Aunties are special

Yesterday was a sad day for my mom and I. My wonderful Auntie who was 94 years old went to be with the LORD. We are happy that she is no longer suffering as she was in poor health for a number of years, but it is still difficult to lose her. I have been blessed with so many wonderful Aunties. Aunt Mil (who died yesterday) and my Aunt Blanche and my Aunt Edna are the last remaining Aunties that I have. Aunt Edna is 98, Aunt Blanche is 96 and my dear mom is 90...the baby! These pics were taken in the Summer of 07..the last trip we made to Colorado to see them all. The first one, left to right is Aunt Mil and Aunt Edna and the next photo is my sweet mom and her sister Blanche. I love them all so much and will miss you Aunt Mil!

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.
