June trip to CA

It was really fun to have most of the family together for Tori's baptism. We missed Melissa and almost here, baby Chayse! The night that Sean flew in; Doug, Blayne, and Brenton went to pick him up and they stopped by our house on the way home. All the guys were in the kitchen just talking and laughing. It brought back some good memories of when they were younger! I will always remember those minutes in the kitchen! :) Thanks, guys! It warmed Mom's heart! On Saturday, we took the kids to the park and hung out.  It was fun to have all the kids sitting in church together also.  Tori's baptism and her G'mothers' talks went well; even though we dislike talking! The time went all too fast.  Monday morning saw Sean leaving and I flew back with Brenton & Kingston.  We had alot of fun times and memorable experiences! Brenton & I have a piece of beach that we really enjoy walking on and seeing the changes in the houses along the way.  Aerin & I got Melissa a large cupcake pan and she made a trial cake while I was there.  It turned out great and was very yummy!  Great job, Melissa!  Kingston was really fun to watch and play with.  Melissa worked one Saturday and Brenton had gone camping & snake hunting with the boys from church.  He enjoyed his night out and I loved watching Kingston for the day.  We took lots of walks and enjoyed seeing all the beautiful flowers, shrubs, etc in southern CA.  It was hard to come home; but I also missed my family in OR. Thanks for all the memories Brenton, Melissa, & Kingston!  Wish we all lived much closer together!   I will always remember those minutes in the kitchen! :) Thanks, guys! It warmed Mom's heart! I have a ton of pics I keep forgetting to post; so will try to post them and get them on here in a straight manner. Ha - ha! If I did it more often; then it wouldn't be so hard to remember how to do it. :)  Thanks for your help Blayne & Aerin!
