Catching up...

As you have probably noticed, it has been a while since I last blogged about anythng substantial. The past few weeks have been full and rich with friends and family! I'll try to gradually update you on everything.

While my family was here we took a trip to the Santa Monica Pier. The ferris wheel is so amazing because at its highest, you are just hanging over the ocean! Amazing!


Me and my mom


We then went to my mom and dad's place and celebrated my dad's birthday as well as Tali's birthday. They are a day apart and joint birthday celebrations have always been a fun tradition. From the looks of their cheeks, those candles don't stand a chance!


My dad had to work on his birthday, but we met up with him for lunch at Bass Lake! Beautiful!!! My mom and dad at our water front table!


At Bass Lake, there is a place called Miller's Landing. They serve what I believe to be the biggest ice cream sundae ever! Our niece was in heaven!


Me, Tali and Neisha -- The sisters!


While we were at my parent's place we had a big family get together. The boys took care of the grilling. Our nephew is in training! (Hopefully this puts Cliff and Jeremy in better standing with Brice after having tried to teach our nephew to say "barbie!")


What a blessed time it was for me to be able to spend so much time with my family this summer. It did make good-byes very difficult, but what a gift to have such a wonderful family!
