Mother's Day, 2010

Don and I managed to get a picture with all our grandkidlets..6 under 4. Chloe, Mia, Elijah, Lukie, Scarlett, and I'm holding the youngest, Savannah.

All of us mother's, Peggy, Alyssa, me, Diane, Mom, Cari and Shana

My sister's Diane and Peggy and my mom.

We had a BBQ for Mother's day where the men cooked. It was pretty awesome and great food. Joe and Shana and kids, Jim and Alyssa and kids, Cari and Juan and kids, my mom, my 2 sisters, ny nephew Carl, my brother in law Dennis and my brother in law Lee were all here. It was such a fun day and as my mom is now 91, I don't take these days for granted anymore.

Over Spring Break we went to Palm Springs with Joe and Shana, Chloe and Eli and of course Sage. Cari and Juan, Scarlett and Savannah were in San Diego and came up for a day to play with their cousins. While we were there, we got to experience an earthquake. Number 4 for me in my lifetime as a native Californian. This one was very exciting. We, Shana and I, with Chloe in the pool, were out by the pool and our chase lounges were just rocking. We could hear things in the house falling off of shelves. We heard later that it was a 7.2 that was located in Mexico very close to the San Diego border. After the initial quake, at 3:40 on Sunday, we experienced about 3 tremors over the next day and a half. It was really nice to get out of the rain and gloom of northern California for a week.
