Look Who Has Come to Town!

I am so lucky my little sister Liz has moved to town!  She lives about 2 minutes from me.  Her husband is a solar salesman and is opening up the Inland Empire division for his company.  I couldn't be more thrilled.  It's like having a built-in Best Friend!

Goodbye Junior

We came home from Mormon Helping Hands on Saturday and found this baby bird that fell out of it's nest.  There is a nest in our sun umbrella over our outdoor table. After some hysterical screams the kids decided to do a little funeral for "Junior".

 Sorry for the graphic picture (I still don't like looking at it), I am just doing this to document for the kids!

They had a ceremony, song and all.....Luke was there and was making the funniest comments about how dumb this was, and that he hated the song they were singing. When Drew showed up late and missed seeing the bird, Luke told him he could just dig him up.  The girls did not like that answer!

Then of course the MOURNING picture......afterwards Brynn says "OK now onto the Luncheon." Haha.

Night Out

 We were able to escape life for a little bit and have a fun night with our neighbors the Carpenters.  We went to the Mission Inn and ate at the Mexican Restaurant Las Campanas in Riverside.  It was so YUM! We then headed off to watch the comedian Brian Regan. A night with lots of laughs, good food, and great company!

Skunk Obsessed

 We had a skunk run into our backyard and hide in our bushes.  Luke kept trying to look at him, he said he has never seen one. I kept begging him to come in the house because he was going to get sprayed.  Luke kept saying "Mom, he is stamping his feet." Finally I got Travis on the phone to convince him to come and stay in the house.......

 

Watching for the Skunk

 

 Still watching from afar!

It must have escaped in the night because to Luke's dismay it wasn't there in the morning.
