Five in the Hive

Is that....Jon??

Jon decided to shave off his facial hair and this is how it ended up...for the day. I wish I had gotten pictures along the way-he had several styles and this is what he decided to leave. But when he first shaved Jackson looked at him and just began to chuckle...a full belly chuckle. It was so funny. Even at a young age he new Jon looked ridiculous.

Do you know of any openings for mall security??

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, come on baby let me know!!

I love my husband--he is so funny and fun to tease!!
Love you babe!

Snow in California!!

Katie decided that if it wasn't going to snow here she would have to make a little of her own. She found some styrafoam packing and broke it into a jillion little pieces. These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg.

She is crying not because she got in trouble, but because I told her she had to clean it up.

This mess continued to appear for several days. Those little balls just stick to everything.

Hermie the Crab

While I was in Cayucos I found a great little spot to do some beach combing. There were tons of little shells and all kinds of coral. I decided to bring some shells home for my kids. And I later found out one of the shells had a creature living inside. A hermit crab. The kids named it Hermie, he enjoyed one meal of fresh clams (which I found and we cracked open) and then unfortanely I found him dead the next morning. Luckily the kids weren't too devestated. I prepped them for the event as I knew it would be soon.

Jackson was okay with it, until it began to crawl. You can see the fear on his little face as he was scooting to get away from it. Later they became friends.

As you can see Olivia and Katie really liked their new friend Hermie.

Cayucos

A few weeks ago I was privileged to go on a Leadership Training overnighter with the youth of our Church-The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We went to Cayucos and it was just beautiful.

This is the awesome beach house the girls stayed in. It was very accommodating, all 14 of us had a bed to sleep in!!

This is the view from the end of the driveway. It really was breathtaking in the morning with the fog and cool misty air.

This is the building out training was held in and the boys slept in. This garage is a landmark--it was built in 1932. There was a perfect view of the ocean from the the welding end of the building. Sadly, I didn't get too many pictures. I guess I was occupied with the training.

The weekend called for rain and on Sat. it rained just as the youth were headed out to the water but that didn't stop them. Luckily it stopped raining just long enough for them to get in the water and FREEZE!!
