A great Sunday!

Mark gave a great talk in church yesterday on faith, prayer and action , he had a quote he used and everyone wanted a copy so I thought I would post it here------

"if you keep doing what your doing, you'll keep getting what your getting."

and the other one was---

"If you want something you've never had before, you must be willing to do something you've never done before".

He is gone to Mexico so many weekends, it was really fun having him home! He did a really great job too!

Bridget is recovering fast and looking beautiful with her new baby in her arms. Presley is doing wonderful over at Grammie Darla's but has a hard time leaving after her visits with her new little sister and Mom. We ran over after church with my Mom and Dad so they can see their new great grandbaby.

Dustin's sweet parents!

Our Sweet Tess Is Here!

Presley is a very happy BIG sister! We are so excited to welcome our 9th grandchild! Tess came very fast this morning. Bridget and Dustin arrived at the hospital about 5a.m. and she was born at 7:01! She weighed 6lbs. 2oz. and is 191/2 inches long. She is so tiny and of course beautiful! Bridget is doing great and we can't believe she just had a baby!

Cabin and Tonto Creek

I've decided the kids have a lot more fun at the cabin than anywhere else we could go! After they played at Tonto Creek, they said this was more fun than Disneyland! They can't wait to1 go back again. This is such a tradition in our family---when I was a kid we would go to the Creek and float in a little boat my Grandma brought for us to play in. Then my kids did the same thing with their cousins. This is the third generation!

newport beach

We had a nice week in Newport Beach! The kids loved the beach, we had fun shopping, going to the fashion district, lots of late night laughing and talking and lots and lots of eating!
