Birthday Girl with her boys!

Im a year older now than last year but I wont reveal my true age....ok Im 25 according to my husband...actually im older than that......He's so kind! We had a blast but peaceful birthday celebration. We ate at my favorite italian restaurant " Macaroni Grill". They really have good food! This time I tried a different entree , which is "Lobster ravioli" ...hhmmnn yum! Sterling also surprised me with a cake and a birthday song by one of the server. She really sang it well in italian. Everybody clapped their hands and after that a gentleman was kind enough to volunteer to take a picture of us. That night was wonderful. Im glad I was able to celebrate it with my family. Thanks for all that called, emailed, messaged me thru friendser and facebook and sent cards thru mail. I am truly grateful!

The Best Christmas Ever!!

I just thought this should be passed on for it taught us a very valuable lesson. We had this lesson for our family home evening and it went great. We felt the spirit and love in the room. Im now more excited to share it with my VT sisters as well! http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f318118dd536c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=a4f3e3ec0bfcd110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=true

Christmas Decorations 2008

This is for Mom Grover and also for JC and mother in California. My Mother-in-law helped me pick this tree and also the ornaments that goes with it. Mom Helen I love yah!! Christmas is my most favorite time of the year not only because its close to my birthday, but its the time to remember the things ( people) that matter most . This year im more excited because Hunter gets to open his gifts on his own and see the thrills in his face. ...priceless.....though I think I bought way too much for him this year!WE hope that everyone will have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Thanksgiving Vacation!

We were blessed to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family in California. We had a wonderful time with them and we cant thank them enough for the generosity and warm welcome they've shown us. We enjoyed their company and we would love to go back....probably when its not that cold so we can swim. Dont get me wrong , we love the climate there in Redding during this time of the year but its not good for swimming. We get to go to several hikes and relax with my little brother

Hunter being impatient with his Daddy!!! Its also nice to see JC before he leaves for his mission. He will be serving in the Colorado Denver North Mission. We will surely miss you! Its nice to be back in Redding after 4 years.
