Beach Day

It was cloudy, humid and 90 degrees in Simi on Thursday, July 12th. So we decided to head down to Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard. Where it was cloudy, breezy and 68 degrees. Not my personal ideal beach day but I was a team player and head out with the family. David and Tanya our down for 2 weeks and Rachel, Cory and Jocelyn are here for a week. Rachel and Jocelyn meet us there.

4th of July!!!

Shannan and I decided to head over to the firework show at the Cochran building because the word on the street was it got pretty crowd at 6pm. Yeah we showed up and no one was there. We would have been fine showing up at 5pm. Oh will we got a free lei from Sister Ae for being one of the first ones there!!

Nothing says July 4th like Irish music at fireworks…ummm…

or a little Pirates of the Caribbean

Oh so we are American!

and the Big Final. so but the memory card got full!!

29 Days in Counting!!!

London 2012 Summer Olympics are just around the corner! Are you ready?

WE GOT THE CUP!!!

My brother David only had one Birthday present he wanted this year!!

We like to thank the Devils for bad sportsmanship!

WE GOT THE CUP!!

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!

My nieces request for her birthday desert over Skype yesturday for Saturday

She got her cake and ice cream!

Yep my finger was in the way of the flash!

and her chocolate cover strawberries!

I am from the Williams Clan!!

You asked what we did as the crowds trickled out of Bethany's house after the baby blessing! We entertained our self on taken photos on iPods and iPhones!

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.

Saw these baby geese staying very close to their mamma’s in a grass area in gardens!!

This rose is called the Brier Rose!! I know you so want to sing songs from Sleeping Beauty!!
