A great visit

My mom came to visit this last week. We had a great time, despite some illness. We went to La Jolla and saw seal beach, which used to be a children's beach until the seals took it over. While we were there it was low tide so we had fun exploring the tide pools, and finding shells. On Tuesday my mom stayed with Emily and Kaleb while Becky and I went to the temple with the youth. We ended up with 25 youth there! Wednesday and Thursday found us a bit under the weather, but we made it to New Beginnings. Each girl brought a display of things she has worked on for personal progress, or things that show who she is. Becky's display turned out great with her trombone, plus shirt, pictures, books and scriptures. She's very well rounded! Friday we went to Whelan Lake, the bird sanctuary. We made it around the lake and saw lots of birds. It had been warm most of the week, so Greg, the bird guy, warned us about rattle snakes. Luckily we didn't see any!

Saturday was a good birthday, although it didn't start out the best. First thing in the morning, I took my mom to the airport. When I for back we went to Kaleb's first soccer game. He was in defense and did a great job defending the goal. He even kicked it over the heads of the players a couple of times. When the game wad done he told us that he thought he'd like soccer, but he says he REALLY likes soccer. He was up and dressed in his uniform at 6:30 in the morning. After the game we went to Chili's for lunch, then home for maps, relaxation, cupcakes and presents. It was a wonderful day. I feel very blessed!
