  So much FUN, so little time!!

 We are back in San Diego and loving it!  We do miss our families. 

We wish you a great 4th of July.



More from this Spring. Easter and our move.

 We had a great time this Easter coloring eggs.

 

 Brody and Blake got in the act.  Grandpa was too interested in the TV.

 Gavin and Adia had fun writing on the eggs and then coloring them.

 We held our Easter party the week before Easter because my work required us to move to San Diego.  The contracts out at Dugway had slowed down for a while and they needed me back in San Diego to work.  So one of the first things we did was go to the beach.  I love watching the pelicans fly low over the water.

We are staying at our favorite hotel while we look for a condo to live in here. 

 Here is a picture of the front of my office.  Our company owns over 20 buildings just in the area near our hotel.  There are lots more scattered around San Diego.

 

 Out on the Del Mar Beach.  It just goes on and on.

 

It's May already and I haven't kept up the Blog.  So in a few short pictures I will try to bring everything up to date. We moved in on Halloween!  We moved in to our home in Layton on Halloween too!  26 years separated the moves.  We love our new home.  A few weeks after this picture they did finish the landscaping.  Right after they put the sod down it snowed.

 A picture of our family room.  I am not sure who is on the TV and we did get a new stand to put the TV on.  Below is our front room and entry.  It provides lots of light into the home.

We has several good snow storms that left lots of snow.  It was exciting watching the clouds roll in and sometimes we couldn't see the homes just below us because the clouds were so thick.

Here is just one of the may rainbows that we saw from our deck.  And on a clear day we can see Idaho!

More to come, it's time to go to Church.

It's been a few months since I have updated this blog but better late than never.  We came back last summer from San Diego to find our new house being framed up.  It was exciting to see it progress.  We did sell our home in Layton to a very nice family, the Kings.  We moved from there in September to a condo near our new home in North Salt Lake.

Here are some pictures in our condo.  We had Amelia come and stay for a while and a girl who is Lori's pen pal from Brazil was staying with Lori and also was there.  I will have to find those pictures.

Back to San Diego

Rick's work took us back to San Diego on New Year's Eve. We drove down the Rose Parade route and went and saw several floats.  It was fun to see them in person and then watch them on TV on New Year's Day.

The we went to our favorite place, the BEACH!   We stayed for a couple of months this time and went to the beach and watched the sunsets.

 One day we went Whale Watching in a very large ship.  Jo was a great Captain!

 We took this picture from Coronado Island looking back at downtown San Diego.  You notice we always wear sunglasses outside.  They make us look cooler...

And no trip to California would be complete without a trip to the Happiest Place On Earth!! 

Disneyland!  We are in the upper right hand.  Jo is waving to everyone!

Christmas Parties

We had several Christmas parties that were lots of fun.  We had the Dahl Family at my parents.  Notice the lights on the wall on the right.

Adia was the Mother Mary for the Christmas Story.  Brody was asleep or he would have been the Baby Jesus. 

We had our small family party and had lots of fun unwrapping presents. It was great to have Jared and Amelia and Henry with us.  We enjoyed Henry but I don't think he liked the cold weather too much.

The final party was the Petterborg party.  We went down to Todd and Melissa Barlow's church. 

After all these parties we all scattered.  Jared and Amelia and Henry went back to Ft Lewis, Washington.  Jordan is going back to USU in Logan.  And JoAnn and I are going back to San Diego for work for several weeks.  It beats the cold weather in Dugway. 

Big East Wind

Then came the EAST WIND.  We noticed the layer of white clouds that looked like a long ribbon of white cotton over the mountains and with-in a day or so the wind blew up to 100 miles an hour.

 Here are some pictures of our home.  We had the fence blown down and lots of shingles blown off the house.  Almost everyone in the neighborhood lost shingles or siding.  The wind started at night and lasted until the next afternoon.  It looked like a tornado went through the cities.

  The golf courses in Davis County from Bountiful to Layton lost several hundred trees!  Poor golfers.

We were able to put the fence back up and braced it for a while. And Jordan and Jared helped repair the shingles on the roof.
