Jill & Abigail Celebrate Their Birthdays at Parramore

Jill is turning 10 this week, and Abigail (my neice) turned 5. We had a birthday party for the two of them.

Spring has Sprung!

This is our nectarine tree blossoming. And below is our mandarin tree with little mandarin buds.

Brave Alison

I always dread the "Kindergarten Doctor checkup". It means shots, and lots of them. 5 to be exact for poor Miss Alison. She winced with each one, but never shed a tear. Way to go tough Alison! And, I am DONE!!!!!!

Alison is 5!

Alison turned 5 this month. We had a family birthday dinner for her down in Napa one Sunday with her cousins and Nana & Papa. It rained the whole day! She had a lot of fun with her cousins. On her actual birthday she chose rainbow sherbet ice cream from Bakin Robbins.

Our Kitchen Before...

I know, I know. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this kitchen. It is beautiful. I have always wanted granite and what a better time to help out a friend in the granite business.

During....

What a mess!!

After......

Here is our new kitchen!!

Women's Shelter

I signed our family up to help serve dinner at a Sacramento Women & Children's shelter with other members from our church. Our ward provided the dinner and served it. Our older girls liked it and Alia even "felt good" afterward. The younger two cried most of the time.

Lily Turns 7!!

Lily turned 7 this month. She chose Chinese food for her dinner, so we all braved the pouring rain and went out to eat at Debbie Wongs. Afterward, we picked up the cake she wanted at Baskin Robbins. White cake with vanilla ice cream. What? No chocolate? She must not be mine. ;) She got her ears pierced and had a family party with my parents and sister's family the Saturday before. We love Lily!!

~Funny Bunny~

When the nights dip below 32 degrees, we bring our bunny inside for the evening. It is funny to see her flip over on her side and sleep like a dog. Sometimes she is so deep asleep I get scared and think she has died! Funny bunny!!!
