Farewell Party!

Our friends Jim and Liana Wilson and Debbie Jensen hosted a Farewell party for us.  It was wonderful to visit with everyone.  Thanks to everyone who came to wish us well in Texas. It is going to be hard to leave our friends and the gorgeous weather.

Lakers Game

One of Taylor's customers invited us to the Lakers Game against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.  

His customer got reservations at this restaurant inside the Staples center.  We ate dinner while watching the game in the stadium.  I am leaning up against some glass.  It was really cool.  


Jack Nickelson is the third person in from purple bench.  He has on sunglasses and is wearing black and brown jacket.  


Then we went to our seats for the last quarter of the game.  

We also won 4 free tacos cause the Lakers won and the Suns score was under 100.

Valentine's Activities

    Callie, Preston, and our neighbor, Bryce made these cute Valentine's paper flowers.
My friend pinned these valentine's and I made them for the kids classes.  Took a while but turned out adorable.  Not a great picture.

Newport Beach

The weather had been so nice in Yucaipa, we headed to Newport Beach.  I decided to pull Callie out of school since we are moving back to Texas and we may not be able to go again.
 My friend Sarah and I went with her 2 kids.  They rode their scooters all over.  We went to Jack's surfboard shop to buy some Tom's and the kids did great.

 There were so many surfers in the water.  It was crazy.  You can't see very well.
 It was a little bit chilly but Preston and Callie put their suits on.  They had so much fun.  We weren't able to stay very long.  They were disappointed we had to go home so soon.

Girls night out/Baby shower


   Lindsey, Charity, Me, Katie, and Melanie eating at BJ's.  So yummy.  We had a great time.

Playing Winter dress up

 It wasn't really cold outside but they decided to put it all on.  Preston's hat is too small and Paige's is Callie's hat.  Still cute!

Biddy Ball Basketball

 Callie started Biddy ball basketball on Friday night.  She was so excited to go.
 I found these boy basketball shorts for her.  She totally looked the part.
 They all started with stretching and a warm-up run.  My friend, Rachel who is helping volunteer on Callie's team said  Callie is a natural.  She couldn't believe she could dribble and walk at the same time.  A lady sitting next to me asked if she had played before and said she is a great runner.  Taylor and I were so proud since neither of us have athletic abilities.
 I thought they were getting jersey's, but instead a t-shirt.  They were divided up into teams.  Callie is the tallest on her team.  That's how it always was for me when I was growing up.
     Preston playing with his friend Baylee on the bleachers.
 Paige after church.  She looked so cute I had to take some pictures.

I love this one with her tongue sticking out.

Happy 2nd Birthday Paige!

 First thing when she woke up.
 They are all ready to help me make cupcakes.
 Our neighbors came over to watch Paige open her presents.  They gave her a mini pillow pet.  It's so cute.
 Paige got a Leap Frog refrigerator letter magnet and leap frog movie.

 Her big present was an Ooh la la salon and boutique.  It is so cute.  Even Preston plays with it.
 Later that night we headed to Chuck e cheese with Paige's friend Kenya and her sister.

 She was making this silly face.
 Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Paige, Happy Birthday to you!
