Cameron Loves Elephants!

Clever isn't he.

More of So Cal

Tuesday we toured the USS Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego:

Ahoy, maties!
Cameron thinks sleeping in bunks stacked three high wouldn't be so bad...

Airplane! 2009

This is where planes are catapulted off the deck.

Then, today (Wednesday) we went to the San Diego Zoo. This hippo is so cute!!! He's underwater and was swimming all over his tank--it was so cool.

Ahhh, Potter. This is an albino Burmese Python.

And this is a baby chimp (so cute) I'm videoing thru a glass wall so there's a little glare.

So Cal Trip

We're trying to do some educational stuff like.....

we visited Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, in Oceanside.

Then we spent the afternoon flying kites on the beach and watching Cameron...

GET OUTA SAN DIEGO

Happened to fall on the WORST time possible!!!! *@#$*!#@#%!!!!!
No need to risk life for the swine flu---please let me know you have stayed out of restaurants and crowds of any kind. A crowdless beach is the only good place... (maybe)
I wouldn't even let the hotel maid service in you room until you check out!!! ---Callllllll me!

Reason # 87

Reason #87 to get a blog (cough cough JeNae):

87. BLURB

Huh?

Yeah, you heard me, "BLURB!!!" So I found it on Ben Brasher's blog (well actually his wife posted it) in a post about publishing your blog into a book. Cuts out stupid boring overendulgent scrapbooking... UGH.

Anyway, I'm super excited!!! Thanks for posting about this Emmy (Ben's wife)!

So JeNae, no more scoffing about blogging! It's a fast easy way to journal our lives and have a cool yearbook each year. SO START ONE TODAY!!!

K, I better take some more pictures so I can blog more. Hee hee.

50th POST!!!

Oooh oooh ooooh.... I want to be the one to post our 50th post!!! Woo weeee. Wow, it doesn't seem like we've posted 50, and in such a short time. We are so cool.

Thank you all for your well deserved (oops that slipped) birthday wishes. We had a small quiet dinner tonight in honor of aging. The cake was horrific as far as taste (except the chocolate fondant - oh so yummy), so much for trying new cake batter recipes. But I enjoyed myself amongst the small chatter and laughter while resting my feet. Slam dunk - another year!

I love you all... you all need to move back to C.A. (NORTHERN...Randy)

Spring Break

Spring break is here in Utah and so is the Wendell family.

Lyla attracted all the old ladies at Apple Village:)

Kitty hid from Lyla in our bedroom and bathroom.

Randy and Lyla had fun at the duck pond and park.

Lyla and G-pa at the duck pond.

Two of Cameron's buddies from Cali are here also--Cody and Brant. They are very cute. JeNae took them snowboarding today. A bunch of kids from the ward came to hang here tonight.
We all are thinking of Liv and wish her a happy birthday today!
