Left my heart in San Francisco

We went to San Francisco this weekend for a 49ers game and also made a quick stop at the Golden Gate Bridge! We took a ton of pictures at the bridge because Bobby's work is doing a Planking contest and he thought it would be a great place to plank. It was cold and a little rainy but really fun wandering around the bridge. Then we went to Candlestick Park for the game. This was the first time I'd ever been to an NFL game and it was SOOOO exciting. I was so into it that I couldn't stop saying, "this is so awesome!" I seriously probably said that 50 times. Haha.The Niners won! Bobby loved it too which was the most important thing to me. It only rained for the first half of the game then the sun came out and warmed us right up! Thank goodness for ponchos otherwise we would have gotten pretty wet.

Bobby's Birthday 9/19/2011

The birthday boy and his cake!

Bob turned the big 2-8 this year! It was a wonderful birthday for him! (according to me...) He was showered with 49er gifts... which is pretty much all he wanted! There were 'Niner pajamas, a lunch box, and a license plate ring, the only thing that couldn't happen.. the actual team winning an actual game. But he had a fab birthday anyhow! His mama got him a popcorn make which he's been wantin for a little while now! His brothers and sisters all made him delicious birthday treats. And our awesome friends surprised him on his birthday by coming to our house with one of his favorite desserts, Angel Food Cake, Cool Whip and Strawberries! Yuuummmmmy! It was a wonderful birthday! Thanks everyone!

Birthdays, snakes, switchbacks and waterfalls.

Our good friend Justin had a birthday coming up, and we all wanted to do something GREAT to celebrate! We came to the conclusion that nothing could be greater that taking a beautiful hike in no where other than the glorious Yosemite. Me being the adventure expert that I am (not) decided for everyone that we need to hike Upper Yosemite Falls. I had no idea what I was getting us into. :) So we were going to Yosemite! (by the way Justin had never been, that's why it was so special) We all slept over at our friends and hiking compadre's Niki and Barrett's and woke up at 3:30am and packed up and headed out (another genius idea to beat Yosemite traffic, which we did!) We got there pretty quickly and nothing takes your breath away like driving into Yosemite Valley first thing in the morning (that and the semi-smelly car ride there..thanks guys) We headed for the trail, and our first nature encounter.... a freaking rattlesnake! I hate snakes, and fear them more than bears, and I just want everyone to know for the record that NO ONE has been killed by a bear in Yosemite, but someone has died from a rattlesnake bite! Anyway, we headed up the falls via some grueling switchbacks, which I had heretofore never encountered, but I kinda loved 'em. But after 2 and a half warm hours we made it to the top of Yosemite Falls, worth every drop of sweat! It was sooooo beautiful. We ate lunch near the falls and enjoyed the scenery. We also surprised Justin with the best happy birthday song ever and gave him a REI giftcard (so appropriate!) Then, we headed down, which I feel was FAR worse than up, it was slippery and steep and way too crowded! But all in all it was a great day and we all had a ton of fun!

The Davis Sisters

The Beautiful Happy Couple

Evan and Kelsey were sealed for Time and Eternity in the Sacramento, California Temple on Saturday July 9, 2011. It was the best spending the day together as a family to celebrate this amazing occasion. Congratulations!

Seeeesters.

 My baby bro is getting hitched in a month! My sisters decided it would be awesome to all go to our future sis-in-law's bridal shower! So we did. Emily flew to Santa Maria and Ellen picked her up and they drove up here for a whirlwind weekend! We had all the "Davis" girls together. It was so much fun even though it was SUPER short. I love my sisters so much it was awesome to hang out with them. And I must say my brothers have excellent taste because they picked some awesome ladies!

Easter and things...

I suck at blogging. Sorry to all 4 people that read my blog. But here are some things Bobby and I have been up to since March... In no order at all.

We (me bobby and kim and justin) went to visit the Mortimer's in Long Beach! Super quick trip but worth it.

 Bobby in the ocean, which is AMAZING considering he sometimes wont swim in pools in the summer because he thinks they are "too cold"

The Wonderful Wives

The Handsome Husbands

 Bob. This is just very Bob. HA!

Dr. Matt's balding head. (he approves me saying that to the "world" on the internet) We had an easter egg dying party at work!

