Macie's Princess Room at Grandma's House.  

A Day of Clothes shopping at the Inland Center Mall with Meagan, Macie and Mandie before Mandie's big trip to Idaho to stay with Dave and Kelly's family.

In  December 2011 I took Emily, Rachel and Ashley Schellhous to Huntington Library before they headed off to BYU Idaho.  We went out for Barbeque Ribs at Lucilles, Victoria Gardens later that evening.

Jamie's 8th grade basketball team coached by Darleen Webb.  

She made the JV team as a Freshman in High School but decided against playing because it took too much time away from studies, sleep and church activities.  

December 2011

Christian's 24th Birthday.  Rachel made him a "Madame Medusa" cake.  Their joke.

Gorgeous Mandie by the Christmas tree.  

We loved having Macie, John and Meagan Zuniga living with us during 2011-2012

More pictures from our 2011 trip to Boston and Cape Cod

Meagan getting Macie  ready for church in our cottage.  We attended at the Cape Cod Branch.

 After church Andrew thought it might be Sabbath worthy to glide out on the pond in a boat.  He was just standing up getting into the boat when a motor boat went by and knocked him into the water.  I saw him standing there soaking wet and said innocently, "I thought we weren't going to do laundry until tomorrow Andrew."

 Coming into the house soaking wet.

 Off to church we go!

 We had a lovely Sunday supper of New England Clam chowder, homemade rolls, and pulled pork with sweet baby Ray's barbeque sauce , watermelon and corn on the cob.

 Can't get away from the wi-fi

 We were thrilled all 7 of our children and all of our grandchildren could be there--okay okay so we just have one grandchild--but still!
