Olivia Jayne Bevans

During the week this cute girl was born, every time Shauna wasn't online, I would freak out and call her and if she didn't answer I'd call Mark to see if they were at the hospital.  Finally, on the 12th I called Shauna, Mark and then a while later they called me back to say that Olivia had arrived!  I got to go down to the hospital and visit the cute family of four!  Welcome to the world Olivia!

Life

Oh my goodness.  If I knew what I was supposed to be doing with my life, life would be great!  Which, it actually is, but I would like to know what is going on in my future, right?!  So, I made the decision back in December that I was going to start looking for a job in the Bay Area so that I could be closer to my family.  I'm going to skip all the messy details, but let's leave it at this...I have a good chance of getting a job in the San Jose area, I would be living with my sister and brother in law, be close to my family etc.  Or Prosper has finally decided to put me in a department with people who I enjoy and finally give me a raise (after putting up a fight about needing a raise for the past 4+ years).  Plus now they are offering to make me a manager.  I just got put back into my old ward with the new boundary changes and have a fabulous roommate and still don't pay rent.  What am I supposed to do with my life?!

SUMMA-TIME!

 Oh my goodness. I met Summer when she was 11 years old...and now she is MARRIED!  Joao and Summer are an adorable couple!

 Karlie, Brett and Zanin came out to visit, it was a blast having them here!

 There were a few apostles at the reception.  Ain't no thang...

 It was a beautiful party and we are so glad that everything went off without a hitch!  What a fun day it was!  Congrats, kids!

My camera died on our day at Dublin and I still haven't gotten those pics from Lisa and Ash...

Yet Another California Post!

 I went to California for a few things...Kyra's birthday, my birthday, and Austin and Michael's baptisms.  Kyra turned 11...it is crazy to think that Kyra is so old!  That makes me even older!  I don't want to think about it. 

Kyra had her birthday party with a bunch of her girl friends at the bowling alley...they had a lot of fun! 

 Afterwards we all went back to the house for a slumber party...Lisa and I ended up getting in a whipping cream fight with the girls...I'm pretty sure that we won! 

 The weekend after Kyra's birthday we had the baptisms...these boys are so cute!  Poor Michael had the flu, but was such a champ!  Aren't they so cute in their shirt and ties???

 Proud grandparents with their 8 year old grandsons!

After the baptisms, we went back to the house for a little family gathering.  A lot of Jean's family were able to come and it was great to see them all!
