Water Works Park

We just had the most fabulous weekend with Pam, Jamie, Melissa and Jillian! We went to the water park in Redding. Dean and I LOVED playing with you all.. Pam is napping in the back, she is so wonderful! Look how cute Jillian is, our sweet niece. Dean and I LOVED playing with her, she was keeping us going the whole day! So GREAT..
Melissa is one of the funniest people I know, everytime I am with her she makes me laugh. We love you Melissa!
Jamie is my chill'en buddy.. We would get in the lounge pool, Jillian and I were the motorboats and Jamie the precious cargo!


This was by far the best ride! Dean, Jillian and Melissa almost touched the top.. Melissa was crazy enough to go down by herself and BACKWARDS!!!! The rest of us didn't have enought gutts to do that.. It was such a fun day, our family is awesome..

Reno Vacation

Dean and I at went to Reno right after summer school got out, we needed time away after our long classes. We started of in no better place than Circus Circus!! Dean loves elephants and I tame them... Ahh

We stayed on the 20th floor of the Nugget and while glancing down from our window we say a farmers market right in front! We had a great time walking around eating raosted corn (SO GOOD!!), fresh lemonade and Dean saw a greman hotdog stand and couldn't pass up the chance. So on behalf of Coltton we got one.. And let me tell you that is the LAST German hot dog I'll eat. It was very dry, even with loads of mustard.. Dean choken it down like a champ!





The Best thing about Reno is the ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET!! We loved dressing up and going to the Silver Legacy, they had an all you can eat Seafood. Dean tried Oysters, he loved them with a little tabasco. Yes he is a crazy man! I stuck with the crab and shrimp.. oh so good!

Now, Dean and I love going to the temple any chance we get. While on vacation we love visiting the temples in the area. It is such a wonderful feeling everytime we go, full of real JOY. This is the Reno temple, it is smaller than Sacramento, but full of love just the same..

Another Summer Day

It was another blazing hot day in Chico, so to escape the heat Dean, Mikell and I went to a river in Oroville to cool off. That sure did the trick! The water was so refreshing. We soaked up the sun with our $1 floaties from good old walmart and drinking ice cold rootbeer. Yeah, it was great!
Dean and I have found a new favorite pass time.. Bocce Ball! We keep it in our car so we can play it anytime. While I was working on my tan, Mikell and Dean couldn't pass up a chance to Bocce. It was so entertaining..Being that we were on top of a hill the ball kept going in to the water. It was wonderful.
