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

Congratulations Michael!

Michael is my baby brother and today I wanted him to know how thankful I am for him. I have wonderful memories of Michael that I will share today. Memories that I will forever cherish. Since Michael was a little boy he has always had a drive to be the best and do his best in everything he put his hand to. He always had a drive to win and if he lost everyone knew it. I still have vivid memories of Phillip another one of my brothers holding Michael at an arms distance by his head with Michael's arms going a hundred miles per hour trying to hit Phillip because he just lost the game. We could see the wrath of Michael coming and we would split as far as we could from him because he would go berserk! It really was hilarious. That is just one of many funny stories I can tell you for now. Micheal has always been independent and very disciplined. He is a hard worker and intelligent! Last week Michael finished with a Bachelor's Degree Majoring in History. He finished it at a private coll