Zoo Day with the Davis and Durham Kiddos!

Bobby and I went to the shooting range with my dad, Elliot and Evan. It was Exhilarating!

Evan's Home!!!!

For those of you that don't know, I love my little (and by little I mean younger) brother like A LOT. He is so important to me and has been one of my very best friends my whole life. Well, he came home after serving a honorable two year mission in the Tennessee Nashville Mission!  We are so proud of him and the time he gave to serve the Lord and spread the Gospel. He is so awesome. I pretty much wanted to just keeping hugging him once he got here. Of course we had to make the usual "Mormon" spectacle at the airport with a giant banner and posters and balloons. We made lots of people smile though, especially Evan. It was funny, my mom and I were talking to him a couple days after he got home and asked if he expected us to have signs and whatnot, he nonchalantly said, "yeah." We love Evan sooooooo much and are really glad he's home :D Here are some pics!

 Me and the kiddos waiting for Uncle Ev!

Mommy and Me

Last year I took only one week of my two weeks paid vacation, and oddly enough this upset my boss(who by the way is the best boss EVER) so he "required" me to take another week ASAP once the new year started. I told my momma this and how I really wanted to go visit Emily and her family in Henderson. My mom was all over it! She got us super cheap tickets to Las Vegas and we flew out in February. We had a very fun filled week of shopping, eating, shopping, playing Nertz and of course playing with the kiddos! I felt so old because one night I went to the park with my 8 year old niece Sarah and 6 year old nephew and we played four-square, which I loved too when I was a kiddo. Well, the reason I felt old is because while playing I kept saying to the kids, my back hurts and my back kept popping. I was like dude, what the heck is happening to me! HA! It was fun though and I miss them all so much. I didn't take very many pictures but here are a few.

James, the amazing 2 year old iPhone WIZ!

Jameser!

Mom, me, Emily and James!

Super strange building that looks like a museum or something special, but apparently its just medical offices.

Long Beachhhhh

A couple weekends ago Bobby and I helped one of our bestest couple friends move. Jo and Katie are gone to Long Beach, and we helped them get there. We realllllly miss them already but are so excited for them and this new chapter in there lives. Jo got into nursing school at Long Beach State and he's super excited to get started there. And of course, Katie went with him. :D

We drove down on Saturday morning. Unpacked, ate, unpacked, slept, unpacked, and went to the beach. Ha. It was a fun little weekend. Here are some of our finer moments at the beach.

Me n Kate huggin it out

Shot of the DAY! Bob n Jo going in for an epic high 5!

Our FAVORITE picture! Can you say desktop background!!

Jo laughing cuz he just scared the birds. :D

Me n Bob

We are really gonna miss having Katie and Jo close by, but don't think that 7 hours in the car is gonna stop us from seeing them frequently for the next 2 years!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New 2011!!!

We had wonderful Christmas this year. We looked at Christmas lights with our friends Melissa and Derek. I went to my annual work Christmas party at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (DE-LISH!) and we got our $10 Wise Buys Christmas Tree. :D Ellen and Josh came to visit for Christmas which was fun. We went to Grandma Shirley's for Christmas Eve which was fun as usual and Grandma Shirley, who is the hippest Grandma ever got an iPad from every one! She was so excited! It was adorable! Then we read The Best Christmas Pagent Ever with the Davis'. Christmas morning started bright and early and Bob and I opened our gifts to each other, Bobby got us an xbox Kinect! Its sooo much fun! I got Bobby a new lawn mower. And there were lots of other fun gifts. We spent the day between the Davis' and the Green's. Yummy breakfast with my fam and lunch with the greens. Then of course Jack-In-the-Box with the davis' to round the day out. We ate a lot that day! It was awesome! New Year's was pretty low key for us. We went to Red Robin for dinner with Kim and Justin and then just played games and watched Despicable Me (which included all of us falling asleep...) but we woke up in time for midnight! Ha! Hopefully this year brings lots of excitement and things for us! OHHHH!!!!!! BEST NEWS EVER! Bobby got hired for an accounting job! YAYAYAYAYAY! SO happy! Its at Gilbert and Associates CPA! He's going to be working with his brother in law too which is way cool! He is sooo excited! Adios Safeway! Hello Gilbert! :D HaPPPy New YEar Everyone!
