Gwen loves chopsticks. I stuck these in her hair and she

sure did look more asian.

As a fieldtrip we went boxcar racing. As always on this island, I drove around for an hour and a half trying to find something that is only 8 miles from my house. But the kids still had plenty of time to have fun.

Christmas Eve in Hawaii. We went on a whale watching cruise for 3 hours. The kids were sick almost the entire time, but they did have fun.

We got married 12 years ago here in the Oakland Temple. My Mom came out and watched the 4 kids while we flew to San Francisco for 6 days. We were able to go into the temple and help others who have passed on to the other side be sealed for time and all eternity like we are. As we walked around we couldn't help being overwhelmed with how much we have been blessed, and how great our life has been since we chose to make sacred covenants in this temple.



Here we are in the pretty lobby of our hotel that was built in the 1800's.
