A very Happy Birthday to a great son-in-law. We're so glad we'll get to celebrate your special day on Thanksgiving. How 'bout a Pumpkin Pie for your birthday cake?

The beginning of our caravan from O.C. to Granite Bay. Had to stop at Pollo Loco for lunch. We had 3 cars (Dad's, Lisa's and Jenny's) and 17 people. Ty, Jevin, Wyatt and Joe will drove up a couple of days after us. Dallas, Jessica and Lucy drove from Utah. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving being able to be with my whole family. They mean the world to me!

"BLESSINGS"

As I was updating my blog I came across this picture of our children and immediately thought I am so "BLESSED" to have them for my children. They are the BEST!!! Thanks for the special people that you are and all of the great memories we have and will continue to have...

I LOVE YOU!

We are the CHAMPIONS...

On Saturday morning we flew home from the Beach House just in time to make it to Christopher's playoff Jr. Eagle Football playoff game. As you can see they were the champs of the whole league. Way to go Chris, we're so proud of you. Thanks Kelly for picking us up at the airport.
