50 And Spoiled!
I had such a great birthday 2 week celebration. I am definitely one spoiled girl and feel so loved.First Devin and Matt came up and we went to the Truckee river and did the river float.
saw a bear...

Britt and Mike came. We went to Joes Crab Shack on the Sacramento  River....

 Eric and I went to Oceanside and 
stayed in a beachfront bungalow.
Ate a lot of yummy food. We went
to the Sunset Market place....

 My friend Alona gave me this Dolly Parton rose bush when

my mom passed away. On special occasions it blooms. I missed the full

bloom because we were gone, but this was the bud ready to say happy birthday the day before.

Thank you Mom!

 I had a beautiful birthday on my favorite Beach. 

Divers Cove in Laguna Beach.

Love this lil Rea....

 For dinner we went to the Old spaghetti factory in Newport Beach.

Thanks everyone for making me feel special.

 Can sister's look more opposite?

 Then the celebration continued at Seaworld on Saturday.

 Reagan had a taste of a nectarine. 

She was a little upset when it was taken away.

What a perfect week, with all of my favorite people.

And happy one year to Britt and Mike!

 A New Beginning.....

It was a week of sadness and new beginnings. 

As I went to our home on Thunder Ridge Cir in Rocklin

for the last time, I bawled like a baby. As I went thru each room

I just had to snap a photo of this home. So many memories of my 

children growing up here. The Roses we planted. The painting we did. 

The landscaping. I have a grandchild from one of the Palms I am hoping

will make it. I uprooted it right before I left and put it in a pot.

 This was the hardest thing to leave behind. The measurements of my children throughout the years.

So now we have a new beginning in Granite Bay for now. 

The new house is coming along. We still have a  lot of unpacking to do.

And I need to figure out how to cover the ugly chain link fence.

 Let's call this May to June

It has been a busy two months. 

We decided to sale our home in Rocklin, Ca and move to 

Southern California. Things were looking great and then the job transfer

fell through. We decided to still sell the house and it sold in one day.

This is the last birthday picture in our home. We have always put the presents on the

fireplace hearth. Happy 22nd Trevor.

 We had visitors that wanted to say goodbye to the house.

First was the lil miss and her mom. We picked them up in SanFrancisco and spent the

day at Muir Woods.

 Love this happy girl!

 Then a unplanned trip to Washington with a layover in Long Beach 

where we were able to see lil miss Rae again.

 A beautiful blessing day with both brothers blessing their son's on the same day.

 Then a week later and lil Mr. came to see Oma and Epop

We are going to have withdrawals now. Love these to lil ones so much!
