Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Mother's Day 2009 started with a shower and a note under the door from Miss M (ahhh... Mothers are grateful for daughters!!!).

Followed by gifts from Dear Hubby (thanks Babe) and a beautiful handmade card from Miss M (did I mention mothers are grateful for daughters???)

A new hot pink ipod nano?  (To replace to one stolen out of car on driveway grrrrrr!!!)  

And all the accessories!

Lunch with the Fam at Islands... celebrating Mom!  (Thanks Grampie!)
And one more SURPRISE gift from Tiffany & Co.

THANKS BABE!!!
High five-ing the surprise.
With the new "S" necklace.

Family Visit

It was a treat to have family in from TX and Lone Pine to visit!

We got to spend the whole day together... in down town San Juan Capistrano (on St. Joseph's day, and only 2 days before Swallow's Day) and then at the beach , then dinner at Grammie & Grampie's.

Apparently, Frank, Becky & Rachel will be moving to England for 3 years.  YIKES!  That is a BIG, yet exciting move.  I am a little jealous.  What a NEAT opportunity!  (Not a lot of call for job transfers in the appliance repair field :o/

Here are 2 photos from lunch at Ruby's in SJC.

New Year's Day at Walt's Place

Disneyland on New Year's Day was PACKED (had to park at Convention Center!)... you had to wait in LONG lines just to enter the parking structure, buy a ticket, or get into the park.  

CRAZY! 

But it sure was purty.

In front of the HUGE Christmas tree on Main Street

Christmas-y view down Main Street (Elle, Grammie, Jade, C)
