La Jolla Beach

The sky was beautiful and the ocean is very relaxing. We took a drive and ended up here. Down below there are sea lions laying on the beach.

Olivia Ruth Boone

Introducing Livvy!!!

Livvy is our blue eyed sweet heart. Her personality is happy, peaceful and content. She was born May 27, 20009 in Show Low, AZ. She arrived one week early on a Wednesday at 5:38 pm. She weighed 7lb 10 oz and was 21 inches long. Grandma Boone was able to be our Nurse which was a special treat. Ty and Rissy love their little sis. She was well received! Rissy constantly puts her Dolly on top of Livvy in her bouncer so she will have a friend. Ty is very willing to race and get a diaper or the wipes (Unless his muscles run out of energy. . . of course.)

I really didn't know what to expect having three children but I am enjoying myself part of that is because I am finally home full time! I LOVE being just a mommy and wife! I get out more with 3 kids than when I had 2 kids. I have found that one of the best ways to restore sanity to the house is to simply LEAVE THE HOUSE. Leaving gives me just enough distance to realize the peace I do feel in my home with my children. The picture with Josh and Livvy is in our living room in San Diego and is a pretty common sight. Josh has the magic touch when it comes to putting Liv down for a nap. . . he usually joins the party. His 80 hour work weeks catch up with him.
Riss and Liv fell asleep after story time one afternoon and I had to capture their cute little hands, they grow so fast it makes my heart ache.

Staring at my girls sleeping made me dream of all the fun we are going to have together. I loved growing up with my 4 sisters each one holds a special and tender place in my heart.

Ty doesn't know what he is in for with 2 sisters :) He told me that he thinks he needs another baby but not until he's 7 and it doesn't have to be a girl. That Ty of mine is a thinker I like it.

Livvy is a cheery baby she will smile at everyone, she charms the members of our ward with her dancing blue eyes and rosy cheeks.

People in San Diego are quite friendly and kind we are enjoying the city and all it has to offer.

Residency is right around the corner!

San Diego Here we come
It's official we are going to California for 3 years. Josh will be graduating with a Doctorate in Podiactric Medicine early June and Starting residency June 12th. The weather is beautiful and there are many things to do in San Diego. I'm looking forward to moving to a new place and enjoying a new adventure. I'm 4 weeks away from my due date of a new baby girl. I'm excited Marissa will have a "girl friend" she had been surrounded by boys most of her life. We are working on getting a house to rent and we finally bit the bullets and got a bigger vehicle. Ok Ok it's mini van. I love it but Josh has declared it is my van and he would rather not be known as a mini van guy, but deep down I think it's growing on him. Some day he can get that truck he is always thinking about just not this day. I love Josh and I am very happy that he has done so well in medical school. He is truly a smarty pants.

Ty Wisdom

Lately my attention has been captured by the wisdom and explainations of my 3 year old. I love that he is growing up but I really love hearing his take on things. For example the other night we were driving home and Ty was looking out his window and he exclaimed "Mom a piece of the moon broke off" there was a half moon and he was sure that a piece had fallen off and it needed to be fixed. After we talked about why he could only see a piece of the moon he declared, " Can you turn off the moon Mom." I guess he was ready for some sleep and it was just too bright.

This week Josh flew to Miami for a school meeting and he was telling Ty that he would be going to Miami. Ty turned very serious and said, " Not My Ami, Dad . . . Your Ami" It made me smile.

I was driving Ty home from preschool one day and he started explaining our families hair. He said mom has pretty hair, Rissy has soft hair, Dad has pokey hair and I have tweaky hair. :) Ty does have very thick hair which has a mind of it's own with cowlicks to spare or tweaks as he calls them.

Last of all Ty shared his wisdom of his life with me (most of these conversations occur in the car) He said, "Mom I used to be little but now I'm growing." I couldn't argue with that and he was so serious I could tell he had really been thinking about it.

Well there are some insights into Ty's mind. I love that kid he is very observant which can be good and tricky at the same time.
