A FUN WEEK WITH THE PONDS!

My sister and her family came to visit last week. We had such a good time. Her kids are so great with Skyler, I think she needs another one. I loved always having a babysitter and Bunk loved the company. We went to the beach, the zoo, shopping, the chargers/cowboys game, and military appreciation day at miramar. The chargers came and the boys were able to get some autographs. I think it is pretty cool the chargers take the time to do that.

Skyler did really good with all these adventures. He liked the bus ride at the zoo. He enjoyed a nap at the beach. I think the game was a bit too loud for him, but he loved to people watch like his momma. Maybe he will like the chargers/raiders game better in Dec. when my brother and sister-in-law come down. I didn't get any pictures of all of us together but I wish I would have. It was a busy busy week but a fun one. We love you guys, thanks for coming down!

08-06-07 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US. MAX IS SUCH A WONDERFUL HUSBAND! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND FEEL SO LUCKY TO BE MARRIED TO HIM. WHAT A GREAT 3 YEARS!

This week was so amazing! It started off on Friday with our anniversary. 3 years have flown by and been so exciting. Max's parents, brother Mikah, and niece Miranda came to visit for the weekend. We played all weekend long, going to the beach, shopping, more shopping, dinners, playing cards, watching the fight/movies and just spending time together. But the best part about this week was Sunday. Max and I have been working really hard so we can go to the temple. Max was ordained an Elder and his dad Lynn was able to pass down the priesthood to him. It was such a great experience and I am so proud of him for working so hard. We also received our patriarchal blessing. Lynn and Deb were able to sit in with us. I will never forget that day and how amazing it felt. Thank you guys for coming and making such wonderful memories.
