Fall Break

Newport, California

We had a great time in California. We took Grandma along for the ride. She was a great help and fun to be with! The kids loved having her there. We went to the beach a couple of times, California adventure Park and hung out at our hotel. We stayed at the Newport cost villas which I highly recommend. They had plenty of pools, hot tubs, golf, playground, tetherball, a sandbox equipped with all the sand toys, an arcade room, a playstation room and they had movies and parties for the kids. They also had lifesize chess and checkers and ping pong by the pool. Our kids loved it and it was quite relaxing for the adults.

Owen and Mason have some fun in the hose as every kid should.

natural disaster

Our RS had mock natural disasters. I was chosen to not go to the grocery store for 3 days. Seriously, I'm glad to report it was no problem. We have alot of food. I enjoy buying food so it was nice to take time out from going to the store and actually eating our food that we do have. I was supposed to take inventory and realize stuff we can improve on. I did. We need batteries in our emergence flashlights in the kitchen cupboard..they were dead. I need more dry milk. We go through 10 gallons a week. I kid you not. I need more meat in the freezer....at least enough for a month. I'm sure there's alot more but that's all for now. It was a good experiment. We were asked to stage a photo..so here's one.

ward campout

Once again, we were in charge of our ward campout. I think it was a success! The kids had a great time and the breakfast was wonderful! Whole wheat pancakes!!
