Playtime!!!

Since the LA Kings won the playoffs. David and his family decided they had to come early to watch the Kings play in the Stanley Cup!  (more on the games later) Why yes the little ones had hot chocolate when it was 70 degreeish outside!

I found this cool cheap homemade catapult game on Pintrest.

Very easy to make.

• Block of wood
• 1 wooden clothes pin (I used 2 gave it more support and durability)
• large tongue dispenser
• 2 litter bottle cap
  
  

Use hot glue,

1. Glue clothespins to wood block
2. glue tongue displaener on clothes pins
3. glue cap on tongue dispenser (about 1 inch away from end, to give a little leverage)
4. make a small enough tape ball or crumped paper ball
5. Write 5, 10, 20 , 25 on 4 paper plates to score points.
6. HAVE FUN!!

I gave Kaitlyn, Ethan and Audrey 3 chance than the switched players. They played to 100pts.

Just because Ethan wanted a picture!!!

Happy Birthday Nadeyah!

After going to LA Live to watch the game. The car Nadeyah was in stopped at Carl’s Jr. and picked up one of their mini chocolate cakes for Nadeyah’s birthday. We got to sing her a birthday song!!!

Go Kings Go

I went to game 4 (June 6th) with David, Tanya, Christian, Jayna, Bo, Laura, Nadeyah and Megan. David and Bo actually went into the Staple Center to watch the game. 

The rest of us watch at LA Live Plaza at Lucky Strike.

This was game 4 as I mentioned above against the New Jersey Devils. The Kings were only one win away for winning the Stanely Cup! It was a disappointing game the Kings lost. 

So on to game 5 in NJ.

(they lost game 5, head back to LA, June 11th)

I blame it on the office party that decided it was a good idea to have a party reservation in the middle of the 3rd period and stand the whole time they were bowling. A really you can't tell me they didn't know what was going in on the plaza and Staples Center! 

They weren't even their for the game!

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!

Descanso Gardens

I finally made to see the some of the blooms in Descanco Gardens. Yes, it was hot and sunny but we went anyways. As in we I mean Grandma W., Mom and I. I also got to practice more of the manual controls on my camera.

On May 4th, Mom, Dad and I flew out to Utah for baby Samuel's baby blessing. It was a beautiful weekend, the weather was great and the company excellent!!! We got to see and stay at Bethany and Brandon’s new house. We even got to try out their new recliner chair!! A prefect napping spot!

Saturday Cory, Rahcel and Jocelyn joined the us and we played in the front and backyard!

Made it to the park!!

Dad got some grandpa time with Samuel!

Bedroom Final Outcome!!

Here is the final out come of my bedroom makeover for the walls anyways. There will be decoration on walls in the near futures.

Tender Mercies

As I think and reflect on this past weekend about the passing of a good family friend Andrew Mihalo, who was in the Green Beret's and was killed Afghanistan fighting of my freedom and the freedom of others. I think of how many lives he touched. Especially my brother Stephen and my sisters Sara and Rachel. I loved hearing their stories of Andrew and how blessed they were to have him in their lives. I don't have any specific memories of him, just some photos here and their. A trip to Death Valley with the Boy Scouts and at the ice staking rink. I am guessing it was a youth activity for the church. Honestly I don't even remember beginning there, but I glad the photo was taken and their to share with others.



He seemed to be the protector and go get 'em to all from the memories of my siblings. It sad and disheartening to know that he is gone but so wonderful to know that we will see him again. I am sure he is fighting a bigger fight in heaven and is on the front line serving God and his kingdom.

As this news came we as a family were blessed with tender mercy that Rachel (my sister) will be bring a baby girl in to their family. Their 2nd girl! It is so wonderful to know where there is death, there is life also. That it is all part of God plan for us!
