Roman used a magnet to take his pictures on the whole trip. So cute. This was at the Monterey Aquarium.
While traveling on the absolutely gorgeous Highway 1 we stopped at appealing exits along the way. This was a cute little dutch town that my parents recommended to us. It was one of our favorite spots being as I was born in Holland.
Roman and Clayton of course absolutely loved the Sandiego Zoo.

We turned on some summer music and weeded my parents house that they are trying to sell

Clayton was tired of the snow so he made 6 snowmen so he could see the green grass in his parents backyard.

Much to tell...

2009-07-12T20:38:00.000-07:00

I haven't updated my blog in way too long. Just a little update. We moved again! Better home, better city, better situation, etc. Clayton decided to go back to school! Wahoo. He is now in school and he is working towards getting another Bachelors. He decided He wants to do something with his passion for Biology. He wants to keep going after he gets his double bachelors to get a master's etc. So we are on the start of a long journey. But we are very very excited about it. We are really enjoying life right now. Between our old job and our new job we took a two month vacation so we will also include pics of our road trip from:

Layton to Vegas , where we stayed with Dayna and Kyle,

LA, we stayed with Tawny and Scott,

Another part of La, we stayed with Mckay and Elizabeth.

And then up Highway one.

We stopped at my home town Folsom to see my family and friends.

and then kept going up the one all the way up to Oregon

and then over to Burley, Idaho Clayton's home town and then back to Utah.

We were homeless for two months and became temporary traveling bums until our new job started on May 1st. And school started May 18th. It was a lot of fun.

Joslyn and I Surprised Meagan

2008-10-13T10:33:00.000-07:00

Joslyn did so good on our four hour trip to Rexburg and just as good on the way back. She didn't cry once. Clayton and Roman stayed in Layton while we took a girls trip to Surprise Meagan by showing up to her Baby shower. She is 7 months along with a baby girl.

The night of the baby shower Joslyn and I had a girl's night with Meagan and Sarah. That was the second time Sarah and I ate Mill hollow sandwiches that day. They make my favorite sandwich and I haven't had one since I graduated from BYUI over 2 years ago.

We were roommates for 2 years until our Men stole us away from each other.

Clayton's sister Hillary and her husband Mike took care of us while we were there. We always love spending time with them.

Our New Dwelling

2008-10-13T09:41:00.000-07:00

This is our office that is attached to our apartment. We rent out the storage units and take payments here. Most of the time it's really slow but there are days were it is consistently busy. You can see a little of Clayton's Desk behind that open door. This is were he spends time researching Biology etc.

This is my little studio where I record my songs.

Joslyn and Roman share a room, which is big and cute but it had laundry everywhere when I was taking pictures so I will post a picture of that room later. But this is our living room connected to the kitchen slash our master bedroom.

We Love Layton

2008-10-13T09:14:00.000-07:00

Layton, UT is a really good community. We love the people and the shopping. These pictures are of us at a big beautiful park near by.

Joslyn Loves the feel of grass. When Roman was her age he hated it and would cry. It's fun to see their different personalities.

Roman already loves girls and follows them around. Here he is making himself look good incase he sees a girl when we are out on the town.

Our little monkey.

It's getting cold out already!

Our Big Move!

2008-10-13T09:00:00.000-07:00

And then we made our big move. This was our old small yard and now..........

We have all the room in the world to play, ride bikes, rollerblade, and we can be as loud as we want because we don't have any neighbors! We feel like we live out in the country. We love it!

Roman would live and sleep outside if he could.

Some of the things we do in the Handy home

My Mom plays the guitar and now I am attempting it.

Roman is carrying on the tradition now too. He sings at the top of his lungs while making all kinds of cool sounds with the guitar. Joslyn actually loves to play the string with her little fingers too. It's good to start them young right? haha

Roman and Joslyn love each other so much. They already love to play together and they make each other laugh everyday.

We did it!!!

2008-09-17T14:52:00.000-07:00

Our plan is coming together and we have made the transition into our new home. We know this is where we are supposed to be for right now. We are excited for our future plans. Clayton has the camera; otherwise I would put some pictures up. I will soon. Joslyn is almost Crawling and Roman is talking like crazy. He is so excited about learning. Joslyn and Roman make each other laugh everyday. Hearing them laugh together is so heart warming. I melt every time. My sister Shanon moved near us and so Roman is having so much fun getting to know her Aunt Shanon. He asks me if he can call her everyday. Clayton's Frogs had babies and so he is a Daddy again. Frogs are his passion. He would not be fully happy if he didn't have frogs to take care of. I got to buy all my music equipment. Now I can keep track of all the songs that I have. I have 110 songs now. I dream songs. I can't wait to get a band together so I can start performing locally. I have some guys who are interested in playing for me. We get together soon to see if we match musically.

2008-07-05T19:41:00.000-07:00

Some pics of our house before we rent it out. It will be hard to leave but we know it will be worth it!

2008-07-05T19:14:00.000-07:00

We had a fun year and a half in our new home and now we are going to rent it out to pay it off as quick as we can. We move in two weeks.

Roman was born May 8th 2006 and Joslyn was born January 13th 2008. 20 months apart. We've been busy but they are totaly worth it. They make us smile everyday. And that is what life is about right?

Fine, we'll make a blog!!!
