Visiting Great Grandma



Spending the afternoon down by Great gran's pond.






August review

The boys sure are getting to see more family now. A week after we moved into our house we had a family get together at our home. That sure helped us in going through the boxes and cleaning up. Some one else took a nice group shot. I'm still waiting to get it.

The Edwards were in town and the boys and I got to hang out with them for a little while.



Could our kids be related? Look at all the blond hair.

Having Fun

We stayed with my parents for a few days until we could get into our house. My mom the kids and I took a trip to the Children's Museum. It was a lot of fun for the kids.




We rode the Frontrunner into town. Bryson loved it!

Bryson loves the llamas at grandma and grandpa's.


Good bye

We've loved it in Modesto. We will forever hold fond memories of this place and the many wonderful people. We were blessed to live here.

Last time at the house




My good friend Erica took pictures of my house for me while I was doing the last walk over of the house. We both weren't happy about me leaving. Erica was amazing she not only offered to help watch my kids while I dealt with the stress of moving, but she also arranged for a sitter and came over and helped me clean my house. She let us stay the night at her home and then took us to the airport! She went over and beyond. What a great friend.

Sr. Primary

Jr. Primary. I will miss the Primary children enormously. I learned so much serving in Primary. I grew to know and love each child and knew the wonderful spirit each had within.



Bryson's wonderful primary teacher Sister Yosh!

Our Beautiful Chapel

Bryson's best friend Caleb


The boys and I flew out of San Fran.


One last hurrah

Funworks was the last place we went to as a family in Modesto.

Future Batman

Oh boy




Those smiles are priceless


I have a little bit of a led foot at times. This is one place to put that to good use.

The 4th of July in my neighborhood

Our neighborhood sure threw a fun 4th of July Party

Bryson with his buds Caleb and Seth

Entertainment! All the neighborhood garage bands played throughout the day.

Friends, staying a safe distance from the madness

Fire truck tour. Our local fire fighters brought out the big trucks to our party.

The boys got to meet the firemen and received a complementary hat

Does your neighborhood do this?

Catching up on July

We spent two wonderful days in the Monterey area. We all had a nice relaxing time. We will sure miss the beach!



Big Sur has very scenic beaches, that are difficult to get to

Bryson loves racing the waves

The only thing bad about the beach is the cold water.

Carmel is another beautiful spot to just hang out

Down by the dock in Monterey, checking out all the interesting types of boats



The place we stayed at

Brian is a professional sand castle builder.


Facinating! The Monterey Aquarium has the best exhibits I've ever seen!

Wild clam creatures from the deep. Watch out they bite!


I'd love to have a fish tank like this




The Jellies! Dude! This is the most amazing exhibit there!
