Latest Adventures

Happy Memorial Day!
It is really great to see all of your posts and the lastest with each of you!
We wish we could pop into each of your homes for a quick visit.
We got back from Palomar Mtn. just Saturday evening enjoying a super fun time out doors camping.
Climbing tall, thick oak trees was one of the favorite pastimes of the three older girls.
We found a great spot for our hammock. Swaying back & forth in the open air was relaxing.
The girls could have hiked all day long looking for the neatest walking sticks and interesting nature things to collect.

The water fight sure was a hit!


We can't wait to go back to the mountains!


Happy 5th Birthday Claire!
Claire helped design her Bakugan cake.
We celebrated her birthday with her friends at Chuck-e-Cheese.


Maria is growing and becoming a sweet, adorable big girl. We love her so much!



At the beginning of the month Mark had a crazy last minute idea to head up to San Francisco with him on a business trip. We are so glad we went and explored a cool new place to us! Golden Gate Park was so beautiful and the thick fog was not just around the park but all over town. There is something truly cool about fog.
We found the Oakland temple and walked around the beautiful grounds.

Swimming in the hotel pool is always a highlight for our girls.

A view of San Francisco Bay.

Fisherman's Warf at Pier 39. This was a fun place to see seals, Alcatraz, ride a 2 story carousel, try famous foods to S.F. and much more! So many neat things to see in the city.


I enjoyed Mother's Day so much I had to include a couple of pics because my girls & Mark were so cute and excited to make me feel special. Each of the girls had a special presentation of some sort through school or church.



Mark and I went on his annual work retreat in April. This year it was held in the JW Marriot in Palm Springs. This was a blast! (mostly because I got to hang out with Mark by myself) Thanks Mom for taking such great care of the girls for us while we were there. The girls had such a fun time with you!

Crys & Jen-
I agree that it's been a while since we've all been together so I'm gearing up for our beach trip this summer!
