F-A-M-I-L-Y!

We spent the last few days with some of our family! My niece was baptized on Saturday and we were so happy that we could be there to be a part of that day! Since we had Wednesday off due to Veteran's day and N8 had Friday of for Flex, we took Bud out of school Thursday and Friday and took off on our trip Wednesday morning. On Thursday morning we got some new family pictures taken!! I love having a current family picture!

On Friday we drove over to San Francisco and went to the zoo. The kids of course loved it and the animals cooperated by being visible in the cages!

After the zoo we stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge to take a few pictures. While we were there my brother in law convinced N8 he should run across the bridge and we would drive over and meet him on the other side! N8 was up for the challenge and did a great job!

On Saturday we got to go to my nephews robotics competition. Their team built a lego robot and it completes different tasks by following a computer program the kids write. Bud loved watching it. I hope that he can be involved in something like that when he gets older!

Then we had my nieces baptism. There were 3 children getting baptized. Everything went smoothly and she is now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!

We love visiting family and had a great time. We're looking forward to seeing them again this next week at the Happiest Place on Earth (aka: Disneyland!!!)

My Katie had the same baptism dress. Best 17 dollars at Costco you'll ever spend!

These pictures are priceless! What a fun trip full of memories. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to do the same. By the way, I'm so glad that Benjamin's EEG showed he wasn't having strokes. I just pray that the arm shaking is just a habit and nothing else. You're a great mom!!
