My mom sent this to me via e-mail. I love it!! How amazing it is. This is what was in the e-mail.

There was a 'Reflections of Christ' photography exhibit recently on display at the Mesa Temple Visitor's Center in conjunction with the Easter Pageant produced by the LDS Church. The photographer was given permission to photograph Pageant cast members for the exhibit. The photographer worked with a few other individuals to put together a 5 minute slide show which includes every image from the exhibit set to the hymn 'Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.'

Blast From the Past: Disneyland



O.k. so this is supposed to be at the bottom of the next post.. Blogger said, No more pictures on this post. So... Right I was going to say... Pre-baby body... I miss you!

Blast From the Past: Disneyland


This is my Very first Disneyland trip to David. We had a lot of fun with eachother and John and Lara. You wouldn't know it but, I was so mad at Dave during most of the trip. He wouldn't even talk to me or pay attention to me, he says it's because he thought I was too hot and didn't want to "fornicate"


This is pretty funny. The farris wheel in California Adventure actually swivels as you go around and it freaked me out. Of course, Dave had to make fun.

We bought a year pass our first year in marriage. We went at least 9 times that year. We had sooo much fun! Ahh, lucky in Love.

Hubba Hubba! I love my Davo!!

Flashback Friday



O.k. so I'm starting out with the sappiest and sweetest. What can I say, If i did it different it wouldn't be me right? This is my grandma Lisonbee who I adored and loved sooo much. I used to say, "If my mom dies, I would die, and grandma too." I was so shocked to find out a few years ago that she was actually hard to be close to and love. I always felt her love and wanted to feel it all the time. She knitted this sweater for me.



This is another one of my favorite pictures! Grandpa Harmon was such an amazing man and I miss him often and wish that Dave was able to meet him. We had just been engaged weeks when he died. Grandpa was one of those people that had an amazing ability to become friends with anyone. I was always impressed by him. I also found at his funeral that he was an Electrical Engineer, and drafted often (I know my family never talks). I guess I know now where it came from. I was always wondering why I was interested in it.


I am excited to be doing this and hope I keep up with it. If anyone is up for doing the same, come on and join in the fun.

We love the Botanical Gardens




We finally had some sunshine, so we bolted it to the botanical gardens last week. Lauren wasn't quite sure yet about the water, but this is her first time this year at the children's garden so I'm sure she'll be splashing and playing along with Calli soon. This trip we had a first, the gardners came out to show us a newly hatched turtle. Isn't it so cute! They even let Lauren hold it. She was so funny about it. You can see how little it was. Here's a few more pictures of Lauren and Calli playing on the turtles. Calli would try to get on the frogs that were squirting, and Lauren would just sit there and laugh. It was pretty funny. Calli would be so excited because she would finally be on the squirting frog, so she could play with the stream of water coming out of it's mouth, then it would stop and another one would start. I should have taken video.

Ahoy Matey!







So we finally went to see the Navel Museum here. It is impressive these ships. Lauren thought it was pretty cool to walk around the ship. As you can see one link in the chain that holds the anchors is nearly her size, but weighs 120 lbs. It's just amazing how big and small these ships are. Big as in the anchors, actual hull and guns (gosh the guns are huge) small as in the cabins, computers and living areas. The museum was pretty cool too. Lauren really liked the torpedos and wheels.

Just a few pic's of pre-married life

Spring Pictures




I know these aren't studio style, but we thought we would still take some. Maybe someday we will actually pay to take a family picture ;)

(I kinda thought it would be fun to see how we've changed, mostly Lauren, since our last pictures)
