Trip to Los Angeles/ Hunnington Beach

We went to LA in early December to attend Melissa Chapple's wedding. We traveled with Scott's parents and visited Hunnington beach. It was a little cold but the kids loved it.

Cute pictures of the kids

Kate showing off her new pretty dress.


Olivia is growing and learning so fast. We thought this picture was funny:) Our friend Natalie Roos made the tutu for Olivia. Thanks Natalie. It's adorable!

Working in the yard - We now have a lawn!

Here is a picture of the finished product. Taken just after the sun went down so it is kind of hard to see what it looks like.



Darren laying the sod (see below) in place. He would lay the Sod in place and I (Scott) would make the cut outs for the sprinklers and cut the ends.


It went really really well. In all it took about 3 1/2 hours to lay all of the Sod in place.


My friend Darren Roos was so willing to come and help. He ended up doing most of the heavy lifting. Thanks so much Darren!


Making progress on laying down the Sod.


Add Mulch and Gypsum to help the dirt out and hopefully get the grass to grow better.




Running the Rotor Tiller to prepare for the sod.

lots of candy

Olivia couldn't wait to get her hand on some of that candy too!

Cute Critters!

Mandy Sewell, a lady that I visit teach, brought me this amazing treat. This is the cutest Halloween treat I have seen yet and it is so simple. She also made the box by hand. She is a creative gal.

Happy Halloween!

Our kids had fun choosing there costumes this year. Spencer went as Harry Potter, Allyson was Hannah Montana, McKay was Strong Man and Kate Sleeping Beauty. The neighbor boy came to the Trunk or Treat with us.
