San Diego Trip - December 2008

We had a blast at Sea World! It was a great time. We got the chance to vist the San Diego Zoo and San Diego's Wild Animal Park too. The kids loved playing in the ocean each morning before we headed to the parks.

Thanksgiving 2008

It was our turn to host the Trull family Thanksgiving. It was a long week-end of eating and gambling...a family tradition.

We start them young! That's Clay with cousin Isaac playing their own game.

Building our home...

Construction was complete by the end of March. We were able to move in the last week of March. Not the best of timing for a CPA and a cherry farmer!!!! We are all settled in now and absolutely love being on the farm. The kids and I get to help with all those farm projects now that we are so close.

A very busy June and July!!!

Cherry Harvest in June....We survived the record setting frost season. The endless nights waking up to the frost alarm paid off

The cherries were beautiful this year!!!
