Central Coast Winery Visits

Spring break of 2014 found us heading up to one of our favorite spots in California.  We headed up the coast with Ron and Sharon and met up with Brenda and Steve for a few days of visiting and enjoying the great wines of the area.  Thanks to another blogsite, "Scrap our Stash," for the inspiration - designed by Brenda Ragsdale.  I used my Close to My Heart Pathfinding kit and embellishments I know I have had for years!  

Family Traditions

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving!  I love cooking the meal and sharing it with family and friends!  We had a full house of Jenkins',  Boroquez's,  Gavigan's, Taquino's and of course my mom and Auntie Ro.  I am looking forward to Thanksgiving 2014!  Who wants to come?

Diane and Paula 2013

Paula and I have been friends for almost 35 years!  She is one of my sisters from another mister!  We have gone through so much together.  This past summer, we were able to spend time together .  What began as an almost sad period, ended up being a story with a happy ending.  I love you Paula!

Upland High School Drill Team

One of my favorite activities in high school was being a member of the drill team!  It was exciting as a parent to participate as a parent when Heather was a member!  Some of the differences were she participated in field shows, where we had parades.  I can still remember our routine.  Great fun and wonderful memories for the both of us!

Tonight, on this layout are pictures of family members and friends in attendance.  More smiling faces! I am so happy that we were able to all share in the happiness of their day!

More Wedding Day Happiness

I will be sharing photos of some of the family and friends in attendance for the next couple of days.  Here we have Brenna and the Best Man ( sorry but I don't remember your name). It was a beautiful wedding site, the perfect place for Heather and Alex to begin their life together !

Wedding Day Smiles, page two

Here is the second page of the "Wedding Day Smiles,". I wish I had more pictures of everyone who was there!  I don't think there is one of me. Lol!   Look at that mustache on Michael!

Wedding Day Smiles

What a wonderful day for Heather and Alex!  So many smiling faces surrounding them!  It was a chilly day but it was a heartwarming ceremony.

Pre-wedding Celebration

Just a few shots of family members hanging out and enjoying the wedding breakfast!  In addition to scrapping a page a day, I am trying to use my stash of papers and embellishments!  So much to do!

Yummy Spread page 2

This is the second page of the "Yummy Spread" layout!  The food was so delicious and so plentiful!  Brenna outdid herself by hosting a wedding breakfast for her sister!
