General Conference

My parents got six tickets and gave them to us kids. We got to go to the Sunday afternoon session. It was cool to be there, I hadn't been in a while. And I just have to say that I love President Monson! He is so funny!

Sacramento, California

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

It's been 3 years!

March 31st

No wonder I'm starting to look so old, I've got gray hair and everything!

Just kidding- I've got this feature on my camera that you can take a black and white photo and pick one color to stand out. Well we didn't realize this feature was on when we took this picture. Well I guess I don't ever have wonder what I look like with gray hair.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA TEMPLE

Remi and I made a goal that for every Anniversary we would go to a different temple and do sealings. I hope that we will be able to always keep this goal! Sacramento Temple was beautiful! It was just dedicated in 2006.

This story is proof to show that Satan is always working on us, trying to get us to do the wrong thing.

Remi and I purposely made sure our hotel was near the temple-10 minute drive. Well we had an appointment saturday morning at 10:00 and we left 45 minutes early thinking we had plenty of time. Well it took us 1 1/2 hours to get there. Right off the same exit and the exact same way we needed to turn, there was a car dealership that was doing Deal or No Deal auditions, the traffic was insane! We tried turning a different way because we could see the temple straight ahead, but it just led us driving through praire lands, so we finally turned around and just waited it out through the traffic. It was worth the wait, it was a beautiful temple and we enjoyed our time spent there.

THE SACRAMENTO ZOO
(no not the San Diego zoo)
This zoo was just a small zoo, but we hadn't been in forever and we thought it would be fun to go see the animals, and it was alot of fun!

PENGUINS

TIGERS

GIRAFFE'S

KANGAROO'S?

FLAMINGO'S
(the two looking at eachother were fighting)

THE AMERICAN RIVER

We took a nice sunday walk near the river.

We got a little bored...

We were skipping rocks and throwing rocks into the river. We actually had alot of fun, just enjoying eachothers company!

JELLY BELLY FACTORY

We drove to Fairfield and went to the Jelly Belly Factory. It was alot of fun, but we were a little disappointed because they were having inventory, so the machines were not up and running. But we were still able to take a tour and watch video's on how it all worked, it was quite interesting!

They even had flavors like moldy cheese, vomit, pencil shavings, toothpaste, and baby wipes. GROSS! The top 3 flavors were 1.Cherry 2.Licorice 3.Butter Popcorn I only like the cherry out of those three. But I think my favorite would have to be the Pina Colada and Remi's is the Red Apple.

FRISBEE GOLF

Then we drove into Napa Valley (where Remi served his mission). Napa is gorgeous! I loved all the hills and the vineyards, and everything was green!

The course had tons of hills, it wore me out! And at one of the holes, I threw my frisbee and it curved to the left and rolled all the way down the hill, it was a huge hill! Luckily there was a guy down there, so we just asked him to throw it back up to us.

Sacramento was alot of fun! It's really nice to go on vacation with just the two of us and have no video games, no chores around the house, and no nagging :) It really made us realize how much we are still so in love and love spending time with one another! I think we should go on vacations more often!!

easter eggs

I love to color Easter eggs!! My sister, Jamie, came and stayed with us over Easter weekend. On Easter Sunday, after church, we hard boiled 24 eggs! We had so much fun being creative and coloring the eggs.

looks like... WATERMELON

3 CAR GARAGE!

So my husband decided that we needed a three car garage since we owned three cars. Makes sense right? :) We have my Mazda 3, Remi's new car the Nissan Rogue, and yes we still have the BMW. We are trying to sell the BMW (it's listed on http://www.kslcars.com/, if anyone is interested).

When we first bought the Rogue, both black cars had to be in the garage(so my husband thought), so mine got stuck outside, which was fine at first because it wasn't snowing yet. Then once it started to snow I told Remi if I don't get a spot in the garage then he has to scrape the snow off my car every morning, so he did. Then he got sick of doing it so he decided to put the BMW outside, YEAH! I had my spot back! Then just recently Remi dug the BMW out of the snow and went and had it washed and then parked it back in the garage :( I was outside again! I decided that wasn't fair so I parked my car in the garage and he had to park the Rouge outside. That's when he decided to change our 2 car garage into a 3 car garage. When I got home from work that evening and opened the garage, I busted out laughing! See for yourself and don't ask because I don't know how he did it! :) But at least now we are both happy!

Yes the BMW is in there side ways at the back of the garage! And all 3 cars fit with the garage door shut and everything! AMAZING!

welcome home ELDER MOSS

WELCOME BACK TO UTAH, EH?!

Trevor served his mission in Edmonton, Canada!

So I didn't think I would cry, but after Trev and my Dad started crying, I did as well. It's so good to have Trev home! He has changed alot. I thought that he would be weird when he got home (because most missionaries are) but he seems pretty normal to me, maybe I'm not around him enough. He did ask Remi and I if we wanted him to help back us out of the parking lot after leaving the Utah game :) He is such a good guy! Love you Trev!

Oh funny story: when we were at the airport picking up Trevor, my cousin started crying and not because Trevor was home, but because she saw another missionary come down the stairs and start looking around, she thought-poor missionary his family didn't come to pick him up and she started to cry for him. Well soon enough she found out that he had a six hour lay over until he flew home to Colorado! :)

merry christmas

So I started this blog a while ago and I thought it would be something fun to do and it's not that I don't enjoy it, I just never know what to say on these things. So I decided that I should do a little updating, since it's been a while.

I didn't take very many pictures of christmas this year, but we got this new digital camera (from my parents), so maybe I'll start taking more pictures :)

This year we bought a new car in November, so that basically was our Christmas!

This was one of the gifts us kids did for my mom. She has had these frames on her wall for a while and we have always updated the pictures for her, well she wanted them updated again for Christmas. Well we forgot about until last minute, plus Trev wasn't home from his mission yet, so we just did silly pictures. Well she loves them and doesn't want us to change them.
This one is for you GRANDMA MOSS!! Every Christmas my grandma gives each grandchild a silly little gift (last year we got Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer noses-they even lit up). I was going to just throw this away because I thought it was silly, but I thought I shouldn't let it go to waiste, so we let it grow! SILLY GRANDMA, WE LOVE YOU!
