Brenda's Surprise Trip

This was the only temple we were at when it was dark. They had a few Christmas lights, but not as many as some of the others. It was a great trip and we enjoyed each other and the temples very much.

Robert preaching at the back of the temple. He is so cute.

Beautiful colors in the trees.
This sign was much easier to read. This temple is very similar to the one in Reno.
They have oranges growing on the temple grounds. We thought that was way cool.
Brenda running from the camera that was set on a timer to try to get one picture with both of them in it. Okay, she is there, but not sitting. Oh, well.
Robert at the sign (hard to read though). Redlands Temple still.

Los Angeles temple.
Robert at the second fountain.
There were two fountains and it was so pretty.
The angel Moroni through the trees.
Newport Beach temple has a mission style and was very different from any other style we have seen. It was very beautiful and everyone was so nice.
Brenda at the Newport Beach temple.
We took a picture in front of each temple's sign.

Brenda in the gardens.
Just thought we would show some great pictures of this beautiful temple.
To show how huge this temple is, that little person in the front is Robert.
Brenda loves this cactus that is on the way down in California.

We started out on Monday morning driving down to San Diego. This is Mono Lake with the fog and snow. By the time we got to Lee Vining, it was so cold outside that we had ice on the inside of our windows.

Max's Wedding

Lindsay, Krissy, Shelby, Karen, Nate, Brenda, Shyanne, Brad and Kandice.
Brenda's Dad, Mom and Aunt Reno. We went down to Max's (or as we have always known him, Brett) wedding. We took off Saturday morning and went through rain, then snow, then tons of pouring rain. Because of the weather, we were not able to stay as long as we wanted, but it was fun to see some family. Max is Brenda's cousin Debbie's son. Their family came and stayed with us summers while the kids were growing up, so we were pretty close to them.

Lance's 10th Birthday

Lance wanted to make doughnuts with Papa for his birthday instead of having a cake. He blew out the #5 candle twice as we forgot to get candles.
Oakland A's comforter in the dryer.

His dad sent him on a scavenger hunt to find one of his presents.
Pogo sticks are the thing and Lance and Shy really love them.
Lance really wanted a Braves shirt with his name and #24, so of course Papa made sure he got it.
Shelby and Natilee having fun on the floor.
He loves Star Wars and the kids loved watching him open his gifts. They were actually real good about not helping him.
Time has really gone fast, fast and so fast. Lance is in double digits!
