Point Loma with the Holmans

One of our first outings with the Holman's was to Point Loma. Unfortunately no low tide so we didn't get to explore the tide pools, but it was still pretty fun!

Uncle Matt

With the Holman's still trying to get ahead of the jet lag we spent another day just laying low and relaxing. Uncle Matt was the first adult to brave the chilly waters of the pool, and we caught it all on camera!

Best conference weekend ever

It worked out perfectly for it to be General conference the weekend Matt and fam arrived so that we didn't have to get up and rush off to church. We could just lay around and watch it on the couch. The kids all had conference packets and that kept them entertained for the first hour or so.
This is how the adults watched the afternoon session, on Matt's, I mean Jenny's, new iPad. I'm pretty sure this is how conference is meant to be watched, poolside and with a Coke.
This is how the kids spent the afternoon session. Since this is our first time having a pool we haven't really established our Sunday pool rules, and since cousins are here we just kind of let it slide. All I know is the kids had a blast!

And we're done!

We finally got the appliances installed in the kitchen and we have a fully functional kitchen! Just in the nick of time, the night before Matt and family arrived. I love how the new kitchen turned out but never want to remodel anything again. It wasn't nearly as fun as I thought it would be. We still have a lot we want to do around the house, but no more big projects for a LONG time!

Cousins are here!

The much anticipated arrival of the Holman cousins is here! Matt and family flew 14 hours to come and visit us and we couldn't be more excited! They were pretty tired when they got here, but not too tired to take a little dip in the pool!

Spring Break

Friday after school Spring Break officially started for the kiddos. It was also one of the first really warm days so the kids decided to go for their first real swim in the pool. All the other times they have gone in has been more like a polar bear plunge! I think we're going to love our new pool!

Sink

Last night we finally got the faucet and disposal and all that stuff installed. I never thought I'd be so excited to hand wash dishes. So much better to do in a standing position looking out my window at palm trees and the pool rather than kneeling on a tile floor over a bathtub doing it!
