Beach Trip to Brookings

We finally got to travel with Tony to Brookings, where he works overnight on the coast each week. We didn't get much time with him, but the kids & I loved the 2 days on the beach and couldn't get enough of building sandcastles and feeling the sand beneath our toes. I was in heaven.

Haole Posse Reunion

I got to see half of my haole posse from my old BYU-Hawaii days! It was soooo nice to be reunited with Jackie, who I hadn't seen in 13 years! I met her family for the first time. Becky & I hadn't seen each other in 3 years, before she had her two little boys!! We had a delicious BBQ and swim at Becky's house while the kids played. It was so nice to catch up on old times and quote "Tommy Boy" lines. They truly are my "naughty pets" and I miss them already!!

Disneyland 2010

We did 2 days at Disneyland and it was AMAZING! I love that magical place. The kids had a blast as did Tony & I. Abby's favorite ride was Winnie the Pooh. Preston's favorite was the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain. The only one he did not like was Space Mountain. We did the Tiki Room three times with the kids belting out the words so loud we were hysterical! We love the Tiki Room!

California Vacation

We visited Tony's family in Westminster. His great- grandmother is in her 9os and completely adorable. We also visited with his grandparents who just left Arizona as serving as Mission Presidents for 3 years!

Butterfly Release

Preston ordered caterpillars in the mail this year and watched them grow big and fat. Then they turned into chrysalis' and the waiting game began. Over a week later...butterflies! We released butterflies a few days later and this new idea has become a family tradition I believe. So fun!

Fishing with Papa

Preston went on a fishing trip with Papa Tim recently to Spaulding Pond. He had a great time and is a real fish killer!

Swine Flu Anyone?

We visited Arizona in May and enjoyed our visit until we all caught...the flu!!! Hopefully not the swine flu, but you never know. We did have a great time with the cousins and family until the very end though. Nice and toasty!
