Trick or Treating
Family and friends went Trick or Treating Halloween night. It was Charlotte's first time. She was so cute trudging along dragging her orange bag and trying to be the first one to knock on doors!!

12th Birthday for Josh
Joshua reached the rip old age of 12 on August 27th. This was a big day for him because he was ordained a deacon the next day and passed the Sacrament for the first time Sunday September 5th. He took some friends to an arcade in San Jose for his party and invited family members to share cake and ice cream with him on Sunday night.
Book Club outing, August 29,2011
My Book Club took a trip to Monterey. On the ride down we discussed the book we were reading for this month, Little Heathen. It was a fun book to read . We went to a great used book store in Monterey (Book Haven). Then we went to a fun restaurant recommended by Jana Lance on Alvarado Street (Rosines.) It was everything Jana had promised! They serve fabulous cakes a desserts, so we tasted several as a treat to end our meal.
Sadie's 3rd birthday
Sadie celebrated her 3rd birthday. Jessica threw a Mary Poppin's party for her. The food was yummy and the decorations very creative!

Goodbye pictures as Lane, Debbie, Jared and Jeremy leave. Destination Utah, then Jerusalem.
Visits from the family
We had visits this summer from Sally, Jeff and Chris and Cody, Laura, Lance and Danielle, and Lane and Debbie, Jared and Jeremy. So, we celebrated with ice cream parties and barbecues.
4th of July 2011
We wended our way to Jon and Jan's for a barbecue on the 4th of July. This was our 2nd barbecue that day. Our ward had a big feast at Christmas Hill Park at noon! We watched the City firework display from our ring side sets in the backyard.
Justin and Anna's reception
June 25th was Justin and Anna's reception in Gilroy. It was held in Jon and Jan's backyard. Justin had his Mom make his groom's cake. The cakes were made to look like Reese's Peanut butter cups!

Justin and Anna's wedding
Justin and Anna executed a beautiful ball-room dance at their reception. They had practice for this occasion! After their first dance the Jonathan Lance family took to the floor and danced for a good 45 minutes! They are a Lance Dancing Machine! Scott took the pictures for the wedding and Lance Pettit did a great job as Master of Ceremonies. The reception was in Stockton, California, where Anna has lived and taught school. Her family lives in Grants Pass Oregon, but she has quite a few relatives in Stockton.
