Blaine and Carrin

We now have 6 grandchildren. I love the ocean and Catalina is one of my favorites places. Blaine loves the mountains and fishing and hunting, he also loves Catalina. I have traveled across the US on the southern route. We went to college in Rexburg, Idaho when we first got married.

Fun Day At Knotts














The weather was perfect, around 78 during the day and sunny! We went on lots of rides, James rode his first big roller coaster, I was yelling on it with my eyes closed and James sitting next to me was saying weee... We went on the train ride and some fake train robbers came in with guns and bandannas on their faces, one pointed his pistol at James and said "got any money" James had the most stunned look on his face and put up his hands palms up and shrugged his shoulders, I wish I had a camera for the look on his face, we then explained they weren't real robbers when Andrew was about to cry. Devonn, Carla and the boys rode the log jammer while Quinn, Jazmine, Blaine and I rode the pony express coaster. We watched the Christmas Parade and had great seats on the corner, when Santa came by on his float, James yelled hi Santa and he heard him! Santa turned around and looked over at James and said "Hi son, you've gotten a lot bigger." It was so cool. Carla, Devonn and Quinn went on the new huge roller coaster with an almost complete vertical drop after it launched you 80 miles an hour straight up, it was a long line so we took the boys to Camp Snoopy. We rode the Ferris wheel, I'll tell you I can ride any roller coaster but the Ferris wheel scares me to death, I'm afraid of heights anyway. Andrew was with me and at the top I have my hands gripped to the bar and telling Andrew not to rock the seat and to lean back, once it starts going around Andrew says "nana this is really really great!" We took the boys on 5 rides while waiting. We left a little late and took Quinn home to Huntington Beach, he led the way to a Taco Bell first. Papa asked Andrew if he wanted a bite of his burrito and Andrew said "What's in it?" Blaine started laughing and said he's only two and wants to know what's in it. We didn't get home till 12:45 and had to get up the next morning for Church. Jazmine gave her first talk in Sacrament and did a good job. We had a great memorable time at Knotts!!

You didn't get home until 12:45??? We got home at 11:30! I did catch Devonn going 90mph a couple times but still.

we stopped in Gorman, then didn't get gas, then we stopped on Niles and gassed up, it was about 12:30 but didn't crawl into bed till 12:45. I asked Blaine not to speed cause I can't afford another ticket, lol.
