Yes Ma'am!

Hi everyone, this me the prodigal blogger. I'm writing now because I've just received an e-mail from Nic K. DEMANDING I post. That's correct. She was clear and concise that it must be done. Here are her words: "Post on it. Tonight. I know your in california. But do it."
I must obey. Ma'am, yes, ma'am!

I wanted to post about our lovely time at the Nimelli Annual Family Picnic, BUT...I was having computer issues and so gave up so that I might get us ready for our Family Reunion in sunny So. Cal. Here we are it's Wednesday and we've already have had a full and fun time. We arrived in Las Vegas on 10:44 pm but didn't get to our hotel (Circus Circus) until 1 in the morning. We brunched at the Excalibur, rode rides in the Adventuredome and then swam on Saturday before driving to Hemet, Saturday night. Jacob and Mena struggled Sunday and Monday with heat exhaustion and dehydration but yesterday we went up to Big Bear to camp overnight and canoe on the lake. I'm very very sorry to say I forgot my camera on what was a photo op dream. It was so beautiuful and serene. So far it's the highlight of our trip.

Tomorrow we are going to the Redlands Temple, visiting my cousin Kaelene and getting ready for the reunion. Friday is the beach and Mexican fundraising dinner we are ALL going to. Saturday is Official Family Time. Sunday is church with grand'rents, meet and greet with my new nephew Quinn, Monday- amusement park choice still in question, Tuesday- visit with Paula, P-Diddy, Yocum- Webb and family then drive back to LV,NV at 1 pm and arrive at DTW 7 am on the 25th. I will have several posts and pics to cover the last big events next week.

Love you guys! We'll chat later....
