March 2013 - Visit to Tyler and Rose


On March 1st - Tyler's Birthday - I flew to Sacramento for Baby Gracie's Blessing.  Tyler and Lila met me at the airport.  We ate lunch and picked Avery up from school and drove to their home on Hunter Place.


That afternoon we took a little hike down from the park on their street.


We tried skipping rocks in the little creek.

My friend Cynthia Benson Lovell (from my childhood days in Moreland) met me for lunch on Saturday 3/2/13.  She lives in Orangevale - close to Folsom.  We had a nice time catching up.


The swimming pool is in the backyard.

January 2013 - Xavier's Baptism


On January 26, 2013 I went to Orem, Utah for Xavier's Baptism.  It was a cold winter day with snow on the ground.  The chicken had gotten out of the coop, so Xavier carried her back and put her into the cop.



Xavier is dressed and ready to go to the church for his Baptism.  What a handsome young 8 year old.


Cousins ready for the baptism:  McKay, Isaac, Preston, Xavier, Anna Brooklyn, Eva.


Ryan and Xavier dressed in white.


After the Baptism we had a delicious lunch at the Robert's home.  Special sandwiches, chips, sparkling drink, and yummy brownies for dessert.


Ryan, Lincoln, and Candis at the fun center.

In the evening of January 26, the Roberts children were given the chance to choose a place to go for an activity.  Xavier chose the fun center where, in the next few photos you will see Xavier, Isaac and Anna climbing the wall.
