Welcome to CA!

We left AZ Friday morning (a day earlier than planned). Despite the 7 potty breaks for Daniel we made good time and were able to unload the last of our things in the storage unit that night. We really appreciated all of the help we received loading and unloading. Thank you so much! We are mostly situated at my parent's house. Daniel is happy to have some of his toys and books back and we moved Jaxon into a twin bed. He is just barely 2 so I wanted to keep him in a crib but he was begging for a bed like Daniel's. We made the change part of the move and he is happy as can be. Despite being unable to locate one of my 3 bags of clothes everything turned out as expected.
The 4th of July we enjoyed being together as a family again, swimming at my parent's pool and taking much needed naps. The boys enjoyed glow necklaces and a CA snowball fight (pantyhose filled with flour) at the park. The boom of the fireworks scared Daniel at first but he settled down after a few minutes. Jaxon enjoyed moving from lap to lap. He wanted everyone to hold him.

It is strange to me that I planned for the 4th of July weekend move for so long that I kind of forgot to plan for anything after that. My mom and Johnny ganged up against me and want me to stay here in Hemet with the boys while Johnny works until after the baby comes. That means I only get Johnny on the weekend for at least 8 more weeks. Then I know I will not be up for moving to Palmdale right after the baby comes so I guess it will be more like 12 weeks. Ugh! I am really not liking this plan. I feel like they want me to just sit here and grow a baby for the next two months. That is totally not my style.

To avoid the feeling of being a baby oven I went with a good friend to Bolsa Chica beach yesterday. I LOVE the beach. Daniel and Jaxon loved it too. Daniel especially loved wearing his Barbi life vest and telling me the water was "juicy". We were cracking up. Jaxon loved the water once he got used to the idea, but still would not relax his death grip on my hands. As you can tell Jaxon also loved the sand: eating sand, rubbing it on his face, licking it. Yuck! He will eat anything!

We had so much fun! I also found out moms from my new ward go to Oceanside beach every Tuesday. We are all going to have amazing tans this summer.

Just an FYI: Johnny and I had to switch cell phones due to his coverage area. If you want to reach one of us keep that in mind.
