Back to the Board

There is no place I'd rather be than out there on a boogie board. On the last day of our vacation, we looked out the hotel window to completely flat water. I felt sorry for those who were coming to surf. We were packing up to leave.

LDS Sites Tour

Our first stop was the Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center in downtown San Diego. Jack was dressed up in period gear and sent to fight the non-existant Mexican Army.

Frazier drove this covered wagon through the broken concrete that is known throughout the area.

Calvin thought he should text someone when he completed the 2000 mile journey.

Finally, we were able to do some temple work at the San Diego Temple. Unfortunately, the entire structure is covered with scaffolding so a small picture would have to do.

Oceanside Vacation





We stayed in Oceanside for 4 days on the beach and took advantage of all the sun and water. Luckily, the weather cooperated and we had a great time. No one got sunburned or eaten by the surf.




Trip to Temecula

After an horrific breakdown outside Mesquite, and limping into Las Vegas, we gave up hope and rented a van to complete our trip to San Diego. We arrived at Tad's home at 8am instead of 8pm. He was so nice to us and let us sack out on beds and couches. But the pool was too tempting for some.

First Eagle Scout

 Howard received his Eagle Scout award and a ceremony at the Camano Island Building. It was fun to have an opportunity to celebrate all his hard work. I even got a mother's pin, but I didn't do much to help him. Paul did all that. And Rob is has always been a fantastic leader in helping move these boys along.








Back to Jan 2000, Howard got his cub scout uniform. That is ten years of tremendous growth.

Howard's High School Graduation

It was a Miracle. After weeks of hideous weather, the clouds parted and the sun shone on graduation. Everyone was astounded. Howard sang with David a new song in front of packed stands of parents and grandparents. Paul's parents came up from Salt Lake and we all had a great time together. 



Lots of big screams and shouts!

Graduation in 2 days!

Calvin will be walking across the wet grass toward his diploma in just 2 days! The last two weeks have been so busy with Scholarship Night, Talent Show, Eagle Court of Honor, 5th Ave Theater Awards, and more, that we've hardly seen him. And because he has to work tonight, I have to emcee the Senior Memory Night slideshow.
