June 2010

By June, we had mostly moved into our new house. Here are our first house guests other than family, our good friends, the Thompsons. They came over for their daughter Juliana's 2nd Birthday.

Next is a picture of me and Lainie at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, after a Switchfoot concert.

We made it to the Switchfoot concert just in time to hear my favorite song, "Dare You To Move."

Next is Fathers Day, with Grandpa holding a very smiley Seth. We had our first big family dinner that day. It was a bit stressful, because we originally thought only Mom and Dad were coming, but then the rest of the family decided to come at the last minute, a total of 17 guests! Somehow it all worked out, though.

Next, we see us with the Hermansons, our friends from Blythe, CA, at the Silver Strand in Coronado. Their visits have started to become an annual tradition.

We celebrated our 3 year anniversarry at the Beach House, a nice restaurant in Cardiff by the Sea. It was fun going for a walk on the beach after dinner. All you had to do is jump over the rocks at the restaurant and you were on the beach.

We did a hike at Lake Hodges for family home evening one week. The kids loved it. I have been wanting to walk over that pedestrian bridge for a while.

Next is my niece Becky Mitchell at her mission homecoming. She returned from her 18 month mission to Kirtland, Ohio a very confident young lady.

Five of the seven children in my family were there for Becky's homecoming, so we took this nice picture with Mom and Dad.

Omar, my friend Anna's fiancee, finally went through the San Diego temple for his endowment. Here is the happy couple with me and a couple of Anna's girlfriends. They finally set their wedding day after 2 years of working things out.
