Gwen's birthday and Julie's wedding

Gwen had her 2nd birthday on February 8th. We then traveled to St. George for Julie's wedding. Marianne's cousin watched our children during the wedding and we hope to see them again in the future.

Birthday and Shower

Steven's mother had her 89th birthday in January and Gwendolyn is shown playing with another girl in the ward. Marianne helped organize a shower for a mother in our ward and got a lot of help from other women to make it a very colorful evening. The theme was Dr. Suess.

Christmas Day Dinner

Marianne prepared Christmas dinner for Steven's parents and later they came back to look at Hunter play with his new g-scale trains. G stands for garden scale trains. Ken helped me create extra shelving in the garage, to make room for the large train set.

5th Anniversary

For our 5th wedding anniversary, we took a cruise in the San Diego Harbor. We noticed a statue next to the Midway aircraft carrier museum about that 'end of world war II kiss' in New York. The next day we visited the remodeled Mormon Battalion visitor center where Hunter and Gwendolyn got to pan for gold. Earlier in the week we visited a large Christmas tree in a local mall, which my sister Diane had told us about.

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed having Marianne's family visit for Thanksgiving: Ken and Kathryn, Roy and Kathy, and Becky and Jim. We put together a fussball game and we had a lot of fun with it and with WII. We, Ken and Kathryn also went to the nearby Nixon Library where there were neat model train exhibits. Hunter loves trains and looked at them for about two hours.
