Folsom Fast Forward

Here we are! And soon we go! We could have never predicted that our move to

California would be so short. We acknowledge Heavenly Father has a plan for our life, and we

must go forward with faith. But for now, enjoy this fast forward catch-up of

our lives so far in Folsom, CA.

Our 4/2 spacious one-level home. Thank you craigslist.com for letting me find you!

This orange tree is one of the five different varieties of fruits growing in our backyard.
And yes, the oranges make great orange juice!


We have visited the cute Folsom Zoo.

The lady at the pay desk made sure I knew

"we're more of a sanctuary than a zoo." Take note!


Folsom Lake is a great weekend activity. Above 5 minutes from our house.

Lots of water, sand and even life-guards to make you feel

like it's almost the ocean. Izzy enjoyed her mad life-jacket-assisted skills

swimming in the lake.


Livi preferred the sand, and actually didn't eat it!

Izzy and Livi have made lifelong friends with our cousins here!

Brotherly love. James, RN and Aaron, RN. Say Cheese!!

Iz & Logan, taking a break from slides, swings, and chasing butterflies at the park.

Aunt Lynette enjoying precious baby Chandler. And look, they even color coordinated!

Our A M A Z I N G neighbors (2 kids/parents missing from photo)

the Achee (Aah-SHAY) Fam.

Here's mama Achee with that precious baby again.

They have both been angels in my life!!

And Chandler is already being scoped out by Kami as a potential mate.

This girl can't get enough of Chandler. She's locked eyes on him every

week at church or any other time they are within ten feet of each other.

Can't blame her!

Iz with her ward park day buddies. A fun Folsom park with

a waterfall & stream to play in!

Liv and all the tweens in our ward that

loved chasing her around (making my job easier!)

Six Flags-Discovery Kingdom with Lynette & kids

June 29, 2011 Photos

Lynette braved the kiddie-land with 5 kids under 7 so

Aaron and I could ride a coaster together.

We rode a big coaster and I realized I'm not 15 anymore. Ouch.

Just about to get on the mildest coaster Izzy was tall enough to ride.

Think Lagoon's Wild Mouse ride.

Ya...she got a little freaked to say the least!

Penguins & cousins, yay!

Family photo when we arrived. Notice we're all wearing jackets.

It was raining when we got there...talk about a downer!

But it ended up to be short-lived and it kept the temp very comfortable all day!

Gotta love a whale ride with Dad! The ride operator would

make obnoxious, yet hilarious whale sounds every

time she operated the ride. Think Dori on Finding Nemo.

A Shamu wanna-be, Shouka the Whale!

A beautiful day, all around. No one cried once, for real!

Livi had white knuckles keeping this large, refreshing,

overpriced drink from the rest of us.

Notice Chandler's glaring eye.

This photo was taken before that large, refreshing,

overpriced drink was revealed to Livi-who then had

to have it. (Notice the stroller facing the opposite direction)

This ride was thrilling, can't you tell?

Next Stop-Independence Day, Izzy's 5th Birthday on the 7th, the Thomas's/Nortons

come to visit, Chandler's blessing, pack up the house and another UHAUL back to Utah.

This is all before July 16th.

Wish us luck!
