Happy Valentine's Day!

My husband loves me!

Clayton surprised me with a dinner reservation to a restaurant we have been meaning to go to. It is a Tapas Bar called Bar Celona, and we enjoed some wonderful food from Spain. Clayton was in heaven.

Thank goodness for the weekends!

So our friends Brik and Ashley found a guide book to hikes around our area and we went exploring the weekend before last. It was awesome! Here is part of what we found.

So if you look really close you can see the people in the bottom right corner. We were standing right above the waterfall.

Then after we got home, some other friends called us up and we headed out to the beach to have a bonfire. We also had hobo dinners and smores. The beach we went to was right by LAX (the airport) so the airplane were all taking off right above our heads, it was awesome.
The guys (well before Anjuli and Brandon arrived).

The girls Enjoying our smores. Mmmmm

What a good day.

Bye Grandma, good luck on your mission, we'll miss you!!!!

Grandma Hillock is headed out tomorrow to Slovenia, with a short stop in Paris. She already speaks the language and is able to bear her testimony in Slovenian. She is so excited, she can barely hold it in. We will miss her dearly but we are so proud of her desire to serve the Lord.

Oranges!!!

Clayton's grandma has orange trees in her backyard so we took a few off her hands. They're delicious!!

The Hula Hoop

Ok, so this is the heaviest thickest hula hoop I have ever seen. Supposedly, it is supposed to "trim your waistline." It has grooves along the inside and I think it has actually bruised my rib cage and hip bones, but it sure is fun.

Tess had never tried it before and she was the pro, Vicky had been practicing the night before...
And then I was absolutely horrible, I had to jump back and forth just to keep the darn thing up. Oh, well, I get better each time.

Romney Rally for Super Tuesday!!!

Long Beach, California

Sorry the pitctures aren't quite in the right order. But here they are anyway.

Clayton found out that there was a Romney Rally at the Long Beach Airport, so we called up our friends Brik and Ashley, "Romney supporters" and we headed down to show our support.

After the speech we forced our way to the front of the crowd and all four of us were actually able to shake his hand. Clayton even spoke with him for a second. Ooooh, Aaaaah. It was very exciting and fun!

Here's Mitt when he first got there, he was handed his two month old newest grandson.

Clayton and Brik made "poor college student" signs.

Then a person on his campaign felt bad for us and handed me a real sign, I was thrilled.

Me and Ashley, waiting for him to arrive.

Go Romney!!!

Ward Temple Night

It was slightly raining but we still stopped for pictures, even though it was too dark to get good ones. It's always worth a try. Here's a picture of me and Ashley.
