Arizona

On the way home from CA, we stopped in Mesa to visit with our old neighbors and good friends, the Widdisons. We had a fun time playing, visiting and catching up. Thanks for a fun time.
While in AZ we also got to visit with my oldest friend, Danielle, and her family. We have known each other since we were in nursery together 30 some odd years ago. I haven't seen her for many years and it was fun to catch up and get to know her family a little bit. I wish that I had taken more pictures of this leg of the trip!

Good times in AZ!

California

Here is what we did in pictures....I am a feeling uninspired in writing!

Not captured in photos, but a special event worth mentioning. We got to attend the baptism of our new niece and nephew Suzzy and Eli. They were officially adopted by Danny's brother, Steve, and his wife, Kirsten. We were so happy to welcome them to the family and see them join the church. What a special day!

We had a great time in CA and as always it was sad to say goodbye to family, but we are grateful for the good times we had and the memories that were created.

BC (before California)

There were several things that I needed to catch up on before we left for California, but blogger wasn't cooperating, so it did not get done. Well, here is the abbreviated version of the things that I felt were most worth mentioning. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!!

Grace was the only kindergartner to receive this award!
