We had a wonderful time at the Braithwaites. They always have such great decorations and food. It was nice being with family. Thanks.

We also had a great Christmas day. We are thankful for the birth of our Savior.

We hope you all had a great Christmas.

Thanksgiving week 2008

Twilight

It was fun to see this with all the fans but especially with family and yes there were men and boys there. The movie ended at about 2:30 am.
The movie itself was really great. It stuck pretty good to the book but as with movies some things change and you don't quite get the depth of relationships as with a book. I would totally recommend this movie. While most swooned when the actor who plays Edward came on screen the first time, I couldn't help but be disappointed, he didn't fit what I thought Edward should be. He did grow on me though. I will be seeing it again with my husband and son. Thanks to Marissa for getting in the line first to save us a spot. You rock.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Halloween party 2008

The Big 50!

Keith turned 50 today. We went to Lucille's BBQ, Yummy! Came home for cake and presents.

The candles say OH NO THE BIG 50
with other candles that say 50 all over.


I sure hope his wish comes true!


Ah, now I can relax. Right?


He got this sundae free at Lucille's.


A new Razor. Yipee.


Devin and I sure love this guy. We hope he is around for a long time. He is a great husband, friend and father.

The party

Devin had a party with his friends on Friday. They all had a great time. There was music and visiting out back. Rock band inside and playing games out front. Devin says he now feels like a 16 year old.


putting up the final touches.

playing Rock Band.


blowing out the candles.

He was glad to have so many friends to share his birthday with and the loot he received wasn't bad either. I have to say that I was surprised at how many gift cards and cash he received.

The day is finally here!

Devin is now 16.
Strawberry cheesecake, yummy.

his new watch

having some fun

We went to Red Lobster for dinner.

He will have a party with friends on Friday, so more pictures will follow.

a new school year

Can you believe summer is over? It went by too darn fast. I can't believe Devin is a junior this year. Where has the time gone? I can still remember him in pre-school.

Labor day weekend

The first picture shows how our weekend started out. Devin was determined to make it miserable. It all started because Keith and I at the last minute decided to go to San Diego. We left Saturday morning and got back about 5 pm on Sunday. Devin was going to prove we couldn't make him have fun. It lasted to late afternoon Saturday but then he came out of it. We found out the main problem is he is not a spontaneous person. He needs warning if we are going to do something. He ended up having a good time and he did enjoy most of the weekend. Saturday we went sightseeing, ate pizza and saw a movie. Sunday we went on a 2 hour harbor cruise and then came home.

they did the bridge this way

so it would look like mission bells when they were lined out.
