Here are some pictures that I recently took of my niece and new nephew. I do have to say that it was a challenge to keep and new born and a 14 month old still. We are so happy to have Mr K and Miss L as members of our family.

San Francisco 2009

I had a chance to go on a girls trip to San Francisco with my mom, Raena (SIL) and Paula (cousin). We walked a lot and saw alot of things there. The weather was great, but it was at times really windy and cloudy.

(Reana, Paula, my Mom witing to go to Alcatraz)

The trip to Alcatraz was Freezing! It was windy and cloudy, the opposite of Arizona.

Alcatraz was amazing! There is so much history in such a small island. I wish Pher was there to see it, He would have loved it!

After Alcatraz, we went to the fishersman wharf. It was great with tons of cute shops! Plus, there we saw the aquarium, the seals, and ate yummy nutella and banana crepes.

We rode on a cable car and saw Ghiralerlli square. All of the girls brought chocolate back for our hubbies. We were able to ride on a double decker and saw the city and then we were able to explore the parts of town that we wanted to see.

Here we are about to enter Chinatown.

While at Chinatown, We found this hat in one of the stores and Paula had to try it out. There were a millon signs saying "no pictures please" but because this hat was too funny to pass up we broke the rules and took 2 pictures.

Here are more pictures from our double decker bus tour.

On Saturday, we were able to do a temple session, and enjoy the beautiful temple grounds.

(I was playing with textures. What do you think?)

That afternoon we went to Sausalito and saw the Muir woods. The trees were huge. They have done a great job protecting them, and they were so worth going. (look at how tall the trees are compared to Raena)

(I really like ho I blurred the guy in the picture)

On our way back from the Muir woods, stopped and saw the Golden Gate Bridge and it was amazing!! We were really excited to see it because almost the whole weekend it was covered with fog.

(place of fine arts)

Sunday was the day that we could see everything that we weren't able to see and do before we returned home.

We went to the Golden Gate Park and walked around the Japanese Tea Garden. Did you know that San Francisco and the bay area have the largerst Japaneese population in the United States? (I didn't)

Here is another fact: Washington DC and San Francisco were the only 2 cities that were given Cherry blossom trees by the Japaneese goverment.

Do these look familiar? These are the painted ladies that are at the begining of every full house episode. They were so beautiful and I want to buy one.

We took some pictures in front of Lombard Street the most croocked street in the world. That street is amazing! I fell bad for the people that live by it, because it was packed with tourists.

And we went home after this amazing trip. Pher is coming with me next time!

The latest and greatest

I figured since I haven't blogged in 4 weeks that I was due for a re-cap:

First things first, I miss Pher terribly!! And I am really happy that he comes home soon Ü.

Good thing that I have her (Pandora) to keep me company.

Pher is in Oklahoma with these lovely ladies. He is visiting family there and because of work I was not able to go.

On other exiting news, I am going to SAN FRANSISCO with 3 lovely ladies (mom, Paula-cousin, and Raena-SIL).

That was my exciting recap. After the trip to SF I will catch up on blogging.

White-Water Rafting

Because I am a Young Woman leader for my church, I have get to do a lot of fun activities. One of those fun activities includes white-water rafting. We had a lot of fun going down the Salt River. This trip was a high adventure activity for the 4th year camp girls. I hope that you enjoy the pictures. Thank you to the young women, leaders and our bishop, they made this trip very memorable. A thank you to my sweet husband, Pher, when I got hoe he was not there because he was getting dinner for me, because he knew that I was going to be hungry and tired. Thank You Pher!!
