Happy 10th Birthday Jane

We were at the beach for Jane's birthday.
We shopped, drank slurpees, ate chick-fil-A,
 played at the beach, swam and ate dinner at Olive Garden.
All Jane's choice.



Traditional 7-Eleven stop for free slurpees.

L.A. Temple

Mom and I got to go to the Los Angeles Temple.
I haven't been since right after Danny and I were married about 24 years.
This was my first temple. I went through September 1999.






Greg took mom, me and Ella to a fancy restaurant. 
The Fish Bar, yum.

Manhattan Beach, CA

Uncle Greg received this beach house for a month as a work bonus.
He was kind enough to invite, me, Clark, Jane and grandma to visit for a few days.

Happy 4th of July

It was a different 4th for us this year.
Hanna was at work until 6:30pm. Van was with the Featherstone's.
Daisy & Walt were on their HXP trips. It was just had Clark & Jane for most of the day.
We went to the neighborhood bike parade, tried the pool, but then it closed for lightening. 
When Hanna got home we went to Olive Garden for dinner (kids choice).


Neighborhood bike parade.


We watched the fireworks from our 
community center parking lot.


We could see fireworks all over the city.

 


Finn's first 4th of July.


We miss you cute Finn!


Van always has a great time with the Featherstone's!
It's his second home and we're so grateful for them!
