just hanging out.

We have had a trying few weeks. I was very sick with a sinus infection and then Jonah got it. Not only did he have a sinus infection or cold but he just has the flu. I didn't really sleep for one day because he was sick all night. I have also learned that patience is something that you can choose to have or not. I am really trying to find the joy and fun in what my children do. We are trying to potty train Jonah, which will cause anyone's patience to become thin. When he got sick the training was put on hold. Now we are trying it again. If any of you have any great ideas to help let me know.

Jonah was so excited to meet Lighting McQueen.

Family from Utah

Hey all, I just thought that I would share what we have been doing the past few weeks. My inlaws came for a visit. It is wonderful to have them here. We took the kids to Disneyland and California Adventure over the first weekend they were here. The kids were so excited because we stayed in a hotel not too far from the 2 parks. We were up early and up late but loving every minute of it. On Sunday we came home but decided to catch a ward sacrament meeting. We ended up at a Samoan ward meeting. It was interesting but different at the same time.

Here is Kristianne's school pic. Isn't she beautiful?

Santa at Breakfast!!! What!?!?!?!

I think that Jonah is getting really excited to see if Santa comes to his house. I can't even put any gifts out under the tree because he has tried to open them. Another reason that Kristianne, Noah and Jonah are excited, is because they have seen Santa again at breakfast for the primary kids on Sat. It was really cool. Noah's comment to me was "He has a real beard so he is the real one." I love his honesty about situations.
Here is a picture from the breakfast from on Sat. morning. It has gotten really rainy today so we are getting more excited to have Christmas come. It feels like winter with the cold outside and the warm house inside.

Christmas in California

Merry Christmas,
I just thought that I would write to wish you all a very merry christmas. We went to see the christmas lights in Chino. We had a wonderful time. It was chilly but not as cold as others in our family. While we were walking around we found Santa Claus just checking on our kids.

Here is a wonderful picture of Noah from school pictures. Kristianne will be coming soon. At least I hope.
