My birthday!

Yes, I am now 26! On my birthday we went down to visit a lady that Jared taught on his mission in Australia named Lynn. She was on a big 2 month long holiday of the United States. We met her down at the hostel she was staying at in Santa Monica and we hung out at the pier, rode the ferris wheel, and went shopping!

Aladdin

A few days ago I started making Jordyn a dress, and I totally messed up the bodice, so I threw it away. A couple hours later a found Scott wearing it as a vest, dancing around singing songs from the movie Aladdin! Plus he found a bowl to put on his head like Aladdin's hat!

Our new backyard!

OK, so it's actually the same backyard, we have just finally finished it. It was basically just weeds and our spa, and we just got the weeds cleared and cemented it in. The kids are very excited because they can finally play back there, and there new favorite thing to do is eat there food out there!

Ants!

So I guess you should not leave a bowl of scrambled eggs on the table overnight!
