Extended Family visit..


Three days ago, Uncle Peter called to let me know he would be in San Diego for his grandsons wedding.  He invited us to come and visit. We were unable to be in the sealing room as it was full, but we had a great visit nonetheless.

 I was able to see his sons, Seth and Paul, my cousins whom I have not seen in over 30 years.
What a wonderful treat!
 Uncle Peter and Renee looked so good and it was so nice of him to invite us.
We wouldn't have missed it.
 Seth is the older brother and Paul is a little younger. I told them their father baptized me into the church in 1976 at BYU.  They were surprised because they did not know.

This is Blake Myer and his new bride, Michelle.  What a beautiful couple.
It was very crowded at the temple as there were 29 weddings on the same day!!

After the picture taking we went to a late lunch together and were able to have a lovely visit.
We talked about our families and all the blessings we have been given.  It was a fabulous day.

Brothers -Seth on the left and Paul on the right. When I told Paul who I was, he was super surprised!
I did find out I am the Old Cousin as Seth is 54 and Paul is younger.
Oh well, we still had great fun!

How blessed we are to be able to meet again and realize how important family is!

A wonderful visit!

This week we had a visit from Suzy, Taylor and Madison.  They came to a Marine Corps graduation and we went to Mission Bay Beach, North Island Beach, Cabrillo National Park, Mount Soledad, and the pool in our apartment complex.





 The picture above was taken at Cabrillo National Monument. After our trip here, we went to Point Loma Seafood.  It was wonderful.  Fresh fish of all varieties. We are planning to go again.

They also came to church on the base. Maddie was a big hit at church as we don't have babies very often.




These pictures were from Mission bay beach.  The water is very calm and shallow. So it was pretty warm and Maddie liked it. She is so cute kicking her feet and flapping her arms like she is trying to swim.





On the last day we stayed close to home and went into the pool.  Maddie really enjoyed it.
The adults got sunburned, but Maddie did not as she was covered in lotion and the rest of us missed some areas :-(

It was so fun to have family come to visit!!
