Home Sweet Home

This is the house and street where I grew up. It was on this lawn where we played home run derby, pickle, ran through the sprinklers, and mowed with the little mower. It was these trees that we climbed and swung on, even breaking branches; the scars still visible if you look closely. It was on this street that we rode our bikes up and down playing "CHiPs," pretending we were motorcycle police. It was in this backyard that we slept on the trampoline during summer nights, played around the world on the basketball court, planted tomaotes, picked peaches, dug deep holes, and buried time capsules. It was in this home that we read, played, learned, prayed, sung, and grew into adulthood. This is my home sweet home full of beautiful memories and love.


Mina and Auntie Marie



Mina and Auntie Marie made a fun suprise appearance at Gabe's wedding open house down here in Rancho Cucamonga. We had no idea they were coming; so fun to see them!!!

California Beach Bums




Yep, when my siblings and I come home to California we have to hit the beach for at least a little while.

You know, go boogie boarding, bury people in the sand, dig up sand crabs, get some sun on our white Provo skin, eat sandy PB&J sandwiches and breath in some warm salty air. So nice...but came back a little sun burnt.

My Very Own Car

I just bought my first car- a used Honda Civic 2002, and yes it is Stick Shift!!!

I have killed it about 50 times already. I am trying to remember to shift to 1st when I stop at lights, and trying to ignore honks when it dies in the middle of the road... but I think I've got it now.

Wow, I can't believe how much a car cost: safety and emissions, tax, registration, insurance, etc...$$$... a pretty penny.

My Brother's Wedding



Gabe and Jane Ann got married on Friday the 25th of April. I am glad Jane Ann is in our family now. Now there are 3 Fosson girls and I have a new sister. They brought me back a cacahuate candy and bracelet from Mexico. They are just too cute together; just love them.
