We Miss Yaya!






Yaya left us on Friday and we are really missing her. Teagan had so much fun with her grandma. She is really going to miss her walks and bath time with Yaya. Lance and I are really going to miss all her help with those night time wake ups, the laundry, meals, keeping the apartment clean, etc. Thank you Yaya for all your help! We miss you!

Redlands Bike Classic

Last weekend we took Little T to the Redlands Bike Classic for her 1 week celebration. Every year Redlands sponsors a big bike race. They have races for professionals, amateurs, kids, and everyone else you can think of. We went downtown for the Criterium, which was a 1 mile track around downtown, that they raced around for over an hour. It was pretty neat to be so close to the event. Overall it was pretty awesome. Little T loved it.

Our little monkey

We have really been enjoying Little T so far, but she has a tendency to get fussy for pictures. She does not like the paparazzi. So we have to take pictures when she is asleep. But we were able to get this cute little picture.

Lighter side of the hospital

Even though labor was pretty tough, the hospital has been pretty good to us. Enjoy some of our fun moments. Getting a quick workout in while at the hospital

Jess calls this cruising the main hall (notice her flashing her gang sign)


Jess was pretty hungry after not eating for so long. I have never seen her so happy.

A few more pictures

We just wanted to post some more pictures, now that Little T's head is back to its normal shape. I will admit that the pictures don't do her justice, she is 10 times as cute in person. Dont take my word for it, come out and visit us and you can see for yourself. Anyways here are some pictures from day 2.

She is waving to everyone

Wildflowers




This year our area has gotten above average amount of rain. I love it! As a result the wild flowers are beautiful right now. The other day we went on a walk to enjoy all the flowers. P.S.Still no baby.

Two Years!


I can't believe it's been two years! And I know that Lance can't believe it either, since last night he said to me, "Just think a year ago I was at home getting ready to get married." My response, "Really, just a year ago?" Man if he is having troubles this early in marriage, I can only imagine what it's going to be like when we hit the double digits. It has been such a wonderful two years, I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. It's weird to think that in a few days our little family will no longer be the same. We are so excited to celebrate our 2nd anniversary with the upcoming arrival of our little baby girl.

A Lacrosse Weekend


A couple of weeks ago BYU's lacrosse team had a few games in our area. We were very excited to see my brother Taylor. Apparently my dad and my cousin Ashley wanted to see him too, because they both decided to come out for the weekend (Yea!). We had such a fun time with them. We did some fruit shopping with a local vendor and learned the proper way to pick an orange. Before the Chapman/ BYU game we took my dad and Ashley to Newport Beach. We had a good time watching the fishermen and surfers. And of coarse we found a place to get corn dogs and a hot fudge sundae. We then headed to a very very exciting lacrosse game against Chapman. The next game we went to was against Whittier, which was also a very exciting and heated game. We were so happy to have company in town and had such a fun time with all of them. So I hope these pictures are a little more persuasive than the fact that our water is rated #1. (Something Lance didn't tell you about the water is that when we first got here we couldn't bring ourselves to drink the water. We were surviving on milk, lemonade, juice, anything but the water. It doesn't bother us anymore, but tasting the water I would never have guessed it would receive a top rating.)

A Good Weekend



We had a fun weekend, a buddy of mine from work told me about a place we could pick oranges for free. Jessica didn't believe that they were free, so she was sneaking around trying to make sure no one saw her picking anything. I can tell you, it is pretty funny to watch a pregnant lady trying to sneak around.


Also in other breaking news, we got our very first T.V. We have been meaning to get one for awhile now, but we could never decide on one. This week a co-worker of mine just wanted to get rid of her old T.V. so we decided to take it. So if we don't post for a while, it is because we are glued to the T.V.

We Passed!

We did it, we passed our baby class at the hospital. We even got a certificate to prove it. I feel like the greatest accomplishment from the whole experience was that Lance never fainted. For those of you that know Lance, you understand what I mean.

Week 34




Only 6 weeks left! Most days I can't believe how fast the time has gone, of coarse there are other days when I can't remember what it's like not to be pregnant. I've had some requests to see the belly so here are a few pictures of my belly and our new dresser for the baby.

Enough with the Lights Out


Anytime the weather is just slightly off the normal 70 degrees and sunny, we have issues with our power. In the summer we had too many nights and days with 100+ degree weather and no AC. Now that we are in the "rainy season" as some natives have informed me, our power seems to be struggling again. Lance and I can't understand how we've had more issues with the power or water going out than we did in Bolivia or Thailand. Well the other night as I was in the middle of cooking the power went out again. So I put whatever I could salvage from a partially cooked meal and threw it in the fridge. We then went out with everyone else in our complex to find a restaurant that had power. So we ended up having a candle light dinner for FHE last week. Ok so sort of fun one night of the week. But we've had a few short periods when the power has gone out since last Monday. Sunday's experience was probably my favorite. We go to church at 11:30am, so I usually wait until around 10 or 10:30 to take a shower and start getting ready for the day. This past Sunday the power went out pretty early and didn't come back until right before we were leaving. Needless to say I looked fabulous for church. When we got to church I realized a lot of women shared my same morning experience getting ready in the dark. I saw lots of wet hair, pony tails, and less make up than usual. Well I've had enough of all the power shortages and I wish someone could explain to me why this happens so often!
