SPRING BREAK FUN!

So here are the long awaited pictures from out trip to southern California! We had an awesome time in the sunshine and the culture that is so unlike the one we have here. On our first night we stayed in L.A. across the street from the Temple. It was so beautiful and that is the one thing that made us feel safe. We stayed in just about the creepiest and dirtiest hotel we have ever been too! Moths flew around our heads as we carefully tried not to touch anything! The next day was spent in Beverly Hills walking down Rodeo Drive and in Hollywood. From there we went to Disneyland which was AMAZING. The end of the week was spent up near San Fransico in a little town called Clayton. We stayed with Chris and Ryan's aunt Lisa and her boyfriend Rob. Chelsea, their cousin, also took us around San Fran to show us the sights. We were also lucky to meet their uncle Mark and his family who came to spend time with us as well. We really had such an amazing trip and we so lucky to be able to get away just in time for all the snow at home! We love sunshine!Hope you enjoy the picures!

This is our CREEPY hotel room!

There we nice nice cars everywhere in Beverly Hills!

There were also really nice houses! I wanted to take a tour of one!

Okay in this picture, don't look at me...who is the guy behind me? When he walked in he looked so familiar and we think he has been in something we have seen...even if it was just a commercial???anyone know?

Palm trees everywhere!

The stars were fun to see!

Oh a beach you can actually go to without sweatshirts!

Chris thought he would be funny yet again!

Crayon Roll!!!

So I saw this idea off another blog page I was looking at and I just had to make one. Heather and Andrea: I think we should make these for the Bazaar next year. We could get crayons and maybe a small coloring book from the Dollar store and sell it as a whole package! They are easy easy and cheap to make! What do you think?

Tribute to the little ones!

This is a tribute to our amazing Nieces and Nephews! They are truly the light of our life! They make us laugh and we always love the opportunity to be with them. I was looking back through all of our pictures and noticed just how much each one has grown up! Here they all are in age order. They are all so unique and just plain awesome! I love you guys!

A long Time...

I know it has been along time since we have updated the blog. Things have been busy for us with Chris and his mid terms coming up and then I haven't been feeling well this past week, but tomorrow is monday with the start of a new week and hopefully not much to do. It seems like from the first day we moved to Corvallis we have stayed very busy. With church, family, work, school and friends there hasn't been time to sit down! Life s good though and we have still having fun! Here is one picture to sum up the last week here in Corvallis...snow and weird weather. I am excited for Spring!
