Sarah's return from her mission!!

After 18 long months, Sarah returned from her mission to Santiago Chile. We are soon happy to have all her cuteness home! Of course Kristi came down to welcome her and we enjoyed some fun days in the Carlsbad sun and beach. We love you Sarah!!!

Easter 2019

Charli got all our attention this year at the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. We love having Amy's family so close we can spend time with them and watch them grow up.

Kolina, Oahu with Kelly and Collin

Loved our Hawaiian trip to Kolina, Oahu with Kelly and Collin. They are great traveling companions. We hiked, dived/scuba, kayaked, toured the island, ate well and had a wonderful trip. Gary and I always love when our children can travel with us.

Christmas 2018 in San Diego

Charli stole the show this Christmas. Such a delightfully contended child that loves everyone and shares lots of hugs. We had a small group with Craig, Grandma Janet, Amy, Joe, Charli and Sarah's friend Sarah C. Of course the other hi light was our video chat with Sarah. Hard to believe she will be home in 4 months. She looks and sounds so good, such a blessing and joy.

Thanksgiving 2018 in Henderson Nevada

Such a fun weekend in Henderson with Kristi and Mike hosting our Thanksgiving weekend. Hiking, boating, climbing. Sadly Kelly and Collin were in Idaho with Collin's family. But, we loved having so many of our children and grandchildren together, such a joy. 

Marilyn's 80th Birthday Surprise! Nov 2018

So fun to surprise Marilyn for her 80th birthday. We flew up for the weekend and Kids just kept showing up every day. Highlight was roller skating with Marilyn in the wheel chair and a wonderful dinner with lots of memories and love shared for Marilyn!

House Makeover

623 Coral Reef Ave gets a make-over. New floors, lots of white trim in the hall. Broke through a wall into the kitchen and new cabinet doors and countertops in the kitchen. Turned out amazing. We love it here!
