Daddy Becomes A Boy Scout

Steven was recently called to be Boy Scout Master in the Young Men's of our ward. Before going on their first campout last week, Steve was checking to make sure the camp stove worked... in the living room... and produced a fireball which burned the hair off of his arm. Welcome to scouting, for the young and old alike!

Here is Jackson helping Mom make rolls.

Boys in Bed.

Love the smiles!

Surfing, take II

Ah, President's Day. Who doesn't love a Monday holiday? To celebrate we hit the beach. Steven, of course, hoping to strike something dead. Unfortunately the "visibility" was low, thanks to the gia-normous waves hitting the shore. Steven's dental-mate brought a couple of surf boards, so we enthusiastically attempted surfing on the billowing sea. Looks like fun, yes? Foolish! While Bridger was riding the waves, Steven and I were trying to get past the break, a thing at which we were completely, completely unsuccessful. The waves kept THROWING us back toward the shore. Our attempts actully ened w Steven lying on the beach exhausted after escaping a riptide and the beach lifeguard coming over to make sure we were ok. Embarrassing I know. I did, from my experience, gain an understanding of why all the beachbum surfers have dreadlocks- my hair was really in the way. Dreads keep things a little more under control. Speaking of beach bums, Here is Jackson breaking and entering with the Sorenson Brothers, the little criminals.

Thanks Bridger and Lauren for bringing your surf boards and Sorensons for a best day! Happy President's Day. And Happy Valentine's Day. Here is Jackson with his See N Say. Thanks Nana and Papa and Aunt Jenna!

Today Jackson and I made a quick trip to the Trader Joe's. The grocery stores here in South Pasadena have great customer service. They offered Jackson a balloon. It made the little guy's day!

We love the Little Guy!

Last Week

Ten Megapixels? Really? Yes JD you were right, I am very much dissatisfied w the image quality of this camera. Our Disneyland passes are nearly expired, so last week Jackson and I met some friends outside California Adventure, here is Jackson sitting on the giant O.

Jackson doesn't really like Disneyland, he is afraid of all the rides. He did like chasing the little birds that hang out by the rides.

Saturday Steven had a dental student 3on3 basketball tournament at UCLA. Becuase so many teams dropped out they started the tournament early and we got there just as Steve's team lost. It was kind of dissappointing, but we did get to see the beautiful UCLA Campus.

Sorry, did this post sound negative? On a more postitive note, Jackson went to nursery on Sunday, yay!! He came home singing "Snowman, snowman" it was pretty cool. Happy Valentine's Weekend everyone!

Look'n good for church
