It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Oh wait! It's not Christmas time. My most favorite, wonderful time of the year. It's spring! My most favorite, wonderful time of the year.

We have about 5 different hummingbirds that have taken up residence in our neighborhood. They like it here. I am glad. I could be content just watching them all day long. But then my house would be a disaster. This week it's okay. I am on vacation. No - really. I am. The job rotation says so.

This little fellow likes to perch on the hanging basket and sit for a good length of time. At least long enough for me to watch THEN go get my camera AND still be there when I come back. I zoomed in from my kitchen window.

I love your hummingbirds, too!

I want a job rotation that says vacation on it. I might have to make one for myself.

By the way, Emma thought it was very sweet of you to mail her the bag of candy. Thanks. :-)

I just love this picture! The beach...it's the place to be!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
