A Blessed Time...

Last weekend we were privileged to spend three days in Nipomo with some of my favorite people :) It has taken me a while to post about it because I have reflected and basked in our time there...an incredible blessed time of refreshment for our family, as well as a time of inspiration for me as I shared and received counsel from my godly mentor of 30 years (wow, DeAnn, can you believe it's been that long?) Their home there was amazing and this picture is taken in their "backyard" which happens to be the 17th hole of the golf course...loved the fountain!! The Onaindia Family spent some quality time together in SLO on Saturday afternoon...we loved spending quality time them...thank you for being good examples to our boys :)
Kristen said that June's favorite toy is this Similac lid...ha! I think she'd make a perfect spokesbaby...don't you? :)

Me and June...5th cousins :)

Derek...the baby magnet! He had June really laughing...sooooo cute!

June has begun to eat cereal and she inhaled it :) She is growing so fast and it is fun to see Kristen with her...she is such a great mom!

After cereal time it was definitely bath time and who can resist taking a picture of a baby right after a bath? Is there anything better? Nope!

On Saturday morning we headed off to the Clubhouse for some pool time, work-out time, and golf time. Us girls walked there (loved it!) while the boys drove...

Amazing facility...

There is where DeAnn and I parked ourselves while Nick & Kristen went to SLO and the boys went golfing...

Golf course at Nipomo...

Derek and the boys sure enjoyed their time with Mike as they golfed and hot-tubbed afterwards on Saturday...

Great job, Mike!... It was fun to see the boys with June...they were wonderful with her and will definitely make great dads someday :)

DeAnn introduced and got me hooked on Green Tea from Starbucks...we succeeded in making our own at the house by brewing the green tea and adding crystal light lemonade! Now, we will be able to save ourselves $2.10 per Venti :)

Derek and Nick grilling for dinner...I must say that Mike totally spoiled us with great food all weekend. Thank you so much for your generosity and love for us!

A silly moment between DeAnn and Nick....they cracked me up! :)

To commemorate their golf date, I purchased matching Big Dog shirts for Mike and Derek...

Each night the boys played poker...how fun is that? Our boys were in all their glory...such great memories!

Here are some shots of this beautiful house...

Here is where Derek and I stayed...

Do we look refreshed or what?!? Thank you Sampleys and Onaindias for an absolute amazing time. We love you so very much and thank God for your influence in our lives.

p.s. The only thing missing from this perfect weekend was Nicole and Nathan...we missed/miss you!! Hope to see you at Christmastime :)
