Ashley's Baby Shower












 We all got to design our own onesie for Ashley.  

Every one was so cute and original.  Such a fun idea.  

Ally's 5th Birthday

When Ashley got into town from Hawaii we took a short trip up to Utah.  Mindy wanted to throw Ashley a baby shower with all the family in Utah.  We flew up there for that plus Ally had been calling asking me for months if I was coming to her 5th birthday party... I couldn't disappoint her so I just had to go.  I think Mindy was really the one who wanted me to come so that I could help her with all her party preparations.  Ally wanted to have a candyland party so there was a lot of candy and a lot of wild children.  At one point 3 of the girls were playing with balloons and screaming.  I told them that they had to stop because they were hurting all the old people's ears.   

 Looks like Evie enjoyed a piece of licorice.  
 Ally thinking hard about a wish.
So Serious!

Summer 2011

The first part of the summer was pretty uneventful until the end of July when I met up with my two favorite college roommates (Janet and Tammy) for a few days together.  We met in Whittier at mom's house and then took off towards the beach.  We stayed in a little hotel in Westminster for one night where we talked, played games, went out to dinner, talked, laughed, talked.  It was so fun to get away, relax and get re-acquainted and caught up on our lives.  It's been 33 years since college so there was a lot of catching up to do.  I love these girls.  We had so much fun together back then.  I am glad that we have been getting together these past few years and looking forward to more in the future.
