My day with Oliver




I went and picked up Oliver from Becky's yesterday after spending the day with them. I wanted to give her a break after 9 days with kids non-stop. I also wanted a distraction from waiting for the offer we are supposed to get today. Here is my day with Oliver.
Oliver fell asleep on the drive home to L.C. but came into my room at 12:20 a.m. so I slipped into bed with him to spend the night. He woke me up at 6:00 a.m. We watched Curious george, ate toast and had cocoa until grandpa woke up and offered to take Ollie for donuts. He took him over to the lot too where oliver tried to tell him he had to go poop. Too late, so he had an accident. I had no other clothes for him so I went to tjmaxx for shorts and a t-shirt,oh, and underwear. We watched a show on curious george learning how to ride a bike, then he helped me with some stuff I had to do for O.A. in Pasadena. Then we spent 2 hours at the kidspace museum where we found this amazing water play area I had never seen before behind the bikes. We had lunch there where Oliver ate an entire hot dog, fries and a lemonade. Then we had to play at the playground at the rosebowl for another hour. We had a Mc D's cone and now we are home relaxing. It's been a great day. I wish I had more grandkids closeby so I could do the same with them!!! Oliver had dried completely by the time we came home at 3:45. No offer yet.

A really good man! (recorded at disneyland for Laura on mission in Korea)

In this world of disolving marriages, let me just let the world know that I am married to a really GOOD man. He brings cheerfulness wherever he goes. He works hard to be successful so he can bless his family. I may not agree with all he has sought, but there is no question in my mind that I have been blessed with a truly GOOD man. I am so grateful to the Lord for our eternal covenants and our committment to those covenants as we learn and grow old together and I love him so much. Thank you honey for all your love and patience. You inspire me to be better and more forgiving of humanity and all the flaws and weaknesses of humanity.

Amanda claims that if she ever ends up missing, she will be found, most likely, in Santa Monica. She says it's her favorite place.

New L.A. temple visitor center







I loved the reflection of the Flag on the window with Christ on the inside. A closer look shows our own Stan Neilson in front of the Christus.
