Taylor was the best bowler in our group. Go Taylor!
Callie and her good friends, Skylee and Kelsey.
Preston ready to bowl. 
Bowling shoes are so ugly. I think I had the oldest ones in the place.
Just a random picture of all 3.
My friend made these. Check out her blog at swankypear.com. They were to die for. I will definitely be making these again. They were so easy too. Thanks Summer.
Double Chocolate Cookie Bars
24 OREO cookies
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Set aside 6 cookies and grind the rest in a food processor or blender. IN a small bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and butter until well blended. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
Over a double broiler or in the microwave (for 1 minute), melt 1 cup of chocolate chips together with the condensed milk. Stir and add the vanilla. Stir frequently until smooth. Spread evenly over the crumb crust. Sprinkle the remaining cup of chocolate chips over the top. Break remaining cookies into pieces by hand and sprinkle over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven. Cool completely before cutting into the bars.
In Paul's car already to go. We had to wear head phones and a microphone piece so we could talk to each other. At first I was really nervous and then scared but it was awesome. He made this car from scratch. Unbelievable!
Trying to get buckled. 
Taylor's turn.
Preston got to ride this little car which Paul built as well. He loved it. It was really loud though. He loves anything with an engine. He is such a boy.
Lindsey, Lindsey's mom, me, Rachel and Kristen. It was Lindsey's Birthday so we decided to do a girls night. They went shopping before dinner. I met them at BJ's and then we hit Target afterwards. It was fun just wandering around with no screaming children. Thanks Taylor for watching the kids. 
One of the counselors from our Bishopric buried Preston. He played with that shovel the whole time. 
My friend Liana had a little snooze. Lucky.
Callie, Addison, and Mia had fun playing together.
At the pier in Oceanside. We went to eat at the end of the pier at Ruby's diner. It was so yummy. We had cinnamon swirled french toast.
Jeff, Lindsey,and Macy.
I painted Paige's toes; I don't know if you can see it in the picture. 
Me and Paige. She really likes the beach and being outside.
Callie standing outside with her other classmates waiting to go in.
Callie giving Preston a good bye hug. How cute! I was kind of sad. I didn't think I would be.
Callie walking into her classroom ready for school to start. 
Callie and Preston outside our house. 
Her classroom door. I think Callie will love school. She is very social. There are also 4 other kids in her class from church. So that's nice to know someone.
Not a great picture, but that was the stage. It was a really nice night. Not to hot. 
Preston ate 5 of them. 
She is always sticking out her tongue. It is pretty funny. 
My friend made this for her little girl. It is a headband with pig tails. I saw her at church and it was really cute. So she made one for me. Callie and Preston love it on her. There is the tongue again.
So cute, their little heads poking out. Callie had so much fun with Addison. 
Preston just dances around the water. He never goes in to far.
Paige bathing on her beach towel. She liked when I put her toes in the water. 
Corona Del Mar beach. It is so beautiful with all the houses.
Paige went to the doctor this week and I knew she was small. They weighed her and she was 12 pounds. She is in the 5th percentile. But she also lost a pound while in Texas. She got an ear infection and didn't eat as well and extremely fussy. 
She loves to play with crinkly paper. She is also now sitting up.
A couple of my friends have showed me several times how to french braid. Callie has fine hair and it tends to slip real easily. I decided to try it wet and into pig tails. Maybe after I master that I can do her full head. I was very proud of myself. 
This was towards the end of the day. It is messy now.
We had this for dinner last night. It is a great recipe. If you love fish you have to try it.
Orange Roughy Parmesan
2 pounds orange rough (or your favorite fish) I used mahi mahi and tilapia before. Both were great.
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons green onions
¼ teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
In buttered baking dish place fillets in a single layer. Brush with lemon juice. Let stand about 1 minute. In a small bowl combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, onions, salt and pepper. Broil fillets under preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Spread with cheese mixture and broil an additional 2-3 minutes. Watch closely.
Just relaxing on the lake. Paige loved this little boat. I made sure I was always on a raft. There were little fish that would nibble on you. Very creepy. 
We made some shade. Callie and Preston got sunburned the first day. 
So cute. His head poking out of the water. 
There was about 25 people on 2 houseboats and a trailer at a campground on the lake. 
Taylor's mom, his sister and his cousin. It was fun getting to know them better.
