He Will Be Missed

We will sure miss Gordon B. Hinckley. Maybe we will name our next kid Gordon... Gordon B. I love this picture with him and his wife. I am happy that they are together again.

Pirate Party

CJ had so much fun with all of his cousins and friends on his 3rd birthday.




JB painted this pirate boat for the bean bag toss.



I painted this pirate for the pin the eye patch on the pirate game. I painted it on extra wood from our house.



Captain Jett and princess Maci.


Even baby M dressed as a pirate.

CJ found the pirates booty.


Pirates! Gold! Sword fights! Walkin' the plank!

Wicked

JB and I went to go see Wicked with my brother Steve, and his wife Jessie, and some of the Smith family. We had such a fun evening with them. We went out to dinner at In n Out, then we all drove up together in their big, awesome, van. We arrived in L.A. with lots of time on our hands, so we walked around and looked at the stars, and we also went into a cool vintage clothing store. Jessie, Spencer and I all found some cool wigs!

We all enjoyed seeing Wicked so much. I am obsessed with it. I listen to the soundtrack all the time. Johnny and I were so lucky to get such great seats. We were only 8 rows back and in the center. It is definitely my favorite musical I have ever seen. JB and I would love to go see it again. I would recommend it to anyone.

1st Time in Curlers

I put Curlers in Miss B's hair tonight after her bath. She was all smiles. I am so happy I have a little girl to pamper. Today she is 13 months old and time has flown by!

Pirates Booty

I bought some pirates booty at Trader Joe's today. CJ found the open bag on the counter, pulled a chair over to the counter and pulled the bag and spilled it everywhere! The whole bag was on the floor. He did not seem to care though. He started eating it off the floor. Papa heard all the commotion and came out of his office and joined him.

Life of Ryan with the B's

A couple of weeks ago on December 21st we took the family to the SC skate park with my brother Steve and his wife Jessie. We saw the MTV crew filming The Life of Ryan. My brother was skating with Ryan, because he has known Ryan since he was a little boy. They use to skateboard together. Then the crew saw CJ and Johnny skating and wanted to film them too. Maybe CJ and Daddy will have a little cameo on MTV.

CJ is obsessed with skateboarding. He has been doing it since he could stand up (11 months). We use to have a ramp in our backyard before we ripped the house down. Now he always asks to go to the skate park with Daddy so he can drop in.

New Toys

Miss B and CJ are obsessed with this ball toy. Baby M got it for her b-day. It is a good toy because both age groups love it.

Construction

Here is a picture of JB walking on the roof. He is crazy!


Here is a picture looking down the hall from the Master bedroom into the kitchen and dining room.

Here is a picture of Jb in his new studio above the garage.



After we looked at the house, we decided to take a walk down town and onto the pier. We can't wait to be back in HB and go for walks down to Main Street, the beach, and the pier.

House in Progress

Here is a video of CJ and Dad looking out of Dad's studio window.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I think 2008 is going to be a great year. Last night we hung out with our friends Deron and Cora and watched Nacho Libre, and had yummy snacks. Then at midnight we went outside and our neighbors were lighting fireworks. Today we went to T-Street with Steve, Jessie, the Smith family, Aaron, Lang, Annie, Joey, Bennett, Stella, and my parents. CJ and Daddy went surfing. It was such a gorgeous day down at the beach it felt like summer time! I was actually hot today.

The babies were sound asleep. I love having a boy and a girl. (Notice baby M sleeping with her little mermaid doll).


Baby M peeking around the corner of the couch while we were watching the rose parade. She loves to play hide and seek.
