Memorial Day 2010

I can't believe it is already May 31st. I love Memorial Day. I love the opportunity to celebrate the men and women who gave their lives to protect the things we value most: home, family, freedom, and religion.

I called my dad today to thank him for what he did for our country.

I loved being raised in the military and am grateful for the incredible opportunities we had. Living in different countries, allowed us to experience cultural diversity and exposed us to a variety of people, places and ideas. I think these experiences made us more well rounded individuals. It also allowed us to see the beauty in the world and its people.

Easter

Easter was extra special this year because it coincided with a General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We also had some very special visitors. Michael, Meilani and Houston came down from Spokane and spent Easter with us this year. It was a glorious occasion. We had so much fun together! We went shopping, and for walks and had a fabulous adventure to Monterey where we visited the aquarium, had a wonderful lunch at the Fish Hopper on Cannery Row, and saw the beautiful scenery along the 17 mile drive to Pebble Beach and Carmel. It was a quick trip, but full of fun and wonderful memories.


This is Mike and Michael with Houston just before they left for the Priesthood session of conference. Houston stayed home with Lani and me and we as usual had a wonderful time together.

How I love my boys!

Spring has Sprung

Spring has definately arrived! It has been a wondefully wet year in San Ramon. The hills are green and the blossoms are out. These are the same trees I photographed for my Fall pictures. It's so much fun to see the seasons change right before my eyes!
