The Del Mar Dog Beach

We were so excited to take the girls to the Del Mar Dog Beach! They had such a good time!




Its sad but we have to keep Maggie on a leash. She likes to run away from us and is very hard to catch! Bailey and Zoe like to wander but never go too far.






Its impossible to get all 3 dogs looking at the camera at the same time but...here is our

Chase Family Picture - October 2010







Zoe had a blast and loves the water




Bailey enjoying a nice stroll along the beach
















Ahhhh...what a nice day!



San Diego Super Chargers

The second we decided to move to San Diego, Jory decided we needed to become San Diego Charger Season Ticket holders. We enjoyed EVERY game (missing only one the entire season) and enjoyed tailgating before the game every Sunday! Caitlin came down for a visit and joined us at one of the games.




She was very excited to be there!

Best Friends





To end the day...a little game of bean bags!


Happy Halloween!




Nothing says Happy Halloween like a pumpkin t-shirt



This was Zoe's first Halloween with us and she's confused as to why she has to wear a t-shirt!

Maggie being her usual self as the bossy big sister - Sassy Pants


Moving Day

From Nampa, Idaho to Carlsbad, California we go. Once we decided that we were moving, our moving day crept up on us so fast! Being a previous military family, we were used to having movers come to do all the packing and moving for us! This time...that wasn't the case. We had to do everything all by ourselves! Which was a huge job. We made it work though. We packed up our entire house and got it into a 26 foot moving truck. It was packed from floor to ceiling but we made it fit!







Zoe decided to ride in the big truck. But, she was too afraid to get out once she was in!


Do I really have to ride next to all this stuff??



Where are we going again??




This was my view for the entire 920 mile drive




Nevada was just gorgeous :-) Can you read the sarcasm in my voice? There was just nothing out there!




Me, Maggie and Bailey. Its amazing how good these dogs are in the car!








If only this was me during the car ride




We made it to Carlsbad all in one piece and got the truck emptied into our little condo. Our movers didn't show up so Jory and I were left to unload our 26 foot truck on our own! We made it work but WOW! What a job!




Maggie's bed was packed so she made due with a moving blanket on top of a stack of boxes




And when the boxes got uncomfortable...she found a spot in the pantry :-)





A Trip to Idaho Falls

Before our big move, we decided to run over to Idaho Falls to visit the Chase's before we left. I don't have a lot of pictures but I do have a few of our nieces and nephew. It was good to see everyone, as usual, and we will miss being a 4 hour car ride away!





Me and Jory at the Melaleuca Golf Tournament

We were lucky enough to get to play in the tournament with Rachel (who works at Melaleuca).

Moving to San Diego!

Well...we are moving to San Diego! Jory has been accepted to the Golf Academy and will be going to school there for the next year. We are very excited to experience Southern California and have a list a mile long of things we want to do and see. We have found a condo in Carlsbad to rent and are excited to be living very close to the beach. We are winging it! We don't know where we will end up next but for now...you can find us in sunny San Diego!

Chicago (Our favorite U.S. City)

We decided to pay a visit to our close friend Jonny in Chicago. We didn't realize how hot it would be in August but we had a great time with our dear friend and have also decided that Chicago is our Favorite U.S. city! We walked around the entire city, caught a couple of baseball games and enjoyed some amazing food and drinks!




Jonny was our amazing tour guide
