Catch Up

We've had a busy couple of weeks. My mom came and stayed with us for 9 days. We enjoyed visiting the beach, temple, parks and petting zoo. I was able to get in dentist and hair appointments! And Adam and I were able to sneak away to the Dodger/Yankee game, Knight and Day movie, and Eclipse (once I got to go with my mom, once with Adam)! We took great advantage of a babysitter and the kids LOVED spending time with Grandma Teriann!

The beach!


Gasol from the Lakers threw out the opening pitch of the game. I may be starting to soften on the Lakers....

Visiting the Newport Beach Temple



The petting zoo. It is a mile from where we used to live and we used to visit it a couple times a week. Courtney has a best friend there. A bull named Billy. She LOVES that bull. There was a new cow in his pen when we got there. Upon asking where he was, we discovered he died on May 9th, due to old age and arthritis. Courtney sobbed (and we just told them they moved his to a different farm). She came home and had me print and frame this picture of them and she has it next to her bed. Above her bed are about ten pictures she drew of her and Billy....
Taken last August....

After she found out he wasn't there.
