Cute Endings

Here are a couple more songs of A singing. The first one is "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" At the end she adds the word OK into the song. Ok I'll be a sunbeam for him. The second song is "Book of Mormon Stories." At the end of this song it is hard to hear, but she sings right to sleep instead of righteously.

Friendly Egret

We went to Palm Desert last week. One of the days we saw an egret in the parking lot. He let us come up really close to him. We saw him a couple more times that week. One of the days he was just standing on someone's car.

Noah's Ark Exhibit at Museum

We went to a fun Noah's Ark Exhibit at the Skirball Museum. It is free to go on Thursdays, so we got tickets and decided to go check it out. It was very kid friendly. They had crafts that the kids could do and a lot of hands on activities and exhibits to climb on and in. A had a blast! I think that we will try to go back again soon.

Halloween!!

On Halloween our ward had a chili dinner followed by a carnival and ending with trunk or treat! A dressed up as a witch. B who has been down with the flu this week did not get to go. :( A showed him her costume before we headed out.

El Paso

A few weeks ago we were in El Paso for a few weeks for B's job. We enjoyed touring around El Paso and trying the Mexican food. El Paso is right on the Mexican border. The Rio Grande is the border between El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. Basically it all just blends into one big city.



We also went to dinner one night in Las Cruses, NM. One of the guys that B works with lives there and wanted us to join him at one of his favorite Mexican restaurants. The area of town where we were has the original building where Billy the Kid was on trial.



On our way to El Paso and on our way back, we stopped by to see my brother and his family. They have a cute home in Arizona. They also don't live too far from the Mexico border, so you see border patrol all the time.

While we were there we stopped by the Coronado National Memorial and drove to the top of one of the mountains where they have a lookout. The road was narrow and windy and I started to get nervous as I drove. Luckily we only had to try to squeeze by one truck. Going down ended up being a lot easier than up. A had a lot of fun with her cousins and was sad to leave when we had to head home.

Tea Party

So I went to my first tea party yesterday. There was a small one here locally, and I felt that I needed to go and give my support. I do not support what our government is doing right now!! We stood on the street and waved signs to the traffic and then we had a small program with a few speakers mostly talking about the problems with universal health care and some possible solutions.

More Swimming

The last video I posted of A swimming made her look more like she was trying to not drown than swim, so here is the newest video of her swimming. It was hot here the last couple of weeks, so we have been swimming almost every day.
