Dont Blink!

It has been so long... I started working on the wedding pictures & lost everything, so I lost my motivation, in fact I was done! Sorry you missed it!
The kids are officially out of school! though we will not have them for another week. Richard received a few scout badges on Tuesday, we got to be there, that was fun!
It finally feels like spring, and we are getting our spring rain, we Finally got our garden planted & a couple of fruit trees. Our Garden size has doubled & we anticipate a great crop! But with the odd weather we cant be sure!
Our Ducks have finally grown up, & two of them have decided that they can swim in the pool on their own! We bought a new calf, he is so cute! My nephew was here (he is 5 days younger than Richard) when we got him & he just loved it. He named him Milky Way for us, & named our other one Brownie, So when we put them in the freezer we will be eating Chocolate! Yay!!! He told his Mom that he will never eat beef again, they are too cute! then he stepped in the pooh, lol!!! We really enjoyed spending time with Bryson & having him helping on our little growing farm! He seemed to enjoy himself too! It was fun to get to know him again, I used to spend a lot of time with him when he was younger. He enjoyed our pool too, though it was very cold! And then it rained & Rained some more! I am enjoying it though! Strange as it sounds, I love to do gardening right after its rained because the ground is so soft I can pull the weeds without trouble. The Rabbits love it too!
Our kitty decided to have 8 kittens this time! So now we have 8 more cats on our farm. She finally got one that looks like her though, she is so cute!
Well anyways, though its been like forever (over a month now!) I will Rewind & go back to San Diego... We had such an awesome time! It was so fun to get away for a while. Since we have lived here the farthest we have really gone is Salt Lake, though we have made some short trips, this one was HUGE! Though we could not bring the kids with us, we had fun.
We were able to stay in this Beautiful home in Julian, provided by Melinda's Aunt. Reid & I stayed there almost the entire time, which saved us a ton of money! We enjoyed it so much that we would leave late everyday. We went to Coronado Island, walked the beach all day ;) We went to the Wild Animal Park (which you can read more of on our other blog) We were able to see a lot of new babies! So that was a lot of fun, and perfect timing! We were able to play on the Beach with Reids sister & their families. That was a lot of fun! Reid really enjoyed running into the waves, diving into them and popping back out! He did not react that way when we went to Coronado, I think he was showing off, lol ;)
That night we stayed in San Diego, near the Temple so we'd be close, and so we could do a session before the wedding. There we met up with Paul & Lisa, & because we were early we got to see the bride & groom before everyone else... Such a sacred, beautiful wedding! I hope I never forget the feelings I felt that day! It is such a different thing when it is not you! I was able to enjoy it so much more...
I really enjoyed spending time with Reids Family, I saw a side of them I dont think I have ever seen! and I always enjoy spending time with "my girls" They have grown & changed so much! I love their personalities, they are such an inspiration to me!
The reception was at this beautiful home! The flowers were perfect, well everything was just so perfect! & I got a ton of great photo's! I will post as many as I can! So you can see how much fun we had, because a picture is worth a thousand words right! So I will quit being redundant and let the pictures speak for
me.
Thanks for Reading!!!
