Mothers' Day

Amanda took me to lunch on Saturday for Mother's Day. We went down to Carlsbad Village and walked around and ended up at a fun little Mexican place called Senor Grubbys and had some good street tacos. It was a beautiful day! After lunch we walked down to the beach and sat on a bench and just enjoyed the view. We live in such a beautiful area.





Love these "take your own picture" pictures!



On Sunday, actual Mothers' Day, Brad, Ethan and I went up to Amanda & Lance's for dinner. Ethan loves playing with his nephews, as you can see-

Easter Dinner

We shared Easter Dinner with our good friends, Scott and Laura Peterson. Amanda, Lance and family joined us, also. We had scrumptious food and Laura's table looked elegant, as usual!



She used some old dishes that belonged to Scott's mother and it looked so pretty.

Easter 2011

We had our first Grandmommy Easter Egg Hunt the Saturday before Easter. Here are Amanda & Lance's two boys ready to find those eggs -




Here is 8 month old Mya - isn't she a doll?



And here are all three, Jackson, Mya and Gavin, dressed in their Easter outfits -



They had a great time finding all the eggs, but I was having too much fun watching them to take many pictures!

New ovens...

After 20 years my microwave conked out. We had to replace both the microwave and oven because they were connected as one unit. Brad is a DIY kind of guy, so he did it himself! Here is a picture after he removed the old units -



This is what it looked like after he made the opening larger to accommodate the new ovens -



And here are our new ovens! Brad had to pull a new wire through the house which was quite a job, but he did it. And what was the first thing I made in my new convection oven? Cookies, of course! Three sheets at a time - quite a time saver. Now he will make a drawer at the bottom where there used to be a cupboard.

No Fresh Content

I know I do not have many people following my blog - I never have fresh content! Life is just too busy and I do not fit this stuff in too often.
We had a great holiday season last year, just to catch you up. Nicole, Kim and their husbands and families came at Thanksgiving. We did some fun stuff together - Seaport Village, The Mormon Battalion Center in Old Town San Diego, games at home, lots of good food - a great holiday. Keldon was home from college, also.
On to Christmas... Amanda her husband and family came for Christmas. Then Nicole and family returned the day after Christmas. More good food, fun games, fun sightseeing together. Had to get a visit to the beach in. I will post pictures - later!
