L.A. Trip

Last weekend Kjell and I loaded the kids up and drove to L.A. My brother and his wife live there but soon both will be graduating from UCLA. Robbie from Law School and Laynie with her Nurse Practitioners degree. We thought we would go and visit while we still had a free place to stay. We had so much fun going to their places to eat, we usually have our own agendas. This time we tried 2 new places the Stand by UCLA and The Counter. One was hot dogs so we went without our usual trip to Pink's, and the other burgers. My kids loved the sweet potato fries which was a real surprise because they won't eat them here in Fresno.

Friday Laynie had to work and Robbie needed to study so we took off and went to Will Rodgers state beach. I don't have a camera that works at the moment so I took pictures on my cell but have no idea how to get those to my computer. We also ate at Rosco's Chicken and Waffles, Kjell loves this place. I thought it was better this time, my waffle was so good! The kids enjoyed their waffles as well. Later we walked around 3rd Street Promenade and I looked at the shops while Kjell and the kids enjoyed the street performers. It was a warm beautiful day.

One of Drew's good friends had a birthday party on Saturday so we drove out to Hesperia to catch up and party with them. We had so much fun seeing the Bradshaws, I miss them. Luckily Angie posted some pics of the party on her blog so I stole some to post here.

I am sad I won't be able to go to Robbie's graduation because it's days before I will have the baby but I sure loved visiting them and hope we can go again before they move. Thanks for everything guys we had so much fun and Robbie even made everyone breakfast Sunday morning, what a nice guy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year. I am teaching Drew's co-op preschool this week so we made four-leaf clover sugar cookies and green punch for snack. I also had some green apples and celery with peanut butter, I don't solely feed children sugar I promise. Then this evening we went over to my parents and hunted for Leprechaun's but had no luck. We did find some candy that they left behind though so the boys were happy about that, as was Kjell who can be seen eating their candy shortly after the hunt. And for Kirsten here's a pregnancy photo. I have less than 8 weeks to go, one of the nice things about having a c-section is being able to schedule it. More on that to come.

Temples

ok so I know it has been forever and I have a lot I want to post but I just received this link in an email and thought I might post it for those that may have questions about our Temples.
