Kim and Jeff's Wedding

Our much loved babysitter and friend, Kim got married today and the kids were all in her wedding. It was a magical day for Kate especially, who looked at Kim as a princess admires her queen. She was nearly speechless every time Kim came near her in her gorgeous wedding gown. Kate was thrilled to be greeted by Kim as she exited the temple with Jeff. We love Kim and and are so happy for the two of them.

Stinson Beach Trip


My mom, Sandy, has dreamed for years of returning with her own children and grandchildren to Stinson Beach, CA, where she vacationed as a child at her grandparents' home. This year it
finally happened. We enjoyed a home-exchange near the beach and the kids loved taking in the ocean air, playing with Jessie on the beach and digging in the sand. Dylan, Kate, Savannah and even I (Kim), put on a wetsuit and headed out into to cold Pacific waters for some boogey boarding. It was a blast! CALIFORNIA is so awesome! It was great for us natives to be back for a visit and even better to introduce the Golden State to our children.
