A day at the beach

Loved getting to spend a spontaneous day today at one of Virginia's beautiful beaches near Hamilton, Virginia. What a beautiful day! We went with a few of our good friends, and besides Mason not wanting to leave at all at the end (bribery is my friend), it could not have gone better. My boys and I got to carpool with one of the sweetest women I've ever met - Ashley So'oto. It was so good to be uplifted by her goodness to hear her stories about her interesting life and to share some stories with her about mine. Loved being there as well with other friends Chrissy (who organized this little get away - thank you!!), and Rainy Christensen. How am I so lucky to be surrounded in my life by such women?? Life is so blessed with good people in it, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I've almost never had a 3 hour drive each way go by so fast. What a good day!

"reading" books

fun to watch them playing together

um, how cute is he?? i love when I say, "Stan are you cute?" and he says, "ya!" Then I say, Stan, are you my baby. He says "I yo baby". Oh Stanley - please just never grow up!!

Mason my little fish (or Penguin)?

Mason and Ave enjoying a good snooze on the way home. Can't wait to show them this picture when they're both at BYU? in 14 years!!

So fun to watch him jump the waves

Thank you, Virginia for another heavenly day. We love you.
