California, April 2007


We drove to California to see Natalie get baptized and made a side trip along the way - to see Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ernie! Trudy is Jeff's half sister that we haven't seen since their Dad passed away (six years). Trudy and Ernie live in Redding, CA. It was only a few hours out of our way to go see them, so we did! It was fun to see where they live and to spend some time with them. Jeff has tried hard to keep a relationship with his siblings - not easy to do! We were so glad we took the time to go see them.
We had fun in Livermore seeing my side of the family and being part of Natalie's baptism. It was also fun to tell everyone our exciting news - we are having another baby! Everyone was pretty shock but excited for us.
We also were able to spend Easter with both my brothers (Scott and Eric) and their families. I have to say after four hotels and too many hours of driving to keep track of, and Ethan hating every minute in his car seat...we were glad to get home!!!

Birds!

For some reason these swallows decided our front porch would make a great home! All the babies (5) ended up falling out of the nest - not a great sight to see. The Dad and Mom bird kept trying to make another nest on our porch, but one mess was enough. We had to spray down their nest every night to keep them away!

Fishing, April 2007







Uncle Blake took Jeff, Justin and Uncle Justin to Strawberry Lake for a fishing trip. They had a great time - Justin even caught several fish that we enjoyed eating that night!
