Our new home

Just kidding! Over the holiday weekend we decided to be tourist with our friends Patrick and Sarah and visited the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. It was fun but definitely only something you need to do once. The story is that Mrs Winchester visited a psychic after her husband died and was told that all the spirits that were killed by her husbands gun company would hunt her unless she built a house and never stopped building it. This means there is now a house in San Jose with stairs that lead to no where and doors that open out to nothing.

Mrs Winchester was short enough to walk through that little door

the easy rider stairs she had for her bad knees

Can you see the door that leads you to a free fall?

After checking that off our list we headed to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. It was fun but again probably something we only need to do once.

Later that week we went to the Academy of Science. We went during there night life hours which was great because you have to be 21+ meaning there were no kids screaming. If you don't have kids this is definitely the way to see this place. tickets are way cheaper and you can see everything you want. Jacob and I both thought this place was better than Monterrey.

The only picture we really took. An albino alligator.

Always playing catchup

Sorry it's been awhile since a post. Nothing extremely exciting has been happening but to prove we are alive and doing well here are some photos.

We went to Muir woods again with a first year couple and had a fun time.

Where's my other half?

Jacob and some of his classmates joined a city soccer league. There name is the amalgamators (I have no idea if that's how you spell it). They have done really well so far.

out and about

A couple of days ago it was Mormon night at the Giants Stadium. The Robins family was on the ball and got tickets for a bunch of us to go. It was a great game (they won!) and the weather was just right.

Jacob and Jason, soo excited

In other news- Jacob recently bought a surf board off craigslist and has been hitting the waves.

The group he goes surfing with.

While Jacob is busy with school, golf, or surfing I am either doing hair or getting a mani/pedi with some friends. Kari-lynn found a great deal we just couldn't pass up

other summer activities

While Jacob was on break we got to do a few other fun things. We finally made it over to coit tower and got to check out the view. It was fun but I don't know if I would pay to go up the tower again. We then headed over to the Wells Fargo Museum. Very fun and free! Jacob also did a lot of golfing during his break. He wants me to get into but I am having a hard time. I do like riding in the cart though. Lastly Jacob got to go the the Giants game that was a no hitter. He said it was very exciting.

White Coat Ceremony!!!

Cavities beware, Dr Rogers is here!

A few weeks ago UoP had their White Coat Ceremony. This means Jacob now has his very own dental coat and can now see patients! It was a great ceremony with a brunch followed by a few speeches that were short and sweet. The students then received their coats and said a dental oath of integrity and what not.

Fourth of July Festivities

This years fourth of july was spent in Albuquerque and Southern Colorado. We went camping with Jacobs family and extended fam in Colorado. It was a blast! We went four wheeling, played horseshoes, made smores, and sang songs. We then headed back to New Mexico and lit fireworks in the caulde sac in front of their house. It was a great vacation visiting jacob's family and relaxing.

kaui videos

This is a video of my crazy father. I don't know how my mom puts up with his fearlessness. After watching all the other boys go on the rope swing he felt the need to one up everyone and this is what happend lol.

He was a good sport and put up with us watching this video over and over while laughing.

This is Jacob and I on the double zipline.
