The greatest joys in life are experienced in happy family relationships... the cultivation of a happy home requires effort and energy, forgiveness and patience, love and endurance and sacrifice, but it is worth all of this and more. -Gordon B. Hinkley

Went back to Cali













I went to CA this weekend to spend time with my family and we had the best family get-together in honor of my Papa C, who passed away Jan. 25th. It was so wonderful to all be together and I could just feel how happy Papa C must have been to see it too. I missed my own little (that is a relative term, I guess!) family, but the kids were very well taken care of by Andy!

I just love my family so much. It is the best feeling to see them happy and doing well. The time we spent together went way too fast of coarse and I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I should have. But I thought I would share a few from the weekend...
ps., yes that is me blowing up like a balloon!! 5 more weeks!

Whatever, you are still pretty small considering!! What great pictures! The one of you girls w/ Auntie Jo is great. It must have been nice to be with all the family to celebrate Papa C. He was a wonderful man. You guys all look beautiful as usual.

It was so good to see you. You do look incredible. I hope someday soon we get to see you again... even if we have to come to you. :) Take care of that baby in your belly..... can't wait to see pictures of her.

Oh Jen! I am so glad you got to see all of your family - and the picture of your mothers grave is beautiful. You look great (as always)!
