What a Beautiful Sunday Morning...

...in Newport Beach, California!

What a way to start our family vacation, (the sun shines even when you're not in Zion)

We ended up going to church up by the Newport Beach Temple,

So, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take some family pictures.

Here we are: The Happy Family (and more importantly the Eternal Family)

The Springers.

We may not have it all together, But TOGETHER we have it ALL.

I need to give a shout out to my in-laws...I am lucky to have such good and loving ones! I want to thank them for the love and support that they give us. I also need to thank them for making it possible for allowing us to go on this yearly family trip to Newport Beach; the memories that we make and the time that we get to spend as a whole Springer clan is important to me, but also to let me kids know that FAMILY is everything!

When the going gets tough, Family is there, when you need support and love, Family is there and when your buttons are pushed, Family is there...pretty much saying that Family is something you gotta have, whether you like it or not.

When all is said and done and life is over, all you have left is Family!

So, Thanks Opa and Oma for opening up your pocket books for 7 nice fancy condo within 3 steps from the beach, the yummy daily donut/candy store trips, the walks on the piers looking for sharks, the sunburns from sitting ALL day on the beach, the sand dollar exchange (having my kids wanting to get up before the crack of dawn to find sand dollars for the exchange of a real dollar) the sand that I am still trying to clean up after, AND bringing all 29 grand kids and 15 adults together for a week in paradise.

Thank You!

We Love You!
