Dodger Game Fun!

Cool summer evening, great seats at the ballpark and family...priceless.

Go Dodgers!

Our family was divided... we were rooting for the Dodgers and Doug's parents were rooting for the Rockies.

Sadly, the Rockies won. = - (

At least we celebrated a great game and an early 4th of July with fireworks!

It was a great show!

Time to leave and Chuck and Arlene were still celebrating in Dodger territory - time for a family pic in front of the LA sign!

Better luck next time!

Biennial Memories

We just hosted the biennial meeting of American Baptist Churches USA in Pasadena at the Convention Center.

Doug was in charge of the youth program (and MANY other things). Our 3 teenagers enjoyed seeing old friends from the past biennials.

It is very fun to reconnect every 2 years in a different state.

Since we hosted this year I worked the meal ticket booth.

But we also had time to reconnect with friends and attend worship celebrations. Chuck and Arlene were official delegates and voted on important issues.

Matthew and his new biennial friends attended their own children's camp - Doug helped organize it too.

The special youth speaker was Nick Vujicic from Australia. He shared an awesome and inspiring testimony!

Of course we visited the exhibit hall and enjoyed the special performances.

Matthew even had some time to go ice skating (the rink is right next to the Convention Center).

The final evening of worship was at 1st Baptist Pasadena. It was another wonderful Biennial and we look forward to Puerto Rico in 2011. = - )

Prom 2009 - Universal Studios Backlot!

This was the first year that Angelica and Jennifer went to the Prom.

David has been going to the Prom since his sophomore year.

This year they decided to go "old school" and drive themselves.

The Prom was on the Universal Studios backlot.

A very fun place to have a Prom!

Fun with friends!

Shakes at Mel's Diner!

And a fun dance floor!
