Happy Birthday Sara!!!

Sara turned 28 today:) We had a lovely day and tomorrow Clark is taking Sara out for brunch (mmm) There have been so many messages and phone calls and it's been a great day...the weather even played along (Sara likes the cold! and we definitely got some of that!...read on...)

Sara busy chatting to Mom - miss her too much:(!!!! Love you mom! xxx

Aunty Viv, Uncle Phil and aunty Yvonne came over for lunch...we had yummy soup, Italian bread, avo spread, garlic spread and pesto salad:) then aunty Viv made strawberry and cream cake for us:) Yummy yummy yummy:)

We took everyone for a ride in the afternoon to the apple orchards in Oak Glen and then decided to go and see if there was snow in Forest Falls...and there was! This picture doesn't do the snow justice - there was lots more of it!!! Lovely weather for Sara:) in May!

Devo and Leilani gave us a nice surprise when they came over in the afternoon with their precious girls - it was great to see the Kritzingers again - the cherry on top of a lovely birthday:)

Lia is turning into such a pretty young lady:) She's a girl after Sara's heart - they were absorbed in "The Sound of Music" for the evening (as you can see if you enlarge the above photo - Sound of Music's playing in the background!) We heard all about Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty (we mustn't watch that one cause it's too scary!) Gotto love little girls!!!

Unfortunately Leilani is not in the picture - since she was taking it:) but don't those girls look so cute and cuddly???

Freaky Weather!

We are supposed to be entering summer but we have had the wierdest weather since Thursday afternoon - torrential rain, hail, snow and even tornados!!!! This is Southern California in May! What's going on????

Recent Comings and Goings

A few Sunday's ago, Clark was bored sitting around the house and so we decided to get out to Oak Glen and go for a little hike in the apple orchards...beautiful scenery, lovely weather - was a nice impromtu outing for us:)


Last weekend, Janine was visiting from New York and wanted to spend Sabbath on the beach! so of course, since it was like 100 degrees out in Loma Linda - we were all to happy to comply with her request:) The beach was MUCH cooler than anywhere else - the place to be on a sweltering hot day!

Clark and Jesse had fun boogy-boarding...I think Clark is going to enjoy having another young man around in the family! The two of them are always game for something - so much energy!!!

It was nice to see aunty Yvonne again (she arrived the weekend before for Carly's wedding in July - VERY exciting!)...here are the Lansdown girls with aunty Yvonne...we miss Janine:(
