"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."
-Gordon B. Hinckley

Here comes the sun!!

We got a little taste of summer this weekend, and we are hooked! Brody is taking some time off from the indoor soccer world, but is still playing with the ward on Saturday mornings, and loves it!
Now that we have Saturdays wide open we have been talking about all the things we would love to do---and this Saturday we ended up at Balboa Island!

We ate at Picante Martin's--an all time fav! It was so crowded that we got it to go and ate it out in the sun! =)
Walking by Dad's we couldn't resist the opportunity to munch on some hippos!
We took a nice leisurely walk around the Island and came across this guy who had some beautiful paintings of the Island. It was really fun to look at his work!
It was such a beautiful day!! We stopped many times and just enjoyed our surroundings, we even went down a little pier!
When we came to the ferry, we hopped on!

Ended up in the Fun Zone...
and played some ski ball! =)

After playing around on Fun Zone side of things, we headed back to Balboa! =)

It was such a blast just being out in the sun enjoying the beautiful area we live in!! We are looking forward to summer (or at lest more nice sunny days) and many more fun outings! =)
Oh, on Friday Brody & Mike went to the PGA Toshiba Classic in Newport (and got on TV =) )---while he was there and after I got home from work, I got an itch to re-do a corner of our bedroom! This is where our desk and computer used to be and when we moved it out to the front room, this area needed some help! So I taped it off and did a little make-over!
The lines aren't perfect, but it's close enough =)....
I love it so much!! It was so fun to do!
Also, on Saturday night we had the opportunity to chaperon the Irvine Stake youth dance! We did this about a year ago, and we always have a lot of fun doing it! We ran into a lot of the youth we know, including the kids of the lady who runs the indoor soccer Brody was in, and they really wanted him to come back and play! =)
We busted a lot of gum chewers, headed band wearers and bare footers, hung out with friends, danced, and I made up a new dance move called "The Putt"! It was a lot of fun and brought back a lot of memories of when we used to go to Irvine Dances (including a couple years of Brody and I going to these dances at the same time and never knowing it!) =)
