Storm of the Century

Ok, so it wasn't really the storm of the century, but it sure was impressive! There was a tornado warning, rain, lighting, thunder, and a little bit of hail. The wind was blowing so hard it damage practically everyone's fences in the neighbor. When Dave went to home depot to get supplies they were all out! It was a bit scary to watch, but we felt safe and secure in our home. We even said if only we have visiting teachies and home teachies to call and check on! The craziest part of it all was watching a neighbor's trampoline catch wind and roll through two yards (including fences and on top of cars). Dave and several neighbors (8 people total) carried it back to its rightful home. Yeah for Texas!?!

Picture Day

The Sunday before we left california, we decided to make it a picture day.
Here they are:

Great Grandma

Here is Lucy at Great Grandma Garlock's house. It was her first time there. She had a lot of fun being held by Grandma Garlock and she really like playing with the cat, Sammy. It was her first time to see one in person. Sammy kept her distance, but Lucy kept crawling over to her. It was great seeing Grandma Garlock, I am so glad she is doing well.

Mini Retreat

In the middle of our vacation Dave and I took mini retreat to the beach and left Lucy with her grandparents. I am sure they had a blast. We had a blast as well. We got a campsite and a hotel room so that we could sleep inside but have bonfires and cookouts during the day. It was perfect. We spent the entire first day at the beach. I got some really funny tan lines, of course! I loved the smores. The second day was over cast so we went to a movie instead of freezing on the beach. We saw a night at the museum-in imax. I have never seen anything in imax before. It was really cool. We also ate at a great restaurant called Wind and Sea. I had the best salmon in my life! I think Dave really enjoyed his as well. We also took some time to go to the temple. That was a much needed trip. It was my favorite part of the whole vacation. Here are some pictures of the beach, campsite, hotel, and imax theartre.

Wagon

Lucy took a wagon ride around the yard and loved it!!!! She had so much fun in the sun and being pulled around. I pulled her for 45 minutes and she didn't want to stop. I did because I could tell I was getting burned!
