Still in California in August, 2007

Hello! We're really starting to get into this blog thing. It is a more interesting form of personal history that we can even turn into a book and have sent to us! Anyway, life is great here in Santa Rosa. We're starting to get to know more people and sadly have to turn down invitations to play much too often due to Joel's busy work schedule. We have a lot going on the next few weeks. This week we might go to a lake with some friends for the weekend, next week we'll visit our cousin Jessie, then all of Joel's parents will come at the end of the month and then we're out of here! We pretty much have a mobile home waiting for us back home in Rexburg with a yard, a fence, storage space, three bedrooms, a swing, and more! What more could a girl want?! You may be thinking a house, but that will come. All I care about is a yard that is mine and a place that I can decorate however I want! I can paint the walls black if I want, or maybe even pink in memory of Amber ;). Joel and I are basically the same as last month, except I am attempting to write song lyrics for Abbie and Jelaire. I haven't told them yet because I'm afraid the lyrics won't be impressive until I work more at it. Joel is tanner and at the moment sick with a cold, and cuter than last month and cuter than yesterday, too. Lilly is naughty lately. She learned how to roll over a week ago and she wakes up every hour of the night when she rolls over because she doesn't like to sleep on her back. I can't wait until she goes back to sleeping for 10 hours solid! My sisters (Abbie and Autumn) came to vist me at the beginning of the month and that was a lot of fun. They are both so beautiful and giving! Abbie was funny because she was very particular about her pregnancy cravings and Autumn was naturally energetic and in need of a spanking from a sister every once in a while when she mess with us. We went to Sacramento to the old part of downtown and to an awesome candy store near my house, as well as a market. We went swimming with my aunt Lori and cousins. Um, I think that is all the basic stuff so far. We love you all! Thanks for taking an interest in our lives!
