Minnesota with Mom

I am just back from a short trip to Minnesota with my adorable mother. Her grand daughter (actually step grand daughter) got married last Saturday at Breezy Pt. It's a beautiful lake resort in Northern Minnesota (burr!!). Cathy, the bride, her sister and their mom absolutely LOVE my mom. Cathy cried when she saw my mom and said that it made her wedding! How sweet is that? I am so fortunate to have my mom living close by and we had a wonderful time being together for 5 straight days!

Skeeter

Tonight Skeeter was awarded a Proclamation from the Mayor and City Council of Newport Beach for his heroism and selfless courage when he saved a 9 and 7 year old along with a surf instructor who was attempting to save them before Skeeter and John Moore arrived on the scene. We are sooooo proud of you! (You can read the article that was in the paper after the rescue above)

The Wedding

Well I could go on and on about how fantastic the wedding was, but let's just say it could not have been better! Jeff and Nikki make such a beautiful couple and the day was a huge blessing for all of us!

Introducing the future Mrs Leeper #5

As if our family isn't growing fast enough...my nephew Kelly got engaged last Saturday night to lovely Laura! We are all so excited and happy that we will in just a matter of months have Mrs. Leeper #5. Nikki will be Mrs. Leeper next weekend!! and then Kelly and Laura will plan on being married by July or August. Our family is so blessed!

The Wedding Day

Only 3 more weeks until Jeff and Nikki's wedding day! Time has flown by since they became engaged last August and now the day is fast approaching. We are all very excited to say the least. Stay tuned and I'll post some photos here after the wedding!

Skeeter the amazing Lifeguard!

I am so proud of my son Skeeter. Yesterday he and his partner rescued and saved the lives of 2 young children. They most certainly would have drowned had it not been for Skeeter and John being at the right place and the right time. To read the article click on the link above titled Skeeter.

Just home from my favorite place

We just got home from my favorite place...see the photo on the left of this blog...We had such a great time. The first half was spent with Chas and Steph...our wonderful brother and sister in law. Thanks to you both for having us in such a beautiful place and cooking for us and spoiling us rotten!! Then we moved over the the Mauian which just feels like home to us. It is located on the most beautiful beach and is so casual. You can literally walk out the door in your PJ's to watch the whales going by and you will see 3 others in the same attire...just hanging and drinking our morning coffee. No TV's and no telephones...it is just the BEST!
