Believe it or not, I actually snapped a shot of Lance (the second rider below) as he pushed towards the finish line. (Jared doesn't think its him but I am confident it is!)
Here's Norah stealing a sip from my drink. No, its not a Big Gulp.

Tour de Lance (California)
Last Wednesday, the Tour of California ended one of their phases in my town. We were right next to the finish line. There was a big crowd (about 30,000 people) to cheer on the "peleton," and especially Lance Armstrong who was there to start his comeback into biking.
Believe it or not, I actually snapped a shot of Lance (the second rider below) as he pushed towards the finish line. (Jared doesn't think its him but I am confident it is!)

Edge of Civilization
Ok, this is Jared posting, not Yanni.
I took norah on a short drive this morning just up the road from us. We live on the outskirts of Clovis and always drive southwest into Clovis/Fresno. This time, we decided to drive northeast towards the mountains since we had never gone that way. After driving 4 miles and passing some orange groves and old granit quarry we hit this little town called Academy, population 52! I decided to snap a few shots for fun.

Valentine's Dinner
The reason why I haven't posted in a while is because of this:
Yes, the Relief Society Valentine's Dinner. It kept me busy all week. We had cheesy bread and salads as our first course.
Followed by Pesto Pasta with grilled chicken topped with a cheese heart.
After 80 cheese hearts and 85 waffle cones, Wendy (my enrichment leader) and I were exhausted, but the results were well worth it. Aren't they pretty?
Our dessert was a homemade waffle cone with one scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with fresh strawberry puree, whipped cream with a pinch of coca powder, and a heart-shaped cinnamon cracker. This was my favorite part of the whole night!
Next month is the Relief Society's birthday so we are throwing a party for the Relief Society sisters. Should be fun!

Grandma's 90th B-day
This past weekend we drove down to Glendora to visit with family and celebrate Grandma Fernith's 90th birthday (Norah's great-grandma). It was a fun time for all with great food and a wonderful slide show reminiscing of Grandma's life and achievements. I'll try to post some great shots from the slide show.
