Memories money can't buy.....Fresno, CA Summer 2012


So many wonderful moments happened summer 2012 that are now a cherished memory.
Here's is a collection of memories that I managed to catch in a photo.

Levi sitting on the nook of Grandpa Dave's legs.

Elijah getting excited over discovering my old fita bow.

Living in Houston now for 7 years I come home to find I am delightfully amused with the bike lane. You see these everywhere here. They are a rare sight in Houston plus riding a bike in the metro area is dangerous.

Wish they sold this brand in Texas. There simply is no better dry salami anywhere else. 

We made a traditional "Chicken Pie Shop" lunch break on Aunt B's Birthday!!!

Had a marvelous  day in the Tower Distric!

Naomi, Eli and Jojo contemplating this piece at Arte Americas had me tearing up! 
I love that they loved the museum. 

My Birthday Crew!

Naomi's face! Oh how I love the Hungry Bear cookie shop!

One of my BFF's of all time!

A fabulous day in AZ with our family friends!


The kids went to their first Musical. They saw Sleeping Beauty at the Memorial Theater!


Twins on Mother/Daughter day! On our way to go see "Sound of Music"!!!






Chaffee Zoological Gardens








iHeart My Cousins



This is an "Amazing Story"!!! My cousin Maryjane Etchegaray-szalan had received the bottom half of this picture from my grandfather Manuel Valverde, with no clue as to whom was in the photo or its origin. My third cousin Jeanine Hamner, of whom we never met, found us via ancestry.com and after looking at MaryJane's facebook photos saw that bottom half of the photo and produced the top half of that photo. I printed, cut and put them together so y'all can share in this "Amazing Story".



So here is the first time we all met each other. It was the most wonderful afternoon!!!
