Lucy Lovers Unite!

Tiffani has wanted to host an I Love Lucy evening all year. I'm so glad she was able to do so before we move next week. Four of her Lucy-loving friends were able to attend.

Lucy Lovers:
Sierra, Kendel, Karah, Samandra & Tiffani

If laughter is the best medicine, their immune systems skyrocketed tonight. They watched 6 episodes and acted out their favorite scenes afterward.

Westfield Mall Fashion Show

Tiffani and Sierra were in Westfield Mall's 3rd Annual Fashion Show. This was Tiffani's 2nd year and Sierra auditioned this year & was selected. So fun to watch the kids & adults in our community up there on the stage.

Clouds, Mountains & Sky

Jeff surprised us and came home 2 days early.

We popped out for an early Date Night and on the way home,

we saw these incredibly beautiful sights.

We picked up Tiffani, so she could see the valley...and stopped for dessert!

Behold, to the LORD your God
belong heaven and the highest heavens,
the earth and all that is in it.

Hawaii...or the desert??

We spent time with Christine, Ashley and Austin today. [Ashley and Austin are Tiff's tennis buddies...it's how they met!] And they shared these beautiful pictures with us. Their family recently moved into this home that has a dock and a boat...a completely unexpected sight out here in the desert.

They blessed us with a delicious breakfast or fresh fruit, yogurt, chocolate croissants, cinnamon rolls...and tea, of course!

Later we were on the water touring the lake and watching the birds and coi at the feeders. Then the kids took the boat over to the clubhouse for games.
It was a refreshing time away from packing!

Big HUGS and THANK YOU to your family...
