Enjoyed making this cake for Axel's party after study mtg tonight. He really enjoyed the candy off it.

A fun day at Kent and Jacinda's for Axel's second birthday. He enjoyed his musical card ... opened and shut it watching us dance to the music. He felt he had control of something!

Adelynn helped Axel with his cake. Sweet grandchildren. =)

The first sign of spring. This fat robbin was on our front porch glider. The second sign of spring is that we are home from Arizona.

The kids don't get much sweeter than this!

The kids had a little play time before Bible study on 4/22/2009. Sweet Addy enjoyed her toys. Axel loved the weights, which were very heavy but not for him!

Enjoyed our time with our grandchildren last night.....we were very tired from our trip so don't look too great, but it was worth our time to be with Kent, Jacinda, Axel and Adelynn. Jacinda made a delicious meal for us and we had family time afterwards.

Mike enjoying his "private" pool which quite often is the case.

We'll be leaving our beautiful park on Thursday to come back to our beautiful yard in MN. Will need to do clean-up there, for sure. We are looking forward to being family and friends again there.

A very tall saguaro cactus.

Enjoyed scenery in the desert today. Some new flowers. It's dry again so the desert won't bloom as paradise this year, but more blossoms are coming!

These are some of the neat San Diego flowers/landscaping in the kids' neighborhood. Very sweet!
