Life simple as that.

Yesterday, Cecelia flew for the first time by herself. She wasn't as nervous as I was for her. She flew to SLC Utah to attend EFY. Cheri's husband, Chris picked her up and he was taking her Senior Portraits today. He is such a great photographer that we decided to have him do this, it's nice to have one in the family. Cheri will drop of Cece on Monday at BYU. I hope she has a good time. It's quiet here at home. Today, David and I went in the morning to buy some more plants for our garden. David does such a good job on the garden, I know we wouldn't be eating fresh vegetables if it wasn't for him. So far we have enjoyed the bounties of fresh spinach and spring mix lettuce. The tomato plants are doing well. So are the other vegetables, I can't wait to eat them. Around noon we decided to take a drive up to Wrights Lake Road to see if the roads were cleared, sure enough they were. It was so beautiful up there. We spent most our time walking around the great meadow a few miles before you get to the lake. The sun hid now and then behind the clouds, then we got a few rain drops and then it would be a little over cast. Good thing I brought us some sweatshirts. David and I kept telling each other that we want to come back every Saturday and do more hikes and some camping. I just felt and over powering feeling of gratefulness of the beauty that Heavenly Father created for us to enjoy. It was a wonderful day.

Tuesday, must be Bake day

Retrieved my wheat from the basement.

Grounded the wheat.

Made a couple of loaves, I love the smell of fresh homemade bread, just like the Rainbow Bread Factory we use to drive by off of hwy 80 in Sacramento.

Mackenzie made Triple cookie bars, with chopped apples, chocolate chips and nuts, yum yum.

Finally made organic vegetarian pizza.

Mamma Mia it's pizza time.

Race For the Cure 09

So, this was my first time doing the race. We all loved it that my girls want to do it again next year and maybe I'll try running this time. If you have done it, you know it's one great party, lots of positive vibes in the air, good music to get you in the mood and to keep you going and most of all the people are all polite and courteous. I met a couple of ladies that were in our group and the three of us wanted to walk faster so it was great to walk with them, I felt like PACMAN or Leap Frog because we would zoom over different directions to pass others up, politely of course, it was awesome. Thanks to Steve Buchan and Rhonda Adair for heading up our group "Mary Ann's Fans". It was so organized. Cecelia decided to go with us at 11:57pm Friday night, so I quickly e-mailed Steve, and sure enough he got it and had a shirt for Cece with number. He is so great! As a mom I was very proud of my girls, well you know how it is when your kids do good things, you can't help feel joy. Great Job Cece for getting up at five in the morning on your birthday no less.
