Spibunny

This is a spiderbunny that Sloan drew earlier today. She calls it the Spibunny.

Sunday, Sunday, can't trust that day..........

Sloan, Tony, and Zoe

How fast my little Sloan is growing

I am now 5 months old

Our little drummer girl

Sara, Tony and Hailey

Today was a lovely day. The girl's and I went to church and didn't get to stay the whole time because Aris was so grumpy. Actually all my girls were less than pleasant to be around today. These are the day's that make you wish the Calgon commercials were real.
What was pleasant however, is that we were able to have Tony and Sara and their adorable little daughter Hailey over for dinner tonight. They were kind enough to watch our pup's while we were in San Diego. It is so nice to know that there are still kind neighbor's. Thanks you guy's.

Happy Birthday Roberta!

Today is Roberta's birthday. She is such a sweetheart. I hope this was a special day for her. I was able to talk to Grandma Carol and David this week. Everyone seemed to have an awesome Thanksgiving.

Today I met with Molly Dillon. Molly heads up the local JDRF chapter here in Reno and Sparks. For the past two years I have been involved with making thank you gifts for the different events that the JDRF puts on. The thank you gifts always go to the Chair person hosting the event. It has been such an honor to have the opportunity to do this. Today Molly asked if I would be on the board that is in charge of special projects for JDRF. I would just be one of many involved, but I am so excited to have the chance to help at a whole different level of this wonderful organization. So tomorrow I am working on 14 thank you gift's that are needed by Tuesday afternoon for Wednesday's "Walk for a cure" awards ceremony. I will post some pictures before I take them in on Tuesday. They are super cheesy, but that seems to be what some people like. I am using scrapbook paper and taking the hand prints of the different kid's diagnosed with diabetes, tracing them, cutting them out and using them to make a "paper" quilt. I did this for an auction at FBCC. It was a huge hit. Sooooo I am hoping it will be for this also. Wish me luck.

Last, but certainly not least........La Jolla

We came here the very last day of our visit. We left the lovely breezy beach and drove home to our cold and dreary Nevada. It's hard to go from that much green to lots of dead tree's. I love Nevada, don't get me wrong. It's just a different kind of beauty here. I told Dean that when we go back to San Diego in December I want to spend a day at the beach. This whole trip was such a special time for all of us. It reminded me how much fun it was to have family around. I am so very blessed to have Dean and his family in my life. This was truly a most wonderful Thanksgiving.

Our Day out

The architecture is amazing

This is a sculpture of Wednesday's castle. Wednesday is a fairy I think. This entire sculpture was made of things found in nature. You can't see them but there were these exquisite little fairies and a n amazing dragon. So very awesome.

One of the galleries in the San Diego Museum, we were told it was OK to take pictures. This old lady docent almost kicked my but after I took this picture. I seriously almost panicked, like I was a kid being caught doing something I wasn't supposed to. So this is why there are no more photo's of the "inside" of the museum.

A reflecting pool

Some children's costume hat's from China

This was a mixed media quilt. It was one of my favorite thing's aside from the Wednesday's castle sculpture.

This was such a fun day. Dean and I were able to go out for the day while his mom watched Zoe and Sloan. We had a blast. I can't wait to visit the museums again when we visit at Christmas
