Loving our cozy fleece pjs this month:

Erasing one line at a time:

Jeff took the boys camping with their Adventure Guides group and they loved riding their bikes and swimming for hours in the hot spring pools.  I asked the devoted Mr. Garland for a photo of the 3 of them, and this was what I got (wink wink Hi Honey!):

Josh is in the white/blue shirt on left. 

The girls and I were up early to help out with the Legoland Marathon Mile kids running race.  Sarah and Rachel palled around with Siena and (birthday boy – 12 years old!!) Sterling at the Expo:

…while the always lovely Mrs. Hansen and I handed out registration bibs to runners:

Our friends the McMahans at the finish line… hooray!  We may have to run this race ourselves one of these years.

My parents have this wonderful group of friends from church that they regularly spend time with…  the “Gourmet Group”.  Here they are in Newport Beach last week.  I love that my parents know how to have a good time with people goofy enough to wear these silly glasses that my dad made them wear.  They are great sports!

Sarah and Josh completed oral reports (and a model) on the San Luis Obispo de Tolosa California Mission last month.  They both did a great job!

Severe bed head:

Not sure if 5 crayons are heavier than a ruler?  Zac-the-balance-guy is your man:

Special video on adoption that I loved.

I’m laughing (and crying).  Can anyone relate?

Blessings to you all!
