Caraazzzy Kansas storm...

Lionsgate lake and walking path

Our summer home... Kansas City

We finally made it to Kansas!! It was a very long 18 hour trek but when we made it into Kansas City it was beautiful. It's suprisingly very green here and the weather is nice, usually in the upper seventy's and sunny. We live in a townhome in overland park and our neighborhood surrounds a mini lake with a half mile walking path... VERY relaxing! Cali of course loves it here becuase there are tons of geese to chase and dogs to play with around the lake. I started a goal to go walking every day three times a day for at least twenty minutes and im feeling great!! We live about twenty minutes from Independence Missouri so we decided to go do a church history tour which was awesome. I highly recommend doing that if your ever in the Midwest. We started off going to the visitors center to see the big church history tour, and took pictures on the temple lot and in front of the reorganized church's temple... really strange looking building, then we ventured off to the liberty jail and walked on the same floor where Joseph Smith had actually lived all winter long on. We are loving it here and enjoying this new neighborhood. Josh is working hard and has found a lot of success here, he has sold more here than he ever has in the first week, should be a good summer!

It finally got up to the 70's outside so we decided to take some fun pictures :)



Cali's new trick...

Easter and Conference weekend.. with the Baron fam!!

This weekend has been a blast. My parents, little bro, and sister came up to visit! First I got to pamper my sister on wednesday at school and do her hair which was SO fun, I miss her so much already! Then we got to go snowboarding/ skiing on friday at sundance... sooo fun. I pampered my Mom and Dad at school with mani pedi's on saturday and showed them around my school for the first time. Josh took Colby Paintballing and they came home with huge welts all over... they loved it.. and then on Sunday we got the opportunity to go to Conference! I think that had to be the best session of conference ever, Elder Cook's talk was my favorite. My mom made her famous YUMMY conference casserole and we made a delicious Easter dinner and played games. We got like nooo sleep all weekend but it was SO fun!! This week I get to fly home to orange on Wednesday for my best friends wedding in the Newport beach temple and go to the beach on Saturday!!! life is gooood.


We made it to the top of Sundance

wahoooo!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!!

Josh is 24 today!! YAY!! I hope you have a great day today babe! I love youuu :)

More snowboardin...

Josh video taped going down the first run of the night, and yes I look like a dork bending over like that if you know me I do that with every sport especially wakeboarding, its the only way I know how to balance myself. We had alot of fun till I landed a jump on a branch sticking six inches out of the ground that ripped through all three layers I was wearing and made a gash and big ole bruise on my leg :/ but it was worth it we had a fun night! I cant wait for Shan and Ty to come up with us again and for my parents to go with us in a few weeks!

Josh was missing for a couple hours the other day so I went outside to go look for him and he had randomly built this ginormous snowman for me!! :)
