Kylie's 14th Birthday!!

Kylie turned 14 on April 25. She chose to go to El Palmar,like her brother,for her birthday dinner. She invited the Cobabe's (my sister Pam and her family) to come along with us and Grandma and Grandpa Coulam and Uncle Tom. We then came home and opened presents really quick before she took off to go to her first church dance. She was very excited about that!! I think she will remember it always!

17 Anniversary Get-Away to Fort Bragg

Warren and I have been married 17 wonderful years as of April 24, 2009. Warren surprised me for our anniversary this year! Usually we stay close to home because Kylie's birthday is the day after our anniversary. On Wednesday April 22, we went to Fort Bragg, which is 190 miles up the California Coast from us. It took us five hours to get there though because of the winding roads. Well worth it though! We stayed at the Surf and Sand Lodge. We had a wonderful suite that looked out over the ocean. It also had a huge jacuzi tub to relax in. We had a great time going to the beach and tide pooling (kind of, couldn't find much) and also taking a drive to some redwoods. Beautiful scenery!! Anyway here are some of the pics we took. Warren thanks for an awesome time!! Loved it. To top it off we came back on our anniversary and went to the Sacramento Temple and watched some of our friends get sealed to each other and their kids. Great Experience!! Couldn't have asked for a better anniversary gift.

Carlin's Baptism!

Carlin's 8th birthday was actually January 17th but she decided to wait until Matt turned 16 so he could baptize her. She got baptized on April 19th. The program went very well. Miranda gave an awesome talk on baptism and the holy ghost. Matt baptized her. He had to do it twice though because he didn't get her face completely under. Warren confirmed her. Thanks everyone for coming out and supporting her and Matt!!

Miranda's 11th Birthday

For Miranda's Birthday she chose to go to Hometown Buffet with the family and her best friend Anna. Afterwards we came home and opened presents. We were so stuffed from HTB we decided to save the cake and ice cream for the next day. We invited neighbors and friends to come eat cake and ice cream after school.
