Hey it's almost Christmas and we took the kids to see Santa in the mall.
We're headed to Michigan for the holidays .

Blessing Adlen, Katie and Justin's baby in California.  

Visiting Grandpa Barney with Michele and Larry
(but really these are just pictures of our cute little Asher)

On Friday we drove to San Diego and spent the day with Mark's grandpa Barney, and Mark's parent's Michele, and Larry. The next day we drove to Temecula and visited his sister, Katie, and her husband, Justin for the blessing of their 4 mth old baby, Adlen (Nelda spelled backward)
It was nice to visit with everyone and we really loved the neighborhood in Temecula where Justin's mom lives (where Katie and Justin are currently living). I told Mark I'd move there in a heartbeat (and $600,000).
The trip was terrific with the exception that we didnt' get to visit the beach, I was the only one who wanted to go, so maybe next time!

At Katie and Justin's for Adlen's blessing 

 

This is our first blogging attempt.
Here's a family update.
Mark: Sick with fever/flu symptoms. He went to his accounting review class before he starts his full time MBA program on teh 28th.
Jess: Still on the board of the Hemophilia Association and HOA. I'm going to my cousin's wedding in Utah this week and leaving Jaxon here to fend for himself (kind of) but taking Asher with me.
Jaxon: Had his 4 yr old check up at the doctor's today where he confirmed Mark's fear that one leg is longer than the other. We're following up with a pediatric surgeon, but, what the random? In addition, Jaxon will post some of his birthday party pictures for everyone's enjoyment.
Asher:Spitting up more than ususal, but happy and loves to play.
