At the beach!

We were in Newport Beach, California for 8 days. Jason had a conference for work for part of the time and the rest of the time we had fun visiting Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach, San Diego and driving along Highway 101.

In San Diego

The USS Midway Aircraft Carrier. We toured it for about two hours - it was amazing!

We found this great sign from Kate, Brady & Mya when we got home!

September Landscaping Project

About a month ago, we re-landscaped our yard (with the help of our friend, Joel, from Vintage Landscapes!). These first four pictures are the "before" pictures.

Let the work begin . . .

The hard-working boys taking a break. Brady spent the night with us the night before and helped from 8:00a - 5:30p without complaining once (let's not forget his last name is Ehresman!). He loved it!

Happy onlookers!
