La Familia Barnes: Going Back to Cali
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2013/11/going-back-to-cali.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Monday, November 4, 2013. Going Back to Cali. Our last night in WA was spent in a hotel in Bellevue. We had breakfast a non-kid friendly Jewish deli, so that was interesting. I think Rose enjoyed it though. Since we were moving into temporary housing in San Jose, we had to have suitcases full of stuff to last 2 months. We're talking books, toys, clothes, the whole nine. Here's how we arrived: 2 car seats, 3 carry ons, 1 double stroller, and 11 suitcases later.

La Familia Barnes: Things we do in California...
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2013/11/things-we-do-in-california.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Things we do in California. 1 Go to the park nearly everyday. 3 Have cousins over to watch football. 4 Pose for pictures after church. 5 See amazing sunrises. And sunsets for that matter. 6 Take dance classes that we don't like. Okay, let me explain. Rose was taking a big girl dance class that she despised. For 3 weeks the teacher would tell me "I just don't think its working out." Ha! So now we take a "Mommy and Me" class together, all 3 of us!

La Familia Barnes: Halloween
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2014/01/halloween.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Friday, November 8, 2013. Okay I will say this.I absolutely hate it when people "catch up" on their blogs. Its annoying. But I'm doing it in case I ever want to make one of those blurb books someday. So here's Halloween 2013. Rose wanted to be a blue princess.so I guess that means Cinderella? A movie she's never seen before. How do they learn these things ha? Rose suggested that Liney wear her Doc McStuffins costume that she got for her birthday. What a great idea!

La Familia Barnes: July 2013
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Hello, out there! I know that there aren't many readers of this blog left but, oh well. In early July, we had the opportunity to go on a Mormon Pioneer. Here we are the night before trying on our clothes. I sewed my bonnet, apron, and skirt. I also helped the YW in our ward sew their bonnets. I probably made over 20.I'm a little obsessed with making them! They are so fun. I'm thinking of a possible Etsy shop next summer. Larry and Susan Shaw. A lot of...

La Familia Barnes: First weeks in the Bay Area
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2014/01/first-weeks-in-bay-area.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. First weeks in the Bay Area. Our first couple of weeks here we spent hanging out it our awesome apartment that we lived in temporarily for our first 2 months in SJ. When we got here, Mike's brother had moved in a week earlier so pretty much all we wanted to do was hang out with them, so we did ha. Mike's mom came to visit and we went to Carmel and Monterey. Dennis the Menace park. One night we (accidentally) spent $50 on pizza. Why not!

La Familia Barnes: Goodbye to Friends
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2013/09/goodbye-to-friends.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Friday, November 1, 2013. Our last moments at the house! Kari and Megan watched our kids ALL day which pretty much saved our life. We totally forgot to have Rose say goodbye to the house as we were rushing out the door in the morning. The Young Womens Presidency I had been serving in for the past 6 months. I love these ladies so so much. We had such special times with our girls. She is the most loving and not to mention beautiful (with impeccable style) girl ever! While Meg's ...

La Familia Barnes: December 2012
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. This Thanksgiving we had plans to get together with friends but 2 days before Caroline had a really high fever! On Thanksgiving morning, instead of exercising, we decided to make these. They were incredibly delicious. I also made these rolls from Our Best Bites. Mike was so excited to use our turkey carver for the first time (we got it for our wedding! The next day we sent Mike to Home Depot to get the tree! Monday, December 3, 2012. She was pretty s...

La Familia Barnes: January 2013
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Friday, January 25, 2013. So having an iPhone (or another kind of smart phone) pretty much means you don't need a camera anymore, right? Last weekend we hit up the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Rose actually watched an imax for about 20 minutes! Pretty shocking. She did try to reach out and grab stuff which was pretty funny. Some other highlights were the butterfly exhibit and the water tables. Afterwards, we rode the monorail to the downtown area to do some shopping.

La Familia Barnes: September 2013
http://familiabarnes.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Finding Joy in the Journey. Sunday, September 1, 2013. August 27th was Rose's 3rd birthday! We celebrated by taking her and BFF Emery to McDonalds and Kids Quest and then later we had cake and opened presents. Pretty much her dream day. It was fun to take just the "big girls" to kids quest, especially since it was a week before we moved. They like to hide from us near the elevator. This is probably my favorite picture of them ever. We miss you Emmy face. The Doc is in! Goodbye Mt. Rainier.
