San Diego and some

Mat took an early vacation this past week so we decided to go to LA and San Diego to visit some friends. Here are a couple pictures from our adventure.

*New Job*

I got a job at the Met in Fresno and I love it! Part time so I can still babysit and coach soccer!

Jewelry

These are some pictures of Jewelry that Katie and I have been making. We have decided to sell them so if you like any of these are have an i dea of a color or style that you like, we can make them!

*LIfe Changing*

I just found out I passed two put of three tests I took for the CSET. I was super close to passing the third test. So apparently I was meant to be a teacher since I didn't take the tests seriously and still squeeked by. I'll see you all at graduation next year... again!

*Puppies*

Well, we got a new puppy. Mat's Mom's dogs had four cute little rat terriers in March and she gave us one of them. He is black and white, very rambunctious, and loves Waldo. We named him Bryson after the Author, Bill Bryson. Here are a couple pictures of the two boys.

Tug-o-war is their favorite game. Waldo is a little stronger than Bryson so sometimes Bryson gets dragged. Its pretty funny to watch.
And here are my boys. So cute! Best friends!

*Trip so Far*

Katie and I have had a great trip so far! Our first night on the road we stayed at an RV Park in Lake Shasta. It wasn't too bad, not the place we had planned on, but it worked!

This is a picture of Mount Shasta from I5 on our way to Crater Lake. It was really hot where we were and no snow and very clear! We had a great view of Shasta.

This is a picture of Katie and me our first night with our super cool kids headlights in the tent. We were really excited!

Katie and me at Crater Lake! It was so warm and clear and beautiful!

This is our campsite at Susan Creek on the Umpqua River between Crater Lake and Roseburg. It was a gorgeous campground.

We are now in Hillsboro, a suburb of Portland, getting ready for Katie's cousin's wedding. On Sunday we are going to Hood River.

*Morro Bay and Bible Party*

We went camping this weekend in Morro Bay with my parents and some of the Pizza Night crew. We had a great time! Waldo enjoyed his first camping experience, we got to see the Easter Chicken, and tested out all of our new camping equipment that we got for the wedding. We also did a couple of hikes, which seemed to tire my Dad and Mat out.

Here they are, napping in our new chairs in the sun!
This is a picture of our little family overlooking the mudflats in Morro Bay on our hike through the Elfin Forrest. So cool! And WINDY!

Along with our camping excursions, we decided to have an Easter party last thursday. The theme was to dress up as someone or something from the Bible. Not everyone came, but everyone who did dressed up. It was great! I love seeing everyone and dressing up just adds a little flair to the evening. Here is a picture of Tessa, Katie and Me, late in the evening.

We had had quite a few margaritas and a couple games of beer pong by this time.

Tommy and Josh dressed up as Mormon Missionaries. That's my pink bike helemt.

This was taken at the beginning of the night. Katie was Eve (thus the apple), Melissa was Mary Magdalene, I was the Seventh Commandment (Thou shall not committ adultery), and Katie was the "virgin" Mary.

We had a great Spring Break, eventhough neither of us actually has a spring break now. Thanks to everyone who made it what it was!

What did you do for Easter?
