The Girly Life

November 2014

We delivered donuts to Ian's staff in Texas City  

We love Chewy's!!  Yummy Tex Mex food and fun decor and they give the kids push pops!

Party at the Jergs

November 2013

Our friends, the Jergensens, went on a week long cruise and while they were gone we house sat for them and their adorable kids Christian and Elyse.  It was a week long party with all these cuties!  Lots of adventures.  We love their kids so much, and the night we went home I really missed being able to tuck them into bed along with my kids.  It was a very memorable week for everyone!

driving to church is like a roller coaster ride!

Christian and Elyse Jergensen.  Love these two kids!

Lizzy bought the girls matching dresses.  They were so excited to wear them!  Lorelai, Elyse and Gwennie

Two peas in a pod

Three cheers for hot dogs, cheetos and root beer!  They were in heaven!

Just doing a little painting and artwork

Christian was up all night sick and so he stayed home from school the next day.  He was bummed
he had to miss his art class so since I taught the same class at a different school we did the art together.
This class was a study of "the scream" by Munch.  

One of our adventures included their goldfish dying.  I really was hoping that little thing would stay alive until their parents got home!  So Ian threw "goldie the goldfish" a funeral before we flushed him down the toilet.  Luckily all the
kids thought this was hilarious and no one was too sad at the loss of goldie!

Liz and I are constantly buying matching things for these two girls (often not realizing it)
 when I saw that Elyse had the same shirt in her closet as Lorelai did, I just had to dress
them alike.  Twinners!

We took these kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Had a blast getting balloon animals and cruising Ontario Mills mall.

coolest balloon animal!  monkey in a tree

life with 5 kids!  a party everyday!  I love these littles!

LA Temple

August 2013

We love taking the girls to the temple!  We went to the LDS Temple in LA and walked around the beautiful grounds, and went to the visitors center.  This temple is special to us, since this is where Ian and I were sealed.  Afterwards we meandered around Westwood Village in the quite little shops near UCLA.   

Charlotte's Blessing Day

April 2013

Ian gave Charlotte a father's blessing on the second Sunday in April at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in Riverside.  We invited our close friends and family to attend and then join us for a little lunch after.  We were so happy that so many loved ones were there.  Charlotte wore the same dress as both her sisters wore.  I'm so grateful that Ian was able to give her this special blessing and be surrounded by so many wonderful people.

Easter 2013

March 2013

We had some fun Easter activities!  Living at my parent's house, we were in the Canyon Crest Ward and the primary puts on a wonderful Easter egg hunt for the kids, complete with BBQ, games, face painting and an actual hunt in the grassy field.  Such a fun Saturday activity spent with Michael, Stevie, Nathan, our family and my parents!  Then we dyed Easter eggs back at mom and Vern's house.  And lastly we had a wonderful Easter dinner at Michael and Stevie's house with my Dad and Janette.  It was a lovely Easter!
