Honor Rollsss

Matthew and Rachel were both honored at a luncheon for being on the Honor Roll.

Ethan was on the Honor Roll too but we weren't able to attend his banquet.

So proud of each one of our children.

Mother's Day 2011

Love Love Love being a Mom! Love Love Love each one of my children. This year we were able to spend Mother's Day with Steve's Mom. I've been blessed to have some great Mom's and Grandma's in my life.

Easter 2011

Easter Sunday is always a special day that is close to the heart. So GRATEFUL for my Savior, Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for each one of us. So GRATEFUL for the knowledge of the plan of salvation that have. So GRATEFUL for a loving Father in Heaven. So GRATEFUL for the privilege we have of being able to celebrate Easter.

Fresno Temple

On our way to Bass Lake and Yosemite for spring break, we stopped by to see the Fresno Temple. It is about 2 hours away from us if you head north. However, the Los Angeles Temple is 2 hours away from us if you head south and is the temple in our district. The Fresno temple is small but still beautiful and like always the feeling of reverence was there.

Basketball w/ Rachel

Rachel decided to do basketball instead of soccer this season.  She is getting better and it is lots of fun to watch her.  Way to Go Independence!
