After being in Utah for a few days to finish up the move, My Mom, Kyla and I decided to head to California to visit my sister and her kids. Jon and his friend Nate are doing the 10 day drive up to Alaska and stopping for a couple days in Jackson Hole, Whyoming and the Banff/Calgary area of Canada, so we decided to take a vacation too. We went to Califonia for one week and while we were there went to both San Diego Zoo and Sea World. It was Kylas first time at both and she had a great time. She loved watching the dolphins and whales and Sea World and clapped while watching them perform in the shows. At the zoo her favorite animals were the bears and giraffes.

Others things we did on our trip included shopping, getting portraits taken with Mason and Madeline ( But, Madeline did not let the photographer take a single picture of her), swimming in their backyard pool and playing with lots of fun toys. Kyla really enjoyed playing in their playhouse, with cars, trucks and trains, with the ball popper and driving around the back yard in one of the cars with the handle to push. I guess she is going to need some new toys!!! The last day we were in Califonia was Madeline's second birthday. Mason will turn four on the 28th and they are celebrating together so we just had a small party for Madeline on Friday. Madeline got a lot of really cute girly presents and had a great time playing with all of her new toys.

After leaving California on Friday night my mom, Kyla and I went back to Park City for the night to get the cat and some more suitcases and then got right back on a plane first thing Saturday morning to Anchorage. I now have all of my stuff in Alaska, Jon just needs to sale his car or ship it from Seattle and get a couple more suitcases and then the move to Alaska will be complete. Now, we just need to find a house or Condo and get settled.

I have not posted on my blog for a while becuse my camera broke and my favorite part of blogging is adding all of the cute pictures of Kyla. So, now that I got a new camera I have a month worth of blogs that I am now posting.
