WEEKEND FUN

The weekend was very busy but also fun! We went to support my cousin Ali'i who plays for CSUN volleyball! They played BYU and killed them! It was a great game and we love to go and cheer him on! We also went to Hollywood with some of our friends! It was a lot of fun! Here come the pictures!

CARPENTERIA

My mom's sister Gina usually gets a camp site at Carpenteria and she invites us to come and camp with her and the kids. This year Brian and I were able to go from Tuesday night to Saturday night! It was a lot of fun! Despite the very bad wind, some rain, sick Aunty Gina having to leave and go to the doctor, and bad cooking on my part...we actually had a great time! Here are some pictures! 

Nui came to stay for one night and here he is stuck in the food tent!

Some of Brian's friends came up one night to tell ghost stories and hang out. It was a lot of fun! Here we are around the Camp Fire

Brian and I took the girls to Foster's Freeze and we all got yummy desserts!

Brian and I got to have our own time away from the kids on Saturday after everyone left. We went to eat and walked along the beach! We saw dolphins and a seal! That was our last day there and the only day that was actually sunny and no wind or rain! 

Brian and I took the girls to the Santa Barbara Zoo! We love zoos and had such a fun time!

It was freezing cold this day and poor Nui wanted to use his boogie board so bad! So he took his board and ran into the water, and ran right back out! It was so cold!! So he just posed for me! 

One of the days we decided to take all the little kids for a walk on the beach! It was hard with all the little kids and super freezing cold even with the sun but very fun! 

Me doing the pose from Grease, Brian doing Karate Kid and Nui shooting Brian

The wind was so strong that our tent was collapsing and we couldnt even stand in it! 

Brian and I at the beach when it was freezing cold!

MOM status...6 MONTHS

Mom is doing very well! She is 6 months and cuter than ever! We are all getting so excited for London! We want him to come out and play already!!! 9 months is sooo long to wait for him! Mom certainly agrees! Here are a few new pictures of her and her cute belly!

Nui and I pointing at Mom's belly! COME OUT LONDON!

CONFERENCE with SINGLES WARD

This is a bit late, but I had to include it! Brian and I got to go on this awesome trip with our Singles Ward here in California to Salt Lake to attend Conference! We had such a great time! Hope you like the pictures!

Brian and I drove up with Brother Power, his wife and daughter Samantha!

Nui Playing TWILIGHT "Bella's Lullaby"

We also love Twilight. Here is Nui in my messy room playing "Bella's Lullaby". Love it! 

My Nui Boy

I may be bias, but I think my Nui is the best little brother ever! He is such a loving, caring and helpful kid, I mean young man! As he has gotten older I have noticed he doesn't like to hang out in my room and talk as much and I am not the first girl he runs to when something big happens. I seem to take second to a new girlfriend or even third or fourth depending on how many friends he has. But then there are those moments when it's like we are kids again, just us! No other friends and we can just talk and laugh! My favorite is when I am in my room and he is in his room and I hear "Taryn! Come here! I wanna play a song for you! Hurry!" Those are the moments I wait for! So here they are for you too! I love this kid! It makes me so sad to think that next year he will have graduated from Canyon High School and going off to college, me graduated from Nursing school and hopefully getting married and moving out and London(new baby) will be brand new! How things can change so much in just one year! As much as I cannot wait for that future and that amazing year to come, I do sometimes wish we could stop time and just have now! Have these moments! I hope you enjoy it! 

Side note: Nui and I love Justin Timberlake and this is one of our Uncle Jordan's favorite songs! "My Love" Remix.
