A stop at Walker River and Then Home.

We have developed a route back from my parent's house which includes a stop at Walker River. Walker River runs from Bridgeport, CA to Walker, CA along the 395. It is beautiful covered in snow and beautiful in the spring when the river is really running.

Adam is trying to get to the other side, but the river didn't allow it.

I love this picture of Jens. He is so relaxed and just having fun.

Happy 70th Birthday Mom!!!

Happy 70th Birthday!!! You are the best mom ever. We went up to Dayton, Neveda to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were there on Friday to Tuesday. We had a fun day. We went to the Reno LDS Temple to seal some of our family members together forever. It was a wonderful experience. We went to see Julia and Julie for the birthday. Afterwards, we celebrated with my mom's favorite cake - Coconut cake.

You are still beautiful!

Most of the family was there to be with mom.

Bekki, Kelly and Ian were there.

Yes, I am 10 years old!!!

Anna is ten years old. To celebrate, we had 15 girlfriends over for a slumber party. They had so much fun. We made sleepy time headbands, watched Winn-dixie, ate pizza, and cake and ice cream. It was a fun time. I loved the expression on Anna's face when they sang Happy Birthday! Not all the girls spent the night. By the end of the night we had only 9 girls left. In the morning we went to the donut shop. I think Anna will remember her 10th birthday for a long time, plus I have the pictures.

Happy Birthday, Jake

Happy Birthday Jake

Jake decided this year to take the money and run. He decided to just have TJ over and take the money ($150.00) to Target. He had the best time at Target. He bought Bakuguns and a game for his DS. I kept telling him that he did not have to spend it all. It was a fun night. We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. Happy Birthday, Jake. It is great to be eight.

Happy Birthday!!! Adam

Adam turned 12 today. I can't believe it. He was so excited. We went to Country Harvest for breakfast. Adam asked his friend, Dylan to come with us. He found all his birthday presents this year by "accident". So I told him that I took them all back to the store. He wasn't sure after I told him. So, it was a little bit of a surprise for him. The waitress brought out a muffin with a candle. Then, at home he unwrapped Mario Kart Wii and looked through his birthday coupon. His favorite birthday coupon was YOU WIN the argument. There is only one of those coupons. I told him to use it wisely. Grandma and Grandpa called to sing Happy Birthday. He had a cute little smile on his face. Tomorrow we will have Curry Meatballs and dessert. He will receive the Priesthood at church. It is a big weekend for him.

Happy Birthday, Adam. We are so blessed to have you in our family. XOXO from Mom and Dad.
