When did this happen???!!!??

In only 8 months!!....

Lynnlee!!!!!

I love her :)

Moved

I never would have guessed that we would be moving out of this house so soon Ever!
With all of the black widows we decided we just couldn't stay there-with Lynnlee Especially.
We decided to move out to Los Alamitos where some of Jonathan's siblings live which is only a few minutes away from Jonathan's parents too!
The apartment we found which is in the same complex as Sherri and Rick isn't available yet so we packed up our stuff and put it in the Stephens' storage unit for the time being. We are staying at their house too until we can move in! We are definitely grateful to have family close by!

Bittersweet Goodbye to Loma Linda

A Little Visit

My Parents came for a short little visit! They stayed in LA at Michelle's but I was able to go up there and stay too! We had fun just relaxing, walking around Santa Monica, and Eating lots of yummy food (Including Macaroni Grill! :) )

Obviously LA also included lots of cousin time..... :)
Stella and Lynnlee:

Lynnlee: "How about you Don't touch me."
Stella: "What? I'm not doing anything."

Lynnlee: "Um, ya you're still touching me even if you pretend to not realize it."

fun and :) together

Santa Monica:

cool shades Lyn....


Hey Bennett how's the sand? Did you know we're taking a picture dude...!?haha

In the car:

THANKS TO GRANDMA NAE!!!!! :)

Hmmm pretty sure she's only 8 months old, but she Really LOVED it regardless!

Can't wait for our family reunion with everyone in 2 weeks!!

Valentines Day

MIKEY's New Missionary Do..... :) and, are they not twins haha they even stood the same when I went to take their picture :)


Since we had plans to be in Loma Linda and then they instantly changed due to the spider bite, we were a little thrown off but we were then able to go out to eat to Claim Jumper-just Jonathan and I! Jonathan gave me some beautiful roses and I made him special food to take to school and a CD for his drive. Sadly the CD didn't work but then I decided it was probably a Valentines present that it didn't work considering all the Justin Bieber he would have had to pretend to enjoy and listen too :) haha

Lynnlee had so much fun with Owen! She was laughing so much!


It was a happy Valentines Day! :)

LLU Dental School

On Feb. 10th Jonathan's school had "Family Day"/white coat ceremony.
The day before, Jonathan's mom came out to stay with us so she wouldn't have to drive out in the morning. It happened to be in the 80s so when she got there we were eating lunch in our backyard! :) It was so nice, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the weather here!

The next day we went over to the school and were able to get a tour! It was so fun to see where Jonathan is everyday! :) I made him pose in front of his desk in the lab, that has his own personal name tag.

After the tour we went into the campus chapel for the ceremony. At LLU instead of doing a white coat ceremony for the 1st year dental students (D1) and the ones who are graduating (D4) they just do one ceremony in February every year where they give the D1 students personalized Bibles and the D4 students their official white coats.

It was a really fun day!...Until...........

During the ceremony Vicki realized her arm was hurting. She had felt a bite/poke/or something, the night before when she turned off the light but shined her flashlight and couldn't see anything. It hurt a little bit throughout the day but she didn't say anything about it. She's been through a lot with chemo and such so she doesn't comment or complain ever. But during the ceremony she saw a little mark on her arm where she had felt "the bite" and pressed on it. Instantly the pain shot down to her fingertips and up her shoulder!
She started texting everybody to try and figure out what it was. We decided that is was probably a Black Widow Bite!!! We have seen them around our house before and have been spraying every other week for them since we moved in but figured out later that because of the house being as old as it is with it's windows and AC wall units and all of the tree's and hedges around our house, we just can't keep them out.
Instead of going out to eat after the whole day as we had originally planned we ended up rushing out of the ceremony right at the end to head to the Emergency Room! They first dropped me off at home and I started literally throwing things in a suitcase for us to leave because there was NO WAY I could stay there even one more night with a little baby especially! I was very frazzled and didn't even know where to put Lynnlee while I was trying to run around. I bent over to zip up the suitcase and heard a big thud! I felt completely awful when I realized Lynnlee had rolled off our bed and started screaming!! :( :( poor baby! Luckily she was completely fine though. A few hours later they were done at the Hospital and we headed to Long Beach.

It was a fun day then a beyond crazy night!

SPIDER BITE UPDATE:
Vicki had TERRIBLE pain in her arm for days and days! She finally went back to the Dr. and found out she also had cellulitis from the bite. She has had to take multiple medications and now over 2 weeks later she still has pain in her arm!!! She said she recommends Nobody to get bit by a black widow. ha :( I feel so bad but I am SO grateful it wasn't Lynnlee who was bitten!

Cousin look-a-likes

I knew Lynnlee looked like Jonathan, which then also meant she looks similar to some of Jonathan's sisters, like Sherri who looks a lot like him--- but Sherri's little Lexie.......



WOW!! I think they look So Much Alike!!!
