Jaxon's 18th Birthday Party

 Oh my! Jaxon is 18! And he even voted for President this year! I can't believe my youngest child is now an adult. Where did the time go? I am so thankful that at this point in our lives we get to live in Jacksonville, Florida. Jaxon has made some wonderful friends here and it really helps to make his high school experience great.

Oh there must be kids here!



Aaron grilled burgers and hot dogs.

Darby and Trevor's Sealing Day!

October 17, 2020 was a special day for Darby and Trevor. They finally got their temple date and luckily there was no last minute closings this time! We were very happy to fly back to California and share this day with them.


We were able to take some pictures before we went inside. 

And Melynn was able to attend!!!






Melynn and fellow sister missionaries
Through thick and thin. Friends for life!
Headless Melynn! YIKES! ha ha ha
After the sealing, we all went up to Greg's for some Mexican takeout.
Such a fun and relaxing evening.

How blessed we are to be able to have Melynn with us for a
backyard celebration since she lives in the zone! YEAH!!!

Now, for some of the professional pictures...THANK YOU ALISHA!!!









When you are with the one you love then you are home :)

Trip to Utah for Carter

I flew to Utah for Carter's endowment session in the temple. I stayed for just a few days. Enough time to see some family and do a little shopping with Darby hee hee.
Immediately after flying in, Darby and Trevor picked me up from the airport and we
went straight to John's for sacrament meeting and lunch followed by a visit with Grandma Emma.
I wasn't looking my best considering a long flight but oh well :)
Nathan was showing me some of his cool moves on his bike.
What a stud!
Temple time! Oh how I have missed you!







How happy I was to be able to celebrate such a special occasion with some of my family members!

Darby, Trevor and I went out for Chip Cookies that evening:)
Utah has some great places to eat!
