Weekend in Palm Springs

Last weekend we went to Palm Springs to spend time with my Mom for her birthday. We watched some volleyball, hung out with Mark, and had a b-day party!

Watching the games...


Jack loves keeping Mark entertained!


Cutie!


Happy Birthday Mom and Jimmy!!


On Sunday we were able to go to the Palm Springs Ward, which we have not been to in a while. It was nice because my Mom taught the Relief Society lesson and sang a solo. She did amazing! I was so glad to be there. Will also gave a talk in primary about being a missionary. I think he looked the part.

Conference Weekend

For General Conference we went to Agoura and spent the weekend with the family. We had so much fun!

We did a lot of this....


We could not get enough of this little girl! All smiles = )

We had a fun family weekend and were so happy we were able to spend time with everyone.

Kern County Fair

A few weeks ago we went to the Kern County Fair. We had a ton of fun and ate some great fair food!


The nachos were so good!


It was about 95 degrees so we could not resist this cherry and lime icee.


Fair food is the best!


I got to see a real Florida alligator for the first time!


Check this out! They were all around at the fair "Sheriff Gang Unit." We are not in La Grande anymore!


We watched a BMX bike show. They were pretty good!


Tri-tip


I love corn on the cob...


Fresh cinnamon rolls...


It was worth every penny!


We had a great time at the fair! I loved spending time with Jack on date night!

Our good friends, the Burrups, from Rexburg are staying just a couple of hours from us, so we took a little trip to see them! We went to Downtown Disney since their hotel is right across the street. We had a blast! We miss you already Aaron and Vivian!!











We were also able to spend time with this cutie!



Jack holding Mark for the first time.



We watched Sarah play volleyball and then celebrated Will's 11th birthday. Happy Bithday Will!!!



Out to dinner with the family



We had such a fun weekend! Can't wait until we visit again!

Mark James

My sister Ann-Marie had her beautiful baby boy last week. I was at the hospital with them and was in charge of taking the pictures. Here are a few.

Congrats Ann-Marie and Jimmy! We are so happy for you guys!

U.S. Open

Yesterday we went to the U.S. Open to watch our Uncle Tyler surf. He surfed in the longboard invitational and we were able to get passes to watch him and go into the athletes tent. Tyler did awesome and made it to the final round, which was today. We had a blast watching him and all the other pro-surfers. Jack and Jimmy were in heaven! They got pictures with their favorite surfers and were so excited the whole day!



Here is Jack and Jimmy with Kelly Slater. This was just after he finished his heat and was back by the showers. They didn't stop smiling the rest of the day!



We were able to see Rob Machado. He was so cool!

Here is our uncle, Tyler Hatzikian.




Kelly Slater




Jack got this cool picture of Kelly surfing under the pier. The crowd went crazy when Kelly stayed on the wave and went under the pier.



These next few pictures are of Rob Machado. He was so fun to watch.

Thanks to Kathy and Tyler for making it such an amazing day!

Happy 4th!

This year we went to the Hollywood Bowl on the 3rd and watched an amazing fireworks show while listening to some great patriotic music by the L.A. Philharmonic and Vince Gill (who was actually really good!). Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us tag along with you!
