eat more jello.

I'm actually very happy for you - it looks amazing.

Looks like Mel and Co. are having a good old time in SoCal. I'm very pleased that you have elected to be Angels instead of Dodger fans.
