My 6th Anniversary

My anniversary happened to be durning my trip back home. It was sad not to spend the day with Paul but my sister in-law Julie came to the rescue and made my day special. We went to one of my most favorite places to eat P.F. Changs. Then we headed to Carslbad to the starwberry fields. It was a very fun and memorable day.

Evan's 13th Birthday

Sawyer and I lucked into being in town for Evans Birthday party. It was a fun time of celebrating and being together. hard to believe that this guy is now 13. What a wonderful guy he's turning out to be. He's so kind, and fun to be around. We love you Evan and can't wait to see what God has for you. Happy birthday!

Upside down hugs

Uncle Daniel has always given the kids upside down hugs. The kids really look forward to their "hug" from Uncle Daniel everytime they are together. They have been getting these hugs for most of their lives, and it had never been a problem till now. The kids are getting older and obviously bigger which makes the task a little more difficult for Uncle Daniel. Especially when your nephew is turning 13 and is basically as tall as you are. Uncle Daniel, determined to give Evan his hug, used the other kids as a warm up. Here are the pictures of the upside down hugs at Evan's Birthday party.

Nails and Nieces

Friday was my Nephew Evan's 13th Birthday. The family heade up to Temecula for a party. Sawyer, Grammy, and I went up a little early and had some fun girl time. We took the girls and got our nails done. It's always fun to get to spend time with them. My other niece Faye was on a class trip to Sacramento, we missed her! Here are some pictures of my other 2 nieces getting pampered!

Surprise

Sawyer and I headed to San Diego a couple of weeks ago for a surprise visit! Pauls mom was the only one who knew we were coming. When we got into town, we decided to let everyone know we were there. We took the camera and started knocking on doors. Here are some of the reactions we got. So fun!!!!
