Laura Bishop Banks & family visit So Cal

The Banks visited us while Gary was out here working and their kids were on Spring break. They came to our house for dinner after a day at Disneyland!

Gary & Laura

Isabel is 8

Isabel entertained Zorro for a VERY long time : )
Oliver is 6 and Elliott is 4

After Oliver finished off his brownie & ice cream there was still a bit of ice cream on his plate. I asked him if he wanted a piece of apple pie to go with that ice cream. He said "yes please". And he polished that off too : )
We loved hanging out with them! Gary is a great story teller, Laura is as sweet as I remember, and their kids are a delight!!!

City of Children

City of Children, March 2010

What a great group of family and friends went to Ensenada this year! The Grandes, Giboneys, Katches, Davises, Walls, Pratts, and Thomases enjoyed serving together. (Mike and Austin are missing from this picture because they had to leave early to get Austin back for Tech rehearsals for Little Women).

Disney w/ Debbie

I had a glorious day of fun at Disneyland/CA Adventure with a dear "old" friend recently.

I want Disneyland's gardener! (and budget for flowers!!!)
We both love to go on fun rides!

We started the day at CA Adventure and ended at Disney. The crowds were the lightest I've ever seen, so maybe Tuesday is a good day to go!
