Merry Christmas!!!!

We hope all of you have had a great Christmas. We have! This morning we woke up to the most beautiful sun rise I have ever seen!!! The whole sky was glowing.

We have enjoyed a nice relaxing day.
The kids enjoyed opening their gifts and have been playing non-stop (so has Dave).
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Are we floating away?

  My mom called me yesterday saying Bakersfield had been on the news the last two days. Were we floating away? I am happy to report that  Bakersfield is Not totally flooded. Their are a few streets that they had closed off, but most of the town is just very wet. The vineyards and orchards are soaked but not completely flooded. After four days and nights of rain it finally stopped and the sun came out all day yesterday. This morning we woke up to more rain, but just a little drizzle, not a downpour. We are doing great and are nice and dry.

A Great Day

  Yesterday Kristine came up to us and asked if she could be baptized. So today Dave baptized her at the pool here at the park. It was very cold in the pool this morning! She has been radiant and joyful all day long. She keeps saying, "I'm just so happy!" We are very thankful for our daughter and her decision.
This was right after we got home.
 Kristine told me," This was one of the best days ever!!"

Happy Late Thanksgiving!!


I know it is very late, but Happy Thanksgiving!! We hope everyone had a great one. We did! With this being our first Thanksgiving away from family, I was determined to make it a great one.We started our day with happy face pancakes, home made hash browns, oranges from the tree on our lot, and hot cocoa.


Then we played at the little park here, rode scooters, played in the dirt, and the kids helped me make rolls to go with dinner.
We had a very nice day and had fun making this Thanksgiving special. We are doing good out here in California. But I must say I am NO city girl!! :-)
