Caleb's Graduation

He's all done with High School. Now on to other great things. We are so proud of you Caleb and all that you have achived in school. You got great grades, had fun and applied yourself well.

Prom

Handsome Caleb and beautiful Rachel all decked out for a fun night at Prom.

Civic

This morning when Caleb woke up and went to school he came back in and told us of the great surprise he got when he got to the car. He has been parking it in the road under the pecans trees because Jeremy and Joanna have been parking there cars in the driveway the last little bit. Anyway someone decided to have fun and be stupid and smash in the window on the car. Thankfully they didn't take anything. So I had to make all the fun phone calls  to get it fixed. Keeps life exciting around here.

Dolly Cruise

Doug and I had a fun little adventure up to Canyon Lake last Saturday the 14th. We went on the Dolly Cruise. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. We sat in the front seat just inside the door because I didn't want to sit for one and a half hours in the sun. We had only been gone for about fifteen minutes and a jet set went by a sprayed the fourteen people that were out on the front deck. It was one of the best things on the trip. To see an older lady that had white gauze pants get soaking wet and cling to her bare butt. She might have had a thong on but couldn't tell. All of her friends were pointing and laughing at her. We also saw six big horn sheep and some turkey buzzards. It was a fun day activity.

Princess Disney on Ice

A couple of weeks ago I took Keegan and Kierra to Disney Princess on ice. It was really fun. Keegan's comment was kinda funny "Grandma I was really skeptical about going but it turned out really good. Anytime you want to take me I will go with you". Kierra was in awe she loved watching the different princesses. The first half was six different ones and the second half was the story of Cinderella.

We were sitting down pretty close because I was able to get tickets before they were sold to the general public. I thought that I would get a bunch of really awesome pictures but the man in front of me was really tall and seemed to move his head in the way everytime I tried to take a picture and the lady next to him turned around and gave me a dirty look everytime the flash went off. I tried to take some without the flash but the shutter is slower then and they all turned out blurry.

So I didn't get any of the kids at the arena but got one when we got home.

Thanks to Tiffany and Drew

When Tiffany and Drew were dating we started the tradition of making cinnamon rolls on General Conference Sunday. We have continued that tradition and are so thankful for starting something so yummy and fun for us to do between sessions. We thought that you (Tiffany & Drew) might like to see what your missing. We sure miss you guys and the fun times! We love you and think of you often especially when we do stuff like today.

                                                                 Eat your hearts out.

The rest of the trip

Here is just a quick glance at the rest of our San Francisco trip. It was full of fun and adventure everyday. The first day there we didn't have a lot of time to do anything by the time we got there and checked in, but we did walk around the city close to where we were staying. Way too many pictures taken to describe each one. We had so much fun each and every day. A great vacation. A wonderful place to visit but definitely wouldn't want to live there.

We went to Pier 39 which has a bunch of neat shops, and a bunch of sea lions.

 At the bottom of Lombard street

 This guy in the gold was a real live man. He was all decked out in this gold outfit and was really fun to take a picture of. Some of the live statues were kind of mean but he wasn't.

 The wax museum had a few statues out front that we took pictures of because it cost way too much to go in.

 We went up to Coit tower on a clear day and you could see out everywhere it was really cool.

Alcatraz was really interesting. Worth the money and time.


The wharf was fun, it has a salt water taffy shop that was huge. A lot of other shops. We spent two different afternoons there. On the wharf there is tons of statues that Shandraya posed with.








Aquarium at the Sea was ok but a lot like the California Academy of Sciences that we had gone to a couple of days before. At the Academy of Sciences they have an awesome bird and butterfly aviary (enclosed dome) that is three stories high that you wrap around the edge while observing the birds and butterflies.

The cable cars were a lot of fun to ride on and would take you almost anywhere you wanted to go.

The cable car museum was real interesting to see how the cable cars work. The fortune cookie factory was the best thing in China town.
The rest of it was just a bunch of stores that sold trinkets and kinda junky stuff

One day we were walking around and went into a little shop that had open food out everywhere near china town. Doug took a picture and the lady got really mad at him.

Muir Woods

On Tuesday the 15th we headed out across the Golden Gate bridge and on up north to see Muir Woods. It started to rain on us just as we were trying to get a family picture with the bridge. We drove on up to the woods and it rained the whole time we were there. We were prepared with our umbrella but many people weren't and they were soaked.
Muir Woods was one of the prettiest places that we visited. It was so quite and serene. Tons of huge trees to see. To give you an example of how big the trees are we have the Jones tree huger family in one picture. We even saw two different rare banana slugs, Caleb really enjoyed the second one. Another exciting day on our trip.
