Brooke and Phil and Kimball Came to Visit



Phil Brooke and Kimball at Newport Beach

Cali went to her first high school dance on Sat.
You don't have to have dates for Homecoming so
she went with a group of friends..The theme of the
dance was, "what happens in Vegas" so her dress was vegas style.

Cassidy, London, and Brock



Brock and Cassidy and London after the primary program. Cassidy had over 80 curles in her hair for the program. It was a fabulous meeting! My favorite part was the kids started singing, "Called to Serve," soon the missionaries in our ward went walking up and stage and joined them in the song...then a guy in the audience stood up and started singing..followed by another guy..and then a lady...by the end of the song our whole ward was standing up singing..!

Sir Brock William


Brock in our front yard before trick or treating! He loves his knight costume..He held his sword, shield and heavy bucket of candy all night long..We got handfuls of candy at each house..then when we got home the doorbell rang about 10:30p.m. we answered and someone had left us tons of candy on our front porch! (thats the last thing we needed) but sweet of someone!

Cleopatra -a.k.a. Chantal

Chantal wanted green eyeshadow and fake eyelashes on to go with her costume last night..Is she really on 8? 8 going on 16!!!

Wicked Is Awesome!


If you haven't seen Wicked I strongly recommend this play. It is fabulous! My parents and Bill and I went and saw it in Los Angeles while they were here on vacation. I loved it again! It is only playing in L.A. until the end of this year..but I heard it is coming to Salt Lake in April (I don't know if it is the same cast but they are amazing!

Guess who pulled out Brocks 2nd tooth???

Brocks Rescue Hero actually gets credit for his 2nd tooth in a week..The procedure:::Bill tied dental floss around Brocks semi lose tooth and then tied the floss to the rescue hero and told Brock to throw his guy..so Brock did and out plopped his tooth..Brock said, "wow, my rescue hero is strong." I am not sure I would recommend this method but it worked..

Chelseas Birthday Surprise

The Mia Maids came and decorated Chelseas room while we were at dinner for her birthday..It was a great surprise! We have a amazing ward!

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

The surprise actually worked..The kids were completely shocked when we all went to the airport to supposeably pick up someone from Bills work but it was Grandpa and Grandma instead, coming into town to help celebrate Chelseas 14th birthday!

What is Brock Missing?


Brock lost his first tooth on Sat. Sept. 27th..He was so excited! The toothfairy gave him 5.00 bucks too! The fun part was his grandpa Atwood was in California just in time to pull it!

Brock and Michael Johnson loving the beginning their sandcastle and collecting thousands of shells (some of which were actually ALIVE) trust me we had to bring them home with us.

Get me in that OCEAN

Running to do some body surfing at Newport Beach!

Ferry to Balboa Island

We took a ferry boat over to Balboa Island from Newport Beach..We lost Bills wallet on the beach so we thought we were going to be permanent residents on the Island because we had no money to get back on the ferry to go off the Island..it was scary for a while we were running all over the beach looking for his wallet..we finally found it in the camera bag. It was wild but fun.
