Memory Tag : )

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I (Saki or Eliz) had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll come to your blog and leave one about you or I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Saki's parents Seru and Saki



Reunion


Saki's cousin and on right friend--gorgeous kids aren't they!!!



For those of you dying to see our growing little girl. . . I've been giving her baths in our sink since our tub drain won't close. . .



We went to San Francisco this weekend to see Saki's parents and to go to an activity for Saki's LDS technical college (his high school) reunion. Saki wanted to make it to the ball, but we went last minute and the drive took about 10 hours-we had to stop a few times for gas and Mere... Saki's parents had a ball with Meresiana and though we only got to drive through downtown San Fran I love it! I think it would be a cool place to live, and I'm not a city girl! by the way as of yesterday we have the internet!!! : )

Safe and Sound

Mere playing with the walking pig we got her in St George, UT. Fun Greek restaurant we ate at.



First beach experience :) Mere was worried about the waves and the water was too cold, but she didn't mind the sand too much...





We arrived in Calipatria, CA Tuesday--it's a tiny little town about 2 1/2 hours east of San Diego. I really like it so far, Saki's a little leery. Our landlords are very kind and I am excited to have a little backyard to garden in. We haven't set up our internet yet, not a lot of options out here, but this weekend we are visiting my brother and his wife Camille in San Diego where he is doing an internship. Saki starts work with Weatherford (the same company he was working with before, but different position) on Monday.

Ready for California!

Friends and family, we are moving! We are moving to Calipatria, CA which is about 2 hours inland from San Diego, it's farming country and smaller than Vernal, but Brawley which is 10 minutes away is about the size of American Fork and El Centro is even bigger, so we will be closer to big town amenities but enjoying the hot desert heat--after july and august :) I am so excited to be able to garden and be closer to the beach and my brother and his wife (who are doing an internship for about 3 months), Saki's parents, and Saki's brother and his family, and some friends :). We leave Sunday evening to SLC to visit some friends and then are off for real on Monday, if all goes as planned... Saki is hoping to transfer with the same company and we are exercising faith that since we have prayed and felt so at peace about the move that all will go well with this job or any other opportunity that comes up. Below you see Meresiana getting ready for the sun and to the delight of her mother she has learned how to use a sippy cup (she hates bottles) so we can make less frequent stops on the road (and have happier babysitters).

Father's Day and Family

Yesterday we had a picnic with family in American Fork-I love this warm weather and it a pleasant diversion to get together with family:)



Fun father's day gifts


Visiting with Anna and Steve (he's only 1 month older!)
