First Beach Day 2009-San Clemente

The first beach weekend of 2009 came and went in the blink of an eye....The weather could not have been better. The funny part is that it was Kayden's birthday weekend and we purposely postponed her bday celebration for early May in hopes of "better" weather. Well, I can tell you it doesnt get much "better" than this.
We frequent Newport and Huntington but occasionally we choose to make the trek down to San Clemente. Kind of a drive but always worth it. Once again, San Clemente did not disappoint. The whole fam spent the day, arriving early for breakfast on the pier. Then, it was off to enjoy a relaxing time as the kids froliched, built sand castles and played on the swing set that was steps away from our towels. We look forward to many more days like these...

EASTER 2009

Easter is a special time of year....
Its an opportunity to enjoy family and friends,
but most importantly its a time to give Glory to
the Man that died for our sins! Rick and I enjoyed
listening to our daughter explain to us the "reason
for the season". Kayden, with a very clear
understanding, told us why Jesus died on the cross.
She explained to us what a "sin" is and then told us
Easter is the day in which Jesus Lives! Such precious

times...

Easter morning started off with the kids awaking to
two Easter filled baskets with new art supplies....
Oh, did all those goodies come at a good time. JRob
was awfully tired of drawing basketballs with pink
and purple glitter pens!

After Easter baskets we headed to church. It was
such a beautiful day--and appropriately so...
After church, it was Nonnies and Grampy's house

we went for an afternoon of Easter egg hunts,

delicious brunch, games, naps and swimming.

It was a day of togetherness and celebration
--not only for the obvious fact that it is the
day that Jesus lives, but also for the exciting news
my brother and Ingred shared---Shine Baby #3--
Due to arrive in Nov/Dec 09! Congrats you guys.....

Changing Blog Sites

I have decided that I will change where I blog. I was previously using sampasite and have found blogger to be a quite popular one amongst the many others I follow....

Anyway, bear with me as I figure this whole thing out. I never really figured out the old one, so I imagine you were quite patient as you followed my previous blog as well!
