LAURIE VISITS HER MOM FOR THE DAY

Laurie flew up to Seattle for a special Mother's Day tea, hat's and all! The visit was unexpected and a big surprise for her mom (who cried when seeing her).

LAURIE GETS BREAKFAST IN BED

Laurie woke up to a surprise on the morning of Mother's Day. Madison and Meridian helped prepare a delicious breakfast for mom. She also had a great day shopping at her favorite store in Old Town Temecula. We capped the evening off with a nice dinner. Happy Mother's Day Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS...

WE LOVE YOU MOM/GRANDMA!!!!

Love, Mike, Laurie, Madison,Meridian and Cha Cha

HAPPY EASTER!!

The Crew visited Grandpa and joined up with the Carlson's in Palm Springs on April 11th. We all had a chance to visit Mom's mausoleum with Tawnya reading a little quote about the rememberence candle which is to be lit every year on Mom's birthday. The cousins had a great time searching for Easter Eggs and swimming at the Shadow Ridge.

THE CREW VISIT THE BIG APPLE!

During spring break the Temecula Crew traveled to NYC for some fun and excitement! This time around we stayed at the Marriott East Side Hotel on Lexington & 49th street. The Crew were just a few blocks away from Rockefeller Center, St Patricks Cathedral, Grand Central Station and of course the American Girl Store! We did a lot of walking uptown as well as downtown (little Italy, China town,Greenwich Village, etc). Madison and Meridian even skated at Rockefeller Center twice! The night before leaving we went to see "Wicked" at the Gershwin theater.

MADISON MAKES HONOR ROLL!

Madison made 2nd trimester honor roll and was also nominated for "Husky Hero" during flag salute earlier this month. Her teacher nominated her as "Husky Hero" for helping Samantha, a new student at Vintage Hills Elementry, become acclimated to her new school. She was also seen giving Samantha money (which Samantha did not have) to buy a book at the student book fair.

THE CREW AND SCHATANS GO TO HOLLYWOOD!

Last weekend, the Crew and the Schatan family went to Universal Studios. We spent the day touring the sets of Jaws, Bates Motel and Desperate Housewives to name a few. The next day we strolled Rodeo Drive and visited the Beverly Wilshire Hotel where Steve, in his younger years, worked 4 years as the Hotel Doorman. It was a great weekend for all!
