Our Busy Days

We have been busy just like always and I have not taken the time to blog the past few weeks. On Saturday October 15th we went to the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park. David was free, Treyven was free, Christy was $7 and my ticket was $36. So for $43 all four of us got into the Zoo, not to shabby. We had a great day. The weather was perfect. I had a headache when we started the day and forgot to bring Tylenol so it got worse thru out the day adding some excitement as we went along. I swear that my brain falls out when I get a bad headache. I did some pretty stupid things, good thing David was there to remedy the situation. We went on the Africa tram once in the morning and once in the evening. In the morning the driver took more time to point out things as we went along and stopped more often so we could take pictures, the evening tram the driver was speedy but we got to see more of the animals out and active. On Friday October 21 I was playing with Treyven in the morning and making noises with my mouth and he started laughing. It was the cutest sound in the whole world! On Saturday October 22 we went to the Nazarene University fall festival. We had a great time. Then we went to the Lincoln housing fall festival. David and I felt like we grazed the whole day as there was free food at both events. On Sunday the 23rd during Sacrament meeting we had the Primary program. Christy did great on her part. I have always loved the Primary programs, it's so cute to see all the kids get up and say their part and there always seems to be a stronger sweeter Spirit in those meetings! What a blessing children are in our lives. We have 18 days till we move out of housing. I feel lazy with this move. I guess knowing that the Navy is moving us back to St. George I haven't been as anxious or as on top of things as I usually am. The time is coming quickly for this move. We still do not have a place to live in St. George. I just need to be patient. I know that when we find the right place things will fall into place as they have with everything else. Enjoy the pictures.

Christy and Treyven at the Nazarene fall festival. We took some pictures in the pumpkin patch and then chose a pumpkin to bring home. Sadly it has been sitting in the garage forgotten. We really don't get into the Halloween Spirit much. It is one holiday that I could go without.

St. George and Family

We have been busy as usual. On the 4th Treyven had his two month check up. He weighed 12 pounds 10 ounces and is 23 1/4 inches long. He showed off and rolled over quickly for the doctor. Last Friday after Christy got out of school and David got home from work we went to St. George. We stopped in Henderson and picked up Shadow. It was pretty late when we finally got to St. George. Saturday David spent time getting all the last minute finishing touches on his portfolio and resume taken care of. We spent some time outside playing with Michael, Kayley, Scottie, Zuriah and JayAnna. It was a little cool and there was a slight breeze but all the kids had a great time. Crystal helped a few of the kids ride her big girl bike. Christy was a little intimidated at first but then took off. She might be ready for a big girl bike sooner than we imagined. Saturday evening we went to Aunt Alisha's house for a BBQ. David grilled hot dogs and chicken. Kayley was his big "helper". I think we might look into getting a grill at some point. David enjoyed grilling. Thanks Alisha for letting us all come over and bug you even though you had a seizure earlier in the day and wasn't truly up for company. Sunday morning we attended Miguel's farewell. He is going to the South Carolina Spanish speaking mission. He gave an amazing talk in Sacrament meeting. The spirit was defiantly there with him. He will be a great missionary, and such a good example for all his younger cousins. After Sacrament meeting we met at Hector's house for lunch. Most of the people there were from the Bushar family. I guess Miguel had a farewell in Enterprise as well but more people attended the one in St. George. We had a good time visiting with family. Treyven was passed around and loved on. Monday David went and met with Lyle Hindes at Star Flag and Banner. Lyle looked over his portfolio and hired David. :) He told David that he wasn't sure what his salary would be, it depends on David's quality of work and what level he is on. I am so happy. I admit that I had little faith of David actually getting a job in the Design field. I was a Negative Nelly and wasn't trusting in the Lord answering our prayers. We are defiantly blessed. The Lord has been looking out for us. I should have more faith, with all the trials I have been thru and have always come out on top I should have learned. When we do the things we are supposed to the Lord blesses us with the things that he knows we need. Now we just need to find a place to live. Monday evening we went over to Scott and Selma's for dinner. For dessert Selma made donuts. She took biscuits from the can and cut out the middle, deep fried them and then put them in a bag with cinnamon and sugar and shook them to coat. They were delicious, I need to remember this as such a quick and easy dessert. Tuesday we went to Applebees for lunch with Dean, Ann, Deann, Claudia, Miguel and Tito. It was a going away for lunch for Miguel. After lunch we headed home. We stopped in Henderson and dropped Shadow off. We got home at a decent time Tuesday evening. On Wednesday the 12th Treyven rolled from his back to his tummy. I was in the bathroom and didn't get to see him do this :( Next time.

Great Grandma Beasley gave Treyven this little sweater. It has a matching blanket. Doesn't he look so cute?

Treyven

Words cannot describe how much love I have for the little man. He truly is our gift from Heaven.

Another Update

Our days have been full of appointments. Dentist appointments, doctor appointments, vision appointments, PSD appointments, housing appointments, they never seem to end. We have been trying to get all our appointments taken care of before we move to Utah. We are making sure that we have new glasses, any and all medical needs are taken care of and David has been busy with all things regarding separation from the Navy. Time seems to be flying by. We only have 44 more days till we are done. There is so much left to do, it gives me anxiety if I spend to much time thinking about it. I have my list, and I try to only concentrate on one or two things at a time. David has his last class this Wednesday, then he is done with school until next year. There are still so many activities and places close by that I want our family to experience before we move.

Treyven is now two months old, Christy is doing well in school, I enjoy spending the days at home with Treyven, and David keeps busy at work. Despite David's last day working on 11-16 he found out that he might be required to go to FEX(field exercises) for a week sometime this month. It seems pointless to me as there is no reason for him to attend as he is getting out of the Navy. That would be a whole week with David at Camp Pendleton with no outside contact, that's one less week he has to accomplish the items on his to do list. We are trying to set it up so that the military will pack our house and move us to Utah. That would sure take a load of my shoulders. We just keep plugging along. I really need to take more pictures of the activities we do as a family, it seems that recently all the pictures on the camera are of Treyven.

Out happy, drooly baby!

Look at that smile!

I bought this dress shirt for David at Kohls, it was only $2.16 after tax :)

Check out that drool!
