A Forever Family - Newport Beach Temple

May 20, 2009 we were able to attend the Newport Beach Temple and seal the girls to us. For those of you that are not members of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that means that we are now a 'Forever Family. Our family bond is now not only created here on earth but in the eternities. We believe we will live on after this life is done and the joy to us in this very special event, is that we as a family will not be separated.

We waited a long time for our wonderful and sweet little ones. Thank you so much for all our family and friends that were able to attend!

A Day On Balboa

I love Balboa Island and every time I come to the area for work or play, I try to make a visit.


We were lucky that the day's weather was awesome. We played a bit on the sand as well as enjoyed viewing all the great spring gardens.

Of course a Balboa Bar was in order as well as frozen yogurt. I sure wish we had a frozen yogurt by our house. Maybe one day but for now another reason to love Balboa Island.

The Big Drive

I know I'm very behind on doing updates so here is the start of pictures from our California and Utah trip.


We got the girls out of bed and into the car and off we went. I started by taking pictures of us and yelling - We're going to California, We're going to California.


The girls were great in the car. We drove out in Scott's new truck, which made for a fun drive.


Ava and Ameya were patient with me with all the pictures I wanted to take of them. I loved it when they fell asleep - so cute. In these pictures, Ava first stuck her tongue out at me and then the second one started laughing at me.
It was so fun.
