Pismo Cousins 2009
Great Scott!
Ben, Toni and Rebekah
It's been a while since we've updated everyone! We've been having a really fun and eventful summer.
Ben recently got a new job at PetSmart as a department manager. He's liking it pretty well, still looking for something a little better, the hours have him out a lot, mandatory overtime and opening and closing shifts. It's nice having him working full time again though.
Rebekah is in Preschool, and loves every day. She always asks if we can go to school, even on the weekends. I'm so glad we have her in a place that she loves so much. Potty training is slow, and as she's passed 2 1/2 now, I'm really starting to get frustrated. Hopefully something will click and it'll happen before the winter.
We also recently moved into a house out in Magna, UT which is where I (Toni) grew up! My mom lives just a couple blocks away, and Rebekah is loving being so close to her Grammy. Our house is wonderful, two bedrooms with a big living room and den. The backyard is the best part, it's huge and we have a huge covered porch off the garage. We've already had a big barbeque and there was plenty of room for all. I've posted pictures on the family blog, you'll probably just have to go back to July to see them, and I put our family picture of the three of
us on our front porch above.
We hope all is well, and hope to see you all at Pismo next year!
Waddell's
Well, I don't know if you all heard the news yet, but we're pregnant with number two, about 12 weeks along and we're moving into a rental house near Denver, CO. Much better than our three story apartment that is small confining! We're calling in all moving favors, so if we've ever helped you move, we expect you to come out here and help us down the three flights of stairs with all of our things. See you all this Saturday!
WARD WIDE WEB
JEREMY & JENNIFER took a day to go hiking. Just the two of us. We went up to Chilnualna Falls in Yosemite - 4.5 miles in + 4.5 miles out = sore legs for a week. The falls were beautiful, the one on one time was much needed, and it was all worth that soreness.
TREVOR was the fishing KING this summer! He got his fill at Family Camp in Shaver and at Pismo offf the pier. He caught around 15 fish this season!
LOGAN turned into a muscle man mermaid one of the days we were on the beach. That sand felt so warm and cozy that he almost fell asleep while daddy dug the sand all around him, molded, and shaped for about 30 minutes.
LIZZIE was the boogieboard princess at Avila this year. She really got into it! She stayed out there for hours with and without a wetsuit. Does she look like she's having fun?
JACKSON almost got eaten by a pelican! We were hanging out on the pier, this pelican was sitting on the railing, Jackson went over to pick up his candy off the ground - right under where the pelican was sitting, the pelican reached down and wrapped his beak around Jackson's head! Jackson pulled away and the pelican flew off!
Thankfully, Jackson was ok. His mama had a small heart attack, but quickly recovered also.
