We had a great Saturday together! This weekend was VERY warm, so we were excited when some friends from our ward called up and invited us to go to the beach.
All the kids really enjoyed digging in the sand.....
and playing in the water. The first time we went to the beach Donovin didn't want anything to do with the water, but now we can't seem to get him out, even when his lips are blue from being so cold! Halle is also a brave little thing and dives right in. They both love the ocean!
So, after we got back from the beach it was a little after 2 and Halle had a B-day party to go to for a boy in her class. The poor kid got sick and had to sit out for most of his own party :( Poor guy.
So...then we had to go home and make some brownies for the ward activity which was a talent show. Tyler signed up to show one of his old college short films, and dazzled us all with his wit and charm as the MC. He was really funny! Great job Ty!
The ward missionaries (us included) signed up to do a pie eating contest to promote the ward mission plan P.I.E. which stands for Prepare, Invite and Excitify! We're really trying to get ward members excited about sharing the gospel with others, and had a whole sacrament dedicated to the new ward mission plan and thought this would be a great way to promote it. The Elders even got in on the action!
So, I didn't win, but had fun anyway. I couldn't stop laughing and was afraid pudding was going to come out of my nose at some point. I was SO sick after and don't think I'll be able to look at, or eat chocolate pudding for a long time!
Nice huh? Thanks Jen for taking the pics for us!
So...it was a busy and really fun day for us. I love it when the weekend comes and we get to spend time together.

Hey Kristen,
You must not have noticed, but in that last picture you have a little bit of food on you face. I can photoshop that out for you if you want. :P
Looks like a fun day! I LOVE the ocean!
I love that you are doing this blog. It makes being so far away seem less so. We had so much fun hanging out with you guys when we came down. Thanks for letting us stay.
We love you guys.
I cannot believe you guys were at the beach that it is warm enough to go- the last couple of days here have been warm so I think there is hope yet for warm weather. I am so glad you guys are doing so well down there. way to go on the pie eating contest.
I am so glad you guys are loving life in LA! I loved the beach pictures--I'm so jealous of the sunshine (and your skinny legs)! It sounds like you have a great ward and some good friends.
