Bern

Since moving into this house here in Manteca I've been able to tell myself that we could live here for a long time and even buy a house if that's what Heavenly Father wanted and I could be happy about it but every time I go back to Bern my heart just longs to stay there. That is the ultimate goal and where we would like to end up if possible but I know Heavenly Father will have us go where he needs us.

We had such a wonderful time in Bern visiting with family and friends. The kids were able to spend time with some of their cousins going on four-wheeler rides, playing video games, and running around in all the open space.

Jesse, his dad, and uncle worked hard putting in new corrals for the farm and installing this archway and sign. It turned out so beautiful and I feel it's definitely an accomplishment to be proud of.

Jesse and I took the kids and John Paul up in the hills on a four-wheeler ride one day. It was so much fun to be back in our old stomping grounds and to be able to just enjoy the peace and the beauty of our hometown.

My mom came to visit while we were in Bern. She was just there over night but I enjoyed seeing her. She also brought her friend Luigi. He was very nice and he knew so many things about so many things. We'll see what happens with that "relationship". They were able to enjoy Jesse and Eddie's cream puffs while they were there along with Atreyu. Those cream puffs are so good!

Jesse went to a Coheed and Cambria with his friends Cody and Soda. I had to drop him off in Logan and while I was there I stopped at the Lazy One pajama outlet and got the kids new jammies. I got all three of them matching jammies for Christmas. I just hope the kids don't grow too much between now and then.
