Girl's in Glendale

Josh drove Verne to Logan Thursday, January 29th. The next morning we took Blake to get his 6 month shots!! Poor little thing, shots right before leaving for CA! This picture is Blake waiting for Dr. Duffy - - with his clothes off - - trying to save time so we could make our flight!! Trent thinks Blake is a BYU fan and Grant thinks Blake is a UT fan! We'll see!! (GO COUGARS!!)

Jen, Jill, Blake and I flew into Burbank on Friday, Jan. 30th! We rented a car and cruised around Glendale for a few before checking in at the hotel!! Then we went to Damon’s Steakhouse with Uncle Rick and the Clark's! It was great!! We were feeling so FREE!! (without big kids)

After dinner we went to Grandma Gardiner's house to visit!! It was wonderful!! She got to meet Blake! Even with a fever from shots he gave her many smiles and laughs!!

Saturday morning we took Grandma G. to Marie Calendars for brunch!

We headed to Valencia for Dominique Christoffersen’s baptism!! (Dominique came to Balboa in 6th grade! Before then I knew her a little through Meredith!) Dominique and I were able to get back in touch around Christmas time! (I had always wanted to get back in touch with her!! Driving past her parent’s house in Glendale, I always wanted to knock on the door!! Four years ago I heard through Rick she had a baby!!) It has been delightful for me reuniting!! We were absolutely thrilled to hear she was getting baptized!! We got to meet her darling family and see her cute home!! It was soooo much fun to see her!!

We headed to the church where I got to see Mrs. Pagliuso and Justin her brother!! Alan Williams is her Bishop - - it was Julianne who called me in December!! After the baptism we all went to dinner (Brett’s family, Dominique’s mother, brother and us.) Fantastic experience!!!

Seeing Brett’s mom was fun too!! We totally recognized her from childhood!

Once in Glendale we cruised by Rachel Taylor Everett’s house then by Brenda’s!! Blakey was exhausted so we headed back to the hotel!! On our way to the airport we stopped by the Pagliuso’s home and In-N-Out!!

While I was gone Josh was at the cabin with the boys! Josh and Johnny had them jumping off the balcony into Love Sacs!!
