Now that I've done things I like - it's time for people I like. Again, in no particular order. It's just how I manage to upload the photos.
My dearest - husband, Mike
My Oldest - daughter Ana, 13
My youngest - son Sam, 10
Debbie, freshly back from the Dominican Republic, where her hair was braided into corn rows. Before she left, while they were in, the girls taking them out and after.
Debbie with our friend Denise. I was so busy getting
pictures of Debbie's braids, I never got Denise alone!
My favorite blonde family: Di holding Audrey, the beautiful princess Audrey and Matt, looking every bit the pirate next to Grant and Sam in the chair.
Most of my favorite young people:
Brendon, Ana, Sam Grant, Dana, Sera and Ethan.
Cousin Delaney (on left) was still in school during
our Christmas vacation so Ana & Sam joined her
at school for her Jingle Jog. It was a 2 mile fun
run (doesn't sound fun to me!) and the kids had
a great time. They were treated to popsicles
after the race. Seems to me hot chocolate would
have been a better choice. It wasn't exactly warm.

We took a little summer vacation to Phoenix to visit the grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousin.
This is Ana, Sam and Delaney on the bumper boats. A wet time was had by all!!
The Go Karts were a big hit with Ana and Sam. Delaney was not quite tall enough and had trouble pushing the gas pedal.
Swimming in the grandparents pool was the preferred entertainment AND it's already paid for!!!

In September we met "the cousins" at Disneyland for what was supposed to be a fun-filled trip!! For the most part it was just that--full of fun. Now, being from Southern Nevada I love a good Monsoonal downpour as much as the next guy. However, when that downpour comes while visiting Disneyland it's not quite so enjoyable. For one thing it's about 30 degrees cooler in California than Nevada so being wet also means being COLD!!! In Nevada, we stay in the house until the storm passes. Not so at Disneyland. When in Disneyland one does the only sensible thing. You either pay $7 for a poncho that will be worn once (that day) or as Mike and Sam did, you pay $21 for a hat that will see more use. Here we are in all our "Disney Condom" (a term coined by my sister-in-law, Patty) glory!!!
