For all of my family members who are freezing in the state of Utah: I want you to know that it has been so beautiful here in California the last week! I am so glad that Mom and Dad are down here and not up in the freezing cold and icey roads. The Hicks are coming this week and we are very excited about that. We love seeing family members. Now that the time is getting closer to return home I am realizing how beautiful it is here. Isn't that the way that it always is? Grandma and Grandpa have been riding their bike more and Noah loves to pick flowers, from where I am not sure, and bring them home for Grandma and Mom.

First Post! Hey Everyone!

Yes, it is me! Courtney has set up this blog for me so I can be up to date. We will have to see if I catch on. We are loving living in Newport Beach. It has been so great. We are heading back to good old Utah in a few weeks. Courtney is working here in Cali at a fancy Marriott (see her blog at courtneymaestanton.blogspot.com). She will be heading back to work at the new Marriott in Lehi, UT at the end of the month. Lets just say she must love Utah to leave her great job here. Brandy is living in Provo going to Bon Losee studying cosmotology and now recently working at the Marriott Courtyard Provo. Camden is enjoying the big city life but misses his friends at home. He loves computer, skateboarding, snowboarding and has been trying out surfing. Noah loves superman, football, basketball, playing with Brighton and Cole and going to Disneyland. Dale is busy getting a place ready for Grandma and Grandpa Bodell to live at the motel. I keep busy being and mom and taking care of Mom and Dad. It will be good to get home and get busy running the Parkway Motel again.
