Camping in Santa Cruz

On July 7th-9th we went camping in Santa Cruz with our dear friends the Books and the Griffiths. It was my(Emma) first time camping so I was a little nervous. But, I had a great time, Giovy had a blast playing with her 3 other girl friends. I love their little group and friends and what is awesome is that us, the moms, we are really good friends too. I think I would do it again but somewhere warmer(hahaha)

Our new house!!!

Chad and I are so happy because we have a house!!! We started our search for a house 3, 4 months ago and we finally have a home! The moving date is July 1st and we are really excited. I spend all my time looking for house stuff on Craig's list and yard sales! It's so awesome to get stuff for our own home!!! Being in my own home is really getting my transition to living in the States to an end! I didn't want to feel like a stranger here for the rest of my life. So, I am so excited about having our own house!!!

Giovy and Raylee, her friend from church
A proud mommy!
We had a really good time on Easter! I love when I have a reason to dress up my little girl. She got the dress from Grammy, Chad's grandma, and Giovy just loves it! She thinks that she is a princess and she is indeed! Giovy is mommy's little princess. We went to church and in the afternoon we got together with the family, we had dinner, took pictures of the girls, Giovy and Adelaide, we played cards and we just hang out, which I love!!!
