Here's Our Latest Trip

Here's our latest trip. David and I went to Portland, Oregon for the weekend to celebrate our 17th anniversary. Neither of us had ever been before and we had a fabulous time. The weather was gorgeous, sunny and in the 70s and everything was green. We also had the opportunity to meet up with a friend from Reedley College days, which was incredibly fun! Here are a few pictures of what we did and saw.

Annual Spring Break Trip to Death Valley

A Saturday morning treat as we played dominoes in the backyard!

Alright...who put this guy in our yard???
I love him, but who did it?

The weekend after Thanksgiving, David and I volunteered to chaperon for the Reedley High School Marching Band's trip to Disneyland and Hollywood. Hannah and Sam tagged along and we had a ton of fun. The buses left Reedley before dawn and we arrived in Anaheim before noon. It was a great day and the crowds were light enough that we were able to ride on 18 rides before we left! The highlight was the RHS Band marching down Mainstreet. The band filled the entire length of Mainstreet and they looked and sounded terrific!

The following day, the band marched in the Hollywood Christmas Parade. That was our first trip to Hollywood and the parade was great. After the parade, it was back to the buses for the trip back to foggy Reedley.

Our New Kitty, Honey!

During the first week of October, Hannah brought home 3 kittens that she found on her way home from school. This one, Honey, was the first one she found. She was around 5 weeks old and pretty wild! She wouldn't let anyone hold or catch her. Now she is a honey!

Flat Stanley Came to Visit

Our kids' cousin Hope, who lives in Massachusetts, is sending Flat Stanley around the country and the world as part of a class project. We were lucky enough to have him stop here, in Reedley this past weekend. We had such a good time taking him around the area. It was great to share about what makes Reedley Reedley. This was Hannah's (and my) first try at making a video/movie. I know the timing is SLOW but that is so that Hope's class can read it. Next time, we'll try adding music or something. See what you think...
