My Mom: the beach babe

I wish I had a picture to go with this, but my camera is not water proof. Yesterday my Mom, Christina Hodges learned to body board on the Pacific Ocean! My sister and I just obtained one of the greatest memories ever. Seeing my Mom giggle like a little girl as she caught those waves that sent her rocketing to shore was one of those precious moments that I will remember always. Way to go Mom!

So much to tell...so little disire to write...

I know, I have so gotten out of the habit of blogging. But so much has been going on to talk about that I have decided it's time to start adding posts again. Since our arrival here in San Diego we have had so very exciting adventures. Just trying to get us all settled into a "normal" life has been a challenge.
We were only here for about two weeks when Geoff's work decided to send him up to 29 Palms for about a month. So we went and visited him as often as we could. Also since he was gone, the girls went and spend a week or so in Idaho visiting the family there. I went up and got them, as well as picked up Geoff on our way back, plus we brought Maya with us as well. So our little house went from totally empty to being full plus one.
On our travel through the desert I saw this sign that make me chuckle. "Watch out for tortuous!" I couldn't help but think "Yea, those rascals have a tendency to dart out in front of your car!"

After being back and getting "settled" in our home again, Geoff's parents came to spend some time with us. It's been wonderful having them here. We have had a blast and are enjoying there company. We went to the San Diego Fair yesterday. It really put our little Cherry Blossom Festival at Emmett to shame. I had so much fun riding rides with Geoff, Jenny and Maya. Sammy was a little to chicken to go in anything but the fun houses. But she is only 6. I am sure in a year or so she will be more into the rides.





Oh, I also forgot to tell you about my newest toy. I got a stationary bike. I am so excited about it. I have had so much working up a sweat on our back porch. I love it!




Ok, so I just need to add on more thing. I know this entry is getting packed full of information. But I just need to put in a blurb about how wonderful my Husband is. He had been dabbling in the fine art of cooking curry. He has made some amazing dinners for us that just make my mouth water...not to mention my face sweat! But I love it, thank you Hubby!




Alright, so that's about all my news for now. I think you are all sufficiently caught up. I will post more and not let me get so far behind again....well no promises :)
