10 years and counting

Bill and I have been married for 10 years today. I can't believe that it has been so long. I remember the first time that I saw him and how much I wanted to get to know him. We had our rocky start and some bumps in the road. But I love him more and more everyday.

Getting use to Santa Cruz

When people ask about where I am from I tell them Santa Cruz. They immediately say oh how nice it must have been to grow up so close to the beach. I reply, yea. Well growing up here and living here with my own little family is two totally separate things. Ashley is getting is doing well she is playing soccer on her Uncle Joe's soccer team and is getting really good. Getting use to here much smaller school has been a challenge and she really misses her old friends back in Fresno. William has been in pre-school and is loving everything about it. He has grown so much and loves that he can just put a jacket on and go outside to play. Samuel is probably the one that has changed the most. He is walking/running and can almost keep up with the other kids. He wants to be as big as William but falls alittle short. He is starting to talk more and loves to hear Grandpas big truck come up the driveway. Bill and I are doing well we are adjusting to our new environment, and greatful for all the help we have had in this time of adjustment.

Last couple days of Living in Fresno

We are moving at the end of this week to Santa Cruz. We are moving in with my parents and get our lives in a sable condition and go from there. It is wonderful to know that we have the support of a loving family that is helping us the whole way. It is sad to be leaving Fresno, when I think about all the friends that I have made the good times and the bad. So much has happened in our lives while we lived here. William was just a baby when we moved here, Samuel wasn't even a thought. Ashley started school, soccer, really friends and just had a great time. I know that life is full of changes but I also know that real friends last forever. We are looking forward to the new adventure in our lives and will update things more.

Samuel is walking

We are so excited that Samuel is walking. I was on the phone with one of my friends and Samuel just decided to walk across the room. It was really exciting and of course our video camera was broken and I couldn't find the digital camera to get it on. But will get it soon. The kids are just so excited to everytime that he walks.

We also got Water park passes for the summer. It has been really fun to go and have a place for the kids to play and have fun. The weather is heating up and we love our AC.

Happy Birthday William

4 years ago William Barton Chaddock was born in Santa Fe New Mexico. I can't believe that he is 4 already. We had a great time celebrating his day. Since his birthday was actually on a Sunday we had a little friend party on Saturday the 6th. We went to Chuck E Cheese and then came back to our house for cake and icecream. We had so much fun. I made a racecar cake and it turned out pretty good.

Sunday was a totally different story it started with William throwing up @ 6:00 in the morning. He continued to do this all day. He could keep anything down and we didn't get to celebrate with him on his day. We just had a very low key day. We'll celebrate at a different time.

Soccer, softball, school, birthday, house hunting what a week.

This was my last week of school: On Tuesday I had Soccer sigh-ups that I help out and it was hot out in the sun. Wednesday Ashley had her final softball game and it was fun to watch Bill and her playing around out there. Thursday I took my Sociology final on Thursday, it was 25 questions multiple choice, worth 50 pts. It was something that I wasn't too worried about. After the final some friends took me out for my birthday, it was so nice to just sit and relax. It was a great time, we laughed really hard and just enjoyed being there with eachother. Friday was my actual birthday, I turned 31 and now am offically in my 30s. Saturday we went looking at houses. We saw about 10 houses and were really tired by the end of the day. Tomorrow I get to teach Relief Society and that will be really fun. Hopefully Monday will be just relaxing, maybe I'll go and get a pedicure.
