Here in Escondido

So I feel like a ligament blogger because my last two blog posts haven't been a month a part. It is amazing what having the internet can do. Anyway we are here in Escondido and it such a nice place to stay this is my second time being here and I think I like it the best.

To start off, on our first day here Isaac, Elli and I went swimming. We were having tons of fun and we started to play leapfrog in the pool and you had to stand strait up when someone was jumping over you. Now the pool was only 5 ft deep in the deepest part so it was kinda a shallow pool. Well when jumping over Isaac in the 3 ft section it was a little difficult and during one of those instances I went head first into the water and NAILED my face on the bottom of the pool. I felt my nose hit the ground and heard it hit the ground. I swam up and told Isaac not to jump over me and asked if my nose was broken. Isaac said "yeah, and your nose is bleeding like crazy" so I got out of the pool and put my towel on my face. Isaac came up said let me see, then proceeded to say "Oh! Your face is fricked up." At this point I decide that my nose isn't broken but just damaged. So I headed to our room and this is what I saw when I get there.

We called the front desk and asked if they could someone with some medicine and a bandaid because stitches wasn't going to do anything for this bullet hole. So the resort's little security guy came and put some ointment on it, and a bandaid and gave me some extras and left. So for the last 24 hours I have been walking around with a bandaid on my nose and I look like I had a nose job.

Today we went an visited the San Diego Temple and then went and visited this little historical Mormon Battalion place in Old Town San Diego. It was very informative and and fun I really enjoyed it.

This background almost looks fake to me it is just so unbelievably beautiful.

Dad volunteered to get dressed up like a soldier. And Elli of course is telling dad to look at me so I can take a picture.

Merry Christmas

We went and visited Aunt Dana, Grandma Lorelei and Marisa on Christmas day. We ate dinner and played games and had a great time. Thanks Dana.

Christmas morning was a little cold so Isaac put those stocking to use.
Dad gave a Isaac a gallon of rainsoft body wash for a present.

Isaac surprised me with my favorite perfume. He is such a nice brother.

I replaced Dads sludge hammer that I broke splitting wood

Elliana gives Mom pedicures so she gave Mom this foot file.

This is Dad's balanced Christmas diet.

Isaac wasn't a completely good boy this year he got a bag of ash and coal in his stocking.

Elli with the traditional orange.

And last but not least Dad and Isaac got a sweet present this year. (I reloaded it so hopefully it works this time.

What I've Been Up To

Since I've been home I have been lucky enough to see Elliana's and Isaac's sporting events, so here are a couple pictures. Lately I have lost motivation to clean the house so I have been spending my time reading the scriptures, practicing the piano, practicing leading music, learning new primary songs, listening to pod casts, and working on mission stuff. The current progress on my papers is that I am done with all the medical stuff I just need to solidify my funding. My goal is to have my papers in by the end of the year. Also to finish the Book of Mormon before the end of the year.

I have been really enjoying my new calling of primary chorister (probably the best calling I have ever had). This Saturday is the ward Christmas party and the primary children will be singing "Christmas Bells Are Ringing" and "When Joseph Went to Bethlehem." The later is my favorite it is really a pretty song.

This is Elli at her soccer game she is number 10.

This is her playing the position of Goalie

This is Isaac's basketball game he is number 50.

That's Isaac boxing some guy out waiting for the rebound.

Hopefully this works this is a video of Isaac throwing William up in the air while we were at Luke and Kaylene's. The first toss is a little iffy but it makes me laugh every time I see it.
