Look Out World--Christian's Driving!




Christian took his first driver's training a couple weeks ago! He went at night from 8 pm - 10 pm. I was worried the whole time he was gone, but thank goodness he made it home safely! He is already a good driver because of the experience he has driving tractors, trucks, atv's and go-carts at his grandpa's house.

I'm enjoying our time together in the car now that he has his permit. He likes to go grab something to eat and run errands together now because it gives him a chance to drive. I like it just because I get to spend time with him.

On Sunday the men and boys in our ward all stood up in front and sang "As Elders in Israel". I looked at Christian and felt a great sense of gratitude for the joy he brings to my life.

Labor Day Weekend in Monterey

Christian went camping with his cousins in Arizona so Andrea and I decided to take Julian and his friend Ethan Verdoorn to Monterey to visit the acquarium and to enjoy the ocean.
Ethan loves climbing rocks! Every time we saw rocks he went straight for them!




At the Acquarium--This is in the seahorse exhibit.

The hotel room view on the terrace.



We also took a short boat ride and saw lots of seals.



I like these potted and sculpted bushes.

Bouganviglia grows so well near the beach.....
