Biggest Post EVER!!!!

Okay, so I haven't posted in about a month because A LOT has been going on. First we had Josh's graduation, packing, saying goodbye to some VERY goood friends and our family out in Arizona, then moving in, unpacking, our 2 year anniversary, Annual Palm Springs trip, Josh started his 6 days a week BAR review course, me job hunting, working on some little projects here and there, watching JT, I started my first class, took mom to the ER when she had kidney stones :-( helped watch Logan for a week, among many other fun day to day things!!!! YAY! So yes, things have been crazy! And by now you should know most of my posts are show not tell. There is SOOO much to post on it will pretty much be ALL pictures with some captions. So Here we GOOOOOO!!!!! (Note: I have been VERY lazy with my picture taking lately, so most of these are from my mom or mom duffy. Also, I was so overwhelmed with the number of pictures and I can't think straight, so the events and the pictures within the events are totally out of order!)

Snorkeling at Maya Beach in Thailand. You can't really tell from this picture, but when I stayed really still a TON of those tiny fish swam all around me! It was so neat!

you REALLY can't tell in this picture, but there was a lion fish and a rock fish (i think that's what it is called) in the same picture, at least they should have been :-( All of my other pictures didn't turn out!!

JT catching bubbles at Disneyland with a popcicle in his hand. This captures the essence of Disneyland.

Kylie with her ice cream sandwich.

Logan (my adorable nephew) eating his peas! He LOVES peas!!!

Logan discovered he could slide backwards on his tummy.

He wanted to feed himself.

How could I resist?

One spoon apparently isn't enough for this growing boy.

His baby sign for apple. (It's a little backwards, but that just makes it cuter!)

what he thought was an apple was really a lemon.

He doesn't care though, he wants more.

More.

And more!!

He decides to be content with just 3.

Mom and Logan on the trampoline.

Logan loves his Uncle Erik. He kept patting his chest.

Logan's sign for water. He kept asking to go in the pool ALL day!

blowing bubbles.

Wearing the cute new stars and stripes bathing suit from Noni.

Loves the waterfall.

strawberry fields

strawberry stand

our 4 flats of strawberries. that my mother in law got in a smoking deal.

making jam.

all in all we made 27 batches of strawberry jam.

Sea World for JT's Field Trip

That's what I wish I was doing. (not what I wish I look like though).

Here is a picture of the theif.

Get a close look at the criminal.

JT feeding the bat rays.

It's a little intimidating to put your hand under the bat rays.

this is about 0.009 seconds before the "theif" swooped in knocking the fish out of JT's hand and bit him.

my favorite. Baluga Whale.

Disneyland with JT and Kylie (same trip as before, but the pictures are out of order. I LOVE how terrified Kylie's face is.)

Fox and Bear kept tickling these two, putting their fingers in their ears, messing up kylie's bows and jt's collar. It was hillarious to watch.

Our good friends the Johnson's came for a Disneyland/Beach trip. Me, Julia, and Sammy.

Sammy kept trying to eat the sand.

My work out buddies from Arizona. Carree, Anika, Mindi, and me. (Stefanie was on a plane to Switzerland.)

Me and the Young Women who I miss so much! (That is the YW Pres Baby, Sammy)

Benihana!!

This is the patio of our neighbor in arizona. That is one thing I won't be missing.

goodbye hugs.

Driving out.

Invitations I made for Josh's Family Graduation Party

"The verdict is in... Josh is GRADUATING & we're having a party to PROVE it! Please join us for a BBQ at Auntie's Friday May 15th, 2009 7:00pm till the BAILIFF takes you away. Bring your PRISON suit...it's gonna be a splash!"

Some of the goods at the party. Grandma's cream puffs. I'm bummer we didn't get a picture of Julia's AMAZING cupcakes. They are both beautiful and delicious (like these cream puffs).

Auntie and Kristin :-)

Shaun, Gwen, and Kiefer (who always sports the shades. love it.)

Kiefer's amazing salsa

The Slades, Us, and The Bartons. (Little Slade girls who are ADORABLE and baby Barton on the way!!!!!) The Johnson's weren't there yet, and I didn't take any pictures all night, I just have the ones from other people's cameras and I guess once the food was served, people stopped taking pictures :-((( But we love them just as much!!!!

Christine and Dad Duffy

Janae, Natalie (baby Duffy on the way), and Adrianne

Josh and Me at dinner with our parents the night before graduation

Josh's parents, us, my parents (this picture cracks me up because Josh looks so much like his mom and I look so much like my mom).

Our last time in front of our first home :-(

good old apartment #1122

me and dad duffy taking apart the HUMONGOUS bed.

all of our STUFF piled up.

complete chaos. I'm proud to say our apartment didn't ALWAYS look like this. It was atleast a LITTLE more organized. :-)

The kitchen is a great storage place for bikes. Especially if you never cook :-)

Proof of Josh and Shaun scrubbing the kitchen floor on their hands and knees!!!!!

me and dad took the more strenuous job of sorting the dvd's :-)

loading up our semi. (we reserved a 16ft truck but I was worried not everything would fit. So I made Josh upgrade to the next biggest size, which of course was a 24ft "semi". I felt bad)

my beloved dresser that I almost had a heart attack over watching the boys loading it. I was so worried it was going to get dropped or scratched. (yes I know I'm rediculous)

i was really struggling trying to get that box taped.

that shrink wrap stuff is awesome.

uncle craig was the champion of the day (and probably lifetime). paint leaked all over our patio when I was refinishing all of our furniture. He was out there in the 100+ weather acid washing and scrubbing that patio. He was a HUGE lifesaver.

Us unloading everything into storage. (It was also our 2 yr. anniversary)

Adrianne

Josh and Robert

JT

The Koelliker clan.

Erik, Chad, and JT

Me (nice J-LO shot for you) trying to cram every last item into our storage unit. It was a tight fir, but with Mike's master tetris skills, everything made it in.

Just want to give everyone a HUGE thanks for supporting and helping us over the last few weeks/month. We really couldn't have done it with out you. We are so excited for this next journey we're starting in California, but we love and miss our family and friends (who are family also) in Arizona. We promise to visit as much as possible and hope you'll all make it out to California to visit as well!!!!!
