We cant believe you are already eight!! This was such a special day for all of us! We are so proud of you for all the things you have learned and for choosing to be baptized! Thank you for always being a good example to all of those around you! We love you!

They are both glowing!

We took about 12 pictures before the baptism and Anthony looks the same in all of them! He was mad because he was hungry!! We really had a great day!

Fun in the sun in Newport!

The kids and I headed to Newport to stay a few days with my dad and Donna. Newport Dunes is a very special place for especially Lily and I. Before Lily was in school I was blessed to be able to go with my mom and dad to Newport when my dad would go to california for work. Lily and I made some very special memories with "Grandma Luann". Mom would take us shopping to our favorite grocery store, Gelsons where she loved to buy their gourmet yet very expensive desserts. We also liked shopping at Trader Joes and eating out at Hoffs Hut. It was a little hard to go back without my mom, but we had a great time creating new memories with "Grandma Donna."

This was my old missionary companion Gaby canela Mariscal, She helped me find and teach Angel the discussions.

o.k., so I posted this picture twice, I love it so much!
