The amazing sunset over our White Tanks Mountains just outside our back door.Beautiful!!! Kendon is becoming quite the photographer.



...and playing in the snow
Went the day after Christmas and spent 5 days at a cabin in Williams. Just relaxed, played games, watched movies, played in the snow... It was our celebration for our 25th anniversary! All our kids were there and we just spent time, enjoyed one another's company. The best 5 days I've had in a long time.A real nice break for our family!!!
Read Christmas stories to the family on Christmas Eve after our traditional Christmas Eve dinner and everyone opened their new p.j.'s
The girls and I enjoyed a day at Mission Park in SanDiego while Bly took his Dad and Kendon on a 2 day/2night fishing trip.
It was cute and fun to have my sisters, my daughters and my niece all wearing scarfs or hats so that I wouldn't be the only bald woman at the reunion. I wasn't feeling insecure about it but I did so appreciate their love and support... and Rob, (wearing his hat in the background)... he always looks that way...LOL

It's not too often our kids let us hold them any more but it's great that Nati will still let us hold her once in a while!

Em swam the 500meter on her school swim team. Speed is not her strength but diligence is. Her teammates and coaches were impressed with her ability to "just keep swimming, just keep swimming"! A wonderful quality that will help her with many aspects of life... never give up, never surrender, no matter how tough it gets, just keep going! What a great kid!!!
We enjoyed a bbq with our friends, the Shipley's. The girls swam in their pool and we watched a spectacular fireworks display from a golf course.
