A fun filled week

We had an exciting week this week. It first started out by Cory and Jessica coming to visit on Monday. We had a lot of fun walking by the beach and then walking through downtown Ventura. We are happy that they are only an hour away. We hope we can do more visits together. Brady is getting so big!!






Well we have finally decided to cut Enzo's hair and Mark did a great job. Mark wanted his son to have the same haircut as him, and it is so cute. Enzo stayed still the whole time.

Before

After

For those that don't know Mark is finally off of break in. That means that he is all by himself. Break in lasts for the first 3 months, and some officers stay on for longer. Mark loves it, and we do to! It has been raining a lot lately and so Mark has been working a little bit more since their have been a lot of accidents. He was able to come home for dinner because he actually was in the area for once, so the kids were excited. Especially Enzo.

Enzo turns 1

We can't believe it has been 1 year since we had Enzo! Enzo's birthday is January 12, but we were able to make a visit North to celebrate Enzo's birthday and get some things done at the house so we celebrated it early.

Our Christmas holiday!

We had a great Christmas this year! We had to go the weekend before Christmas to Fresno and Madera because Mark had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas night. Were grateful to be able to spend time with family. We started out at Marks family the first night, and it was awesome to see Enzo open his first gift. Saturday night we were able to see Joel and Melanie, who we haven't seen in a long time! Kaelyn and Enzo had a lot of fun, and thanks Grandma Sherry for the purple dress up dress. I don't think Kaelyn has gone a day with out wearing it! Christmas eve and Christmas day, was really exciting getting ready for the big day. We went to the Holbrooks for a great dinner, and played games and had a blast. Christmas morning we really had to try to wake up Kaelyn, since the night before she was so excited she couldn't sleep. Finally she came down, did a little screaming, and couldn't stop opening gifts. We finished Christmas with a great dinner, and were so exhausted we couldn't wait to go to bed!

Holly had to work:(

Enzo's First Gift!

Knotts Berry Farm

Our family had a lot of fun at Knotts Berry farm. We met up with Marks friend Jason from the academy, and his wife and baby. We are so proud of Kaelyn. She is getting more brave, and willing to go on rides by herself. We had a blast and can't wait to go again. Hopefully we will plan it better. It took us 3 hours to get home. It was very frustating, but thats what we get for Friday traffic.

Enzo loved snoppy. He kept wanting to give him hugs and kisses. It was so cute.

Happy Birthday Mark!

Mark had today off so we were able to spend some family time together! We are planning on going to Knotts Berry Farm tomorrow!

Life as a Highway Ranger!

Mark has had an exciting few months. He has taken a few pictures of the accidents and excitement he has had.

Mark had his first high speed chase a few days ago. He was pulling someone over for a suspicion of being drunk and while mark was waiting behind the car to do his stop procedure, the guy spun out and took off. Mark ran to his car and proceeded to follow the vehicle. While he was on a 100 mph chase, the guy made several u turns, ran through red lights and at the end ran right through a apartment gate. Mark found the car pulled into his apartment complex. Soon Mark will be able to go and arrest him. It was a fun filled night full of overtime, and Mark is awaiting his next high speed chase where he will finally be able to use his baton!

A guy that was speeding flew around a corner and ran into a rock. He had to be air lifted to a hospital


Mark was called to a traffic accident to where he found 1/2lb of marijuana and 3 grams of mushrooms. The sad thing is that the guy that had the drugs was the guy that was hit, and it was a hit and run. The guy was hiding his drugs in a grocery plastic bag under his arm when Mark showed up. He also had a list of all of his customers and had notes of making over a 100,000 lastmonth

Say Cheese!!!

I love taking pictures! One night I decided to take pictures of the kids in their Christmas outfits, Kaelyn was not into it at all, so we will try again. I can't believe Enzo will be 1 next month. Time sure flies by.
