Well so much for another wonderful week with my honey! The kids needed their mom and wanted to come home so I left after our service on Sunday to pick them up. Although, I must admit I'm so thankful Ezra and I got a whole week all to ourselves! It was nice and much needed. We had a fabulous 4Th of July and got spontaneous and went to a water park the next day. He even took me to one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego for dinner. We truly had a blast! Ezra rode the trolley for the first and probably last time. We got off on the wrong train and ended up in the ghetto. Ezra was praying he wouldn't get mugged. The trolley ride back home in the evening was definitely a culture shock for both of us. It was very sad to see so many young teenagers and adults so lost and and as crude and in your face as you could imagine. I probably could do a documentary on the trolley experience and hey maybe one day I will. My heart was beating pretty fast and I clutched my purse tightly the whole ride. Believe me it was crazy! So if anyone is wondering why we rode the trolley in the first place was because we were trying to save gas and not wanting to hassle with the traffic on the 4Th. Again, I think next time will by pass the trolley and just take the car.

I did it hit in run like I normally do when I drop off the kids or pick them up. I got to Sanger in the evening visited with my favorite people and woke up early and headed back home. While I was gathering up the last of our belongings, Judah thought I left and through a fit! He was not very happy and had the biggest crocodile tears. Joshua on the other hand was asking me if he could have one more week with his cousins and Josiah kept telling everyone bye that he was going home now to San Diego. I'm happy to have them all home again and so is daddy! Next week we head out to Washington/Oregon to visit with Ezra's family and also to celebrate our 10TH Anniversary! I'm so looking forward to it!

We were in Vancouver, Portland, Aurora, Seaside, and Canon Beach. Whew, what a busy schedule we had. It was well worth it though. Oregon is beautiful in the summer and they have such beautiful breath taking sunsets. On the plane ride over to Oregon the twins had a blast and even got captain wings. Way cool! Josh was nervous, which surprised me because he has flown several times. I held his hand and he seemed at ease for awhile. We arrived in Portland and spent the majority of our time at Ezra's

SeaWorld Bay of Play

We got an invitation from Sea World to check out the new kiddie area that is opening up today for members only. The official opening is tomorrow and I can only imagine how packed that area is going to be. The theme is Sesame Street! We were planning on taking the boys, but the weather is very windy and there are chances of thunderstorms. I think we'll visit the Bay of Play another day. On another note, I'm very pleased to hear the children from the Polygamist group will soon be reunited with the mothers. I didn't agree how it was handled and felt horrible for the children. No matter what those are still their parents. I can't imagine the trauma they went through with the militarized police squad showing up on their property and having to endure living with complete strangers. What amazes me even more is the fact that they did it over an anonymous tip that happened not to be true. What a shame! I must admit I have followed this case very closely! I have scoured the Int

They Got It!

Yahoo! I got a wonderful report from my beautiful mom today! A couple that my dad has been witnessing to got the HOLY GHOST!!! He is real and ready to feel the hungry and thirsty souls. Mom said, "Andrew and I shouted in the front of the chuch and we rejoiced!" My heart rejocied with hers and I was extremely happy for the church at Faith Tabernacle. It is a Home Missions church in the city of Sanger, CA. I was born and raised there but I got delivered from that place! Just kidding. Well kind of! I have wonderful memories of the little town and I can remember when McDonald's came to town. The population at the time was about 13,000. I believe the population has over 25,000 now. The town has a high crime rate. The gang activity there is very bad. My mom was raised there and my dad moved from Los Angeles as a teenager and met my mom and fell in love with her and had 6 kids. 5 of us are still living. 6 kids what in the world was she thinking? Mom says, "We didn't thi
