A visit from the Latimer Ladies Day 1

My Mom, Melissa, Gretchen, Mikelle & Hannah all came to visit me for a week! They brought their sleeping bags and air mattresses and slept in our second bedroom. Every night was a slumber party! Except that we were totally exhausted by the days events we pretty much crashed when we got home.We had SO much fun and Zanna was totally spoiled with love and entertainment from her aunties and grandma.
I wish Carolynn and Amanda could have come, WE MISSED YOU TWO!
The first day we hung out at my pool for a few hours then went to Sausalito and looked through the fun shops. After Sausalito we drove over the Golden Gait Bridge!



Thank heavens for the pack'n play. The water is super cold in the pool which does not go over so well with Zanna, so she just chilled in her little play pen and played with her toys.



The fabulous hat Melissa bought! I LOVE IT!
The super cute Apron I wanted to buy but sadly did not. Luckily I live about 5 minutes away... I will return for it one of these days!
She looks thrilled to death in this picture.

I will have to get some pictures of all of the beautiful homes of Sausalito. Flowers and Ivy grow up the walls and fences. Everything is just so picturesque.


Some shots of the Golden Gait Bridge.

Oh crazy Mikelle. If you ever leave your camera with Mikelle you are sure to have a few shots such as the above photo, left as a little present for you!

You guys look like you had so much fun! I have to say that I am extremely jealous! You are so lucky to have so many sisters and to be so close to them.

P.S. Zanna is such a doll!!!!

That looks like that was the vacation of all vacations! (And you didn't even have to travel far!) You are all so beautiful-your mom looks like she is a sister...AMAZING! (And none of you look like you have had kids). Those look like beautiful places. Nothing better than good food, good company, shopping and the sun! I have been to some when I lived there-but it has been a while. We are headed to the cabin on Sunday. Sure wish we could see you there! Is anyone from your family going to be there? I heard Mikelle was.

What fun. Your mom is such a sport to drive to California! I'm such a home body, I don't drive anywhere! Looks like you are having fun in California. Don't get used to it, you need to live in Firth, Idaho!!!!

Ashley said...

How fun!!! Its so fun to see pictures of you all it looks like your having so much fun! I miss your cute family. I can't believe how big Mikelle and Hannah are getting I didn't even recognize them. Your mom is so cute I love her.

What is going on here?? All of you inherited the beauty gene including the sister in laws?? You beautiful people you!! Jathan is so cute to let all of them come visit. I am sure that he is now in touch with his feminine side being surrounded by all those hormones. I feel so old to see that Hannah has blossomed into this young woman. I still picture her running around as a 3 year old. I love this picture of Mikelle too, she looks like Christian in this photo. Remember when Christian and the "bros" dressed up as woman and took each other on dates for their dance??? Christian would makes a very good woman.

You have just placed comment pressure for me. Yes, you read right..."Comment pressure"..a new blog lingo that I have created.
DEFINITION: Living up to each comment for your amusement!!! Anyways, glad you find me amusing. I know I am random. I think that is why you still keep me around or are you using me for a possible arranged marriage for our little ones. Either way...fine by me!! Camping..yes..One day.. I will lay awake dreaming of it. I think we would have fun together. Remember our Tracy Chapman days up good ole AF Canyon?? Those were fun drives. I miss your cabin. If I were you, I would live in it all year long. Make it my permanent residence. It is picturesque there and I already have a "Welcome" mat picked out for a house warming gift. Thanks for going down memory lane with me. Okay, I really must go, I am getting randomer(if that is a word) by the second..I guess it is NOT recommended that I stay up past 10p.m. ANYMORE!! I will make a mental note for the future!

Lindsey Shaun Christensen said...

please don't be mad at me! i am sure rebecca has passed on the news that I am not going to come out there. the rates went up right when i was going to buy and i started thinking FRUGAL just because we are moving into a new house in two weeks. i hope you understand and know that i am so sad. i really really want to come out there and play with you. i heard you were in town and you didn't even call me you little stinker.
i hope all is well.
call me

Lindsey Shaun Christensen said...

that is it! when you guys move back here I cam going to give Jathan a piece of my fist for betting against me. I know i suck, but he does not have to use that against me! haha. i will cry myself to sleep tonight knowing that Jatahan knows I SUCK! Maybe one day I could make it p to him, except that he should have a real grasp on the matter since he married YOU MERM!

this is turning into a big bash on me and merm session. i suck and now i am a jerk.

Happy 4th of July today. what are you guys doing? we are all alone this 4th because the whole family went to our cabin and we stuck around home because Jeremy needs to work.
At any rate, you are still great and I guess Jathan is too. there is no question if baby girl is great.

PEACE
