Autumn

The first days of autumn bring fall leaves, warm days and crisp cool nights. Summer baseball ended with the Petri's supporting their Padres even tho their season left alot to be desired. The boys had fun and the San Diego evening was beautiful. The boys and Otis hope that the Chargers will have a better season. We finished off summer with a trip to Scripps and visited an octopus at the tide pools. October brought us to Bakersfield to celebrate Layne's birthday. We love fall!

Summer Vacation

This year our family (missing one member :o( (Layne was working and going to summer school) drove to Wyoming and met up with the Vandermydens for a week filled with mountain biking horseback riding and river rafting and Cowboy dinners. Wyoming is beautiful country we biked more miles than I ever have in my life on mountain trails. It was a great summer trip.

First days of Summer

We started summer this year with a wedding (Tim and Leona Hinkle) and watching Seth play baseball. Seth really improved this year as it was his first year to play. Layne came home for a few weeks so we took a weekend and went to Huntington Beach for a family get away. We stayed at a beautiful hotel across from the beach. It was a great weekend get away.

Santee and Buttonwillow

Our convention season just ended. Filled with special days, we attended Santee I and then some of Santee II and went up to Buttonwillow for the first time for the weekend to visit our daughter. It was wonderful to see friends at Buttonwillow that we don't get to meet with at Santee. At Santee we had several of our young kids start out. It was a bumper crop with ten young kids just our field!

Bridal Tea

Leona's sister Savannah put on a beautiful tea for her sis in honor of the bride to be.
