Silly Baby

Even though Magnus gets into everything and drives us a wee bit crazy, he is also such a lovey baby. We get more snuggles and loves from him than we have from any of the other kids.

Just today I found him playing with my bra, a belt, Daddy's tie, and his monkey. He's just too darn cute!

Resin Art

A few months ago, for activity days, the boys were able to make some resin art. They turned out so neat! Their leader just asked us to send pictures of how they turned out otherwise I would've forgotten to even get a picture. I'm so thankful for such great church leaders who take so much time and effort to serve in their callings.

Girls' Breakfast

I had the opportunity to go to breakfast with my friend Krystle, and a gal we minister to named Chelsea. We've gone out once before and it's so nice to get to know some other ladies in the ward. We were lucky enough to have the sister missionaries join us. One of them ordered pancakes and they were huge. It was a great morning.

The Temple

Our friend, Gina Tuuga, from church was able to go through the temple and receive her endowments and she invited us to join her there. I am so thankful for the opportunity and I'm so happy for the choice she made. It was so wonderful going to the temple and feeling the spirit and peace which always abide there. I hadn't been able to go for over a year because of having a new baby as well as Covid. Hopefully I am able to make the time to get there more often.

Let's Play Outside

I love that there are so many parks in Manteca. I can't even count how many there are, and I know we haven't even been to half of them. It's so nice to just get out and play outside whether it's with friends at the park or at home in our own yard.

Valentine's Day 2022

On Valentine's Day Jesse took the girls out on a date. They went to Jamba Juice and came back home with some beautiful flowers and some new fish. For some reason Jesse loves fish and can't resist getting some when his kids ask for them. I'm glad these girls had such a fun day with their daddy.

I also want to brag on Jesse a bit. He has been working so hard to exercise and eat healthier and it definitely shows. He has done so amazing, and I am so proud of his hard work. The picture on the left is from today and the one on the right is from July.

Stinker Baby

Our sweet Mag Moose loves to get into EVERYTHING! I have never had to have a baby gate to keep any of my other kids out of things, but we had to get one with Magnus to keep him out of the kitchen. He climbs the bookcases, gets into Jesse's Warhammer stuff, pulls everything out of the cupboards, and one of his favorite things is playing with the toilet brush. We have to constantly have our eyes on him. Thank goodness he's so cute!

He's so busy all the time that he wears himself out and ends up falling asleep on the swing.

I sure do love this little guy.

Pedicures

Our neighbor, Michelle, and I have been promising to take the girls for pedicures, so we made it happen. These girls are so spoiled. Cambria has been getting yearly pedicures since she was a baby. Her first pedicure was one of my first pedicures. I'm glad that it's a fun activity that we all enjoy. I love watching my girls as they get their feet rubbed. The wiggle and try their best not to laugh. You got to love tickly feet.

Happy 1st Birthday Magnus!

Since my grandma's funeral was on Magnus' birthday, we had to celebrate when we got home. The Huynhs came over and Magnus opened presents and we ate dinosaur birthday cake. Magnus wasn't too interested in his piece, but he enjoyed it the next day. 

It's hard to believe that my youngest baby is one. He is definitely our "get into it" baby and he's always on the go. It's bittersweet knowing that we are never going to bring another baby home, but I know that our family is complete. Now I'll just have to wait for grandbabies. ;)
