We were able to stay at the Donohue's they are always so generous. WE LoVE ViSiTiNg them. it also happened to be Brinley's birthday! We were able to spend her birthday eating cake, opening, presents, and looking at Christmas lights! WE LOVE OUR CALIFORNIA TRIPS!!

GINGERBREAD HOUSES!!

Dallin and I got together with my family and made some pretty sweet gingerbread houses!!

California FUN

We always love our trips to California! It was fun to be there for Rory's baptism and Brecken's blessing! We also were able to make a trip to sea world it was cold but worth it!!!

We have had a great Halloween! We were able to have a fun family night at my parents and we ate food, made donuts, and carved pumpkins!! On Halloween night we went to a neighborhood block party. All week Dallin grew a mustache. It played a huge part in his cowboy costume. We wish everyday we could wear cowboy hats and boots!

BEAUTIFUL TUCSON

So we left Flordia and made a couple stops on the way home. Our last stop was in Tucson at the Bowdens new home. It is beautiful we got to help set up their new trampoline and we had a delicious BBQ. We took some nice action shots on the new trampoline. Leah got crazy and tried some front flips! It was fun to see everyone . Baby Parker has grown so much but he is such a great baby. That afternoon we jumped back in the car and headed in to mesa!

PARADISE

PARADISE AKA . . . DESTIN FLORDIA

On our way home from Maryland we decided to take a little tour down south. In one day we drove 16 hours to make it to Flordia in time to go to church in the branch Dallin helped started on his mission. Yes we made it back to the mission. Dallin served 15 months of his mission in Destin. Finally he was able to return with a new companion and experience the beautiful ocean!

We were able to stay at the Bryant' s house. This family dallin became really close to on his mission. They were amazing hosts and they even let us drive there cars here is one of them. Dallin keeps Dreaming!

The Bryant's backyard. Yes they lived right on a lake and 30 sec from the beach. That lake has tons of fish and we would go out and feed them! In fact Dallin always brought a net and he even caught a couple!

We got frustrated with people taking pictures of us so we decided to do some self portraits by ourselves, the timed camera's is a great invention!

Here is a crazy one I think i am going to try to do my hair like that the next time we go on a date!

Here is another one of those pictures.They our actually taken at Panama City beach. Dallin served here for a short time!

These pictures are taken at a beach called seaside in fact the movie the truman show was filmed at a house close by.

WHat a great action picture

Taken in Destin the sand is snow white and the water is completely clear!

One day we took the kayak out it was very scary being in the middle of the ocean in a little boat but it was a great experience!

WHile we were out in the ocean paddling away we saw four different groups of Dolphins we were pretty close to them!

Mainly we went to all the beaches during the day and then for lunch and dinner we would meet up with people from Dallin's Mission!

Dallin's first time entering the water not in baptisimal clothes!

It was an amazing experience to see Dallin reunite with the people he worked with or baptized. Everyone loved Dallin and had devloped a great respect for him. His mission was a great experience for him and we have recieved many blessings because of his mission. Hopefully we will make it back to Flordia!
