OUR VERY FIRST BLOG!!

THIS IS SO COOL!! THANKS TO TANYA THE HUGHES FAMILY NOW HAS A BLOG!! WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FAM AND FRIENDS!! BEING SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYONE IS HARD AND WE MISS OUT ON ALOT : (.
WELL WE JUST GOT BACK FROM OUR WONDERFUL VACATION!! WE GOT TO SPEND 2 WEEKS IN CALI. THE FIRST PART WAS SPENT WITH THE MEEKS FAMILY (LONN, SUSIE, MAEGAN AND TORI) STEVE WENT FISHING WITH LONN AND SUSIE AND I JUST HUNG OUT. SHOPPED FOR FATHERS DAY AND TENDED ALL THE CHILDREN WITHOUT GOING INSANE. OKAY SO MAYBE JUST A LITTLE INSANE!!
AFTER THAT WE HEAD OUT TO VISIT WITH GRANDMA KATE. I LOVE THAT OLD HOUSE IT FEELS LIKE HOME EVERYTIME WE ARE THERE. MY AUNT IS VISITING WITH GRANDMA AND BROUGHT HER 5 SHITZU (DONT KNOW IF I SPELLED THAT RIGHT. I HATE TO SAY THAT WORD!!) PUPPIES!! THE KIDS WERE ALITTLE OVERWHELMED AT FIRST BUT SOON FEEL IN LOVE WITH THE WHOLE BUNCH!!
WE WERE ONLY AT GRANDMA'S FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE LEFT FOR YOSEMITE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS A BLAST!! OUR FAMILY ALONG WITH STEPHEN'S MOM AND DAD, DANIEL, THE MEEKS FAM, DEBORAH AND FAM (MICHAEL,MOLLY,KELIN AND ROMAN) AND THE THOMPSON FAM (OKAY SO JUST A SMALL FRACTION OF THE THOMPSON FAM WAS THERE. KATHY, MICHELLE AND NICOLE) HOLY COW IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I HADNT BEEN TO YOSEMITE BUT ONE TIME BEFORE AND I NEVER LEFT CAMP. ANYWAY WE RODE BIKES PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE TIME. LUCAS HAD A HARD TIME GOING UP THE LITTLE HILLS SO ONE OF US HAD TO PUSH HIM ALWAYS!! SHANE RODE ON THE BACK OF MY BIKE IN ONE OF THOSE SEATS THAT ACTACH TO THE BIKE AND WAS ALWAYS SAYING, "MOM YOUR BUTT IS ON ME!! GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF MY FACE!!" WHAT A SILLY LITTLE BOY!!
STEPHEN HIKED HALF DOME. I THINK IT TOOK A TOLL THIS YEAR ON HIS 30 YEAR OLD OLD MAN BODY!!! HE WILL KILL ME FOR SAYING THAT I AM SURE : )
FOR ME IT WAS SO COOL TO HANG OUT WITH MICHELLE AND NICOLE!! I HAVENT SPENT MUCH TIME WITH THEM IN THE PAST AND I SURE MISSED OUT, THEY ARE A RIOT!! THEY WERE SO CUTE WITH EMALEE LUCAS AND SHANE!! MICHELLE TOOK LUCAS AND SHANE TO THE LOWER FALLS ON NIGHT AND THEY ALL HAD A BLAST. WHEN I PUT SHANE TO BED THAT NIGHT HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO PLAY WITH MICHELLE THE NEXT DAY. IT WAS TENDER!!
MY FAVORITE THING WAS DEBORAH AND MY DAY OFF. WE TOOK OFF ON OUR BIKES AND WERE GONE ALL DAY LONG. I THINK WE RODE OUR BIKES FOR LIKE 5 HOURS. WE STOPPED FOR LUNCH AND AT THE AWHANEE HOTEL TO READ AND NAP. IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY AND I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE IT!! I HAVE THE BEST SISTER IN LAWS!!
AFTER YOSEMITE WE CAME BACK TO BAKERSFIELD AND ONE NIGHT HUNG OUT AT THE THOMPSON'S HOUSE. TANYA AND TOM MADE THAT BEST HAMBURGERS I HAVE EVER TASTED AND THE GAMES WERE SUPER FUN. I LOVE HANGIN WITH FAMILY!! WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME ON OUR VACATION THAT WE STAYED AN EXTRA DAY!!
NOW WE ARE BACK IN ST GEORGE AND LIFE GOES ON AS USUAL. THERE ARE TONS OF KIDS IN AND OUT ALL DAY AND A NEVER ENDING LIST OF THINGS TO DO AND PLACES TO GO. I FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE MY WONDERFUL LITTLE FAMILY. THEY ARE MY LIFE AND MY HEART!! EVERYDAY IS A NEW ADVENTURE : )
TO ALL OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS MUCH LOVE AND HOPE THAT ALL IS WELL!!

Hey Guys!

Your kids are getting so big. The last time I saw Shane he was just a baby. Now look at him. It looks like you guys had a great time in Yosemite. We need to plan a trip out there to come see you guys. Better yet, you guys should come out to the OC to see us before we move back to good ol Bako.

Luv ya,
Alla
