Beckham loves to pack his own lunch and get his backpack ready. Luckily we haven't had to chase him down from trying to get on the bus.
Last weekend we went to Rainier with some friends. It was great weather and we had a wonderful view of the top when we arrived at the trail head.
We went with some friends in the ward that live in our neighborhood.
We went on a two mile hike (1 each way) to a lake. Caeden wanted to jump on the "hike around" bandwagon and worked his way towards the trail.
The weekend before that we went to the beach with some friends we made before our ward split a year and a half ago. 
Here is Trevor and I playing a game together on Xbox.
We watched the movie "Miss Potter." Trey always gravitates towards artistic things and tried to copy the way Beatrix did her watercolorings.
This weekend we went to the BYU game with some non-dental friends we made while in dental school. We left the kids with Marisa's family and had a great child free vacation. BYU didn't win the game, but had a very exciting third quarter. It was lots of fun to visit the LA area and spend some time with the Chapmans. We saw five different families at the game that we knew from previous places we have lived. The church makes the world even smaller.
We went to Hollywood, Santa Monica beach, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, LA...
The graffiti in LA has risen to an artistic level.
Jodee asked Marisa to growl like a stalking dinosaur and luckily I snapped the picture in time. PS - Jodee, if you post the "picture" I've got one of you for a rebuttal...so be careful!

How fun!! You've got great parents that are willing to take your kids. Are the boys listening to books on tape or music while reading in the car? Either way I need to try that next time we take a road trip. Anything to make driving more pleasant
cute pix! i especially loved the one of trey sans clothes...looks WAY too familiar! can't wait til you kids are our backdoor neighbors...woohoo!
looks like you had a nice get-away. i'm looking forward to a nice vacation like that... in a few more years! seeing all the beautiful pictures you guys post of washington gets me excited. we'll see...
It was great to see you guys! I hope your kid free vacation was still relaxing even with our 2 kids tagging along. They sure love you guys, Madison was pretty sad to hear you had left before she woke up on Sunday! But, was very pleased to remember it won't be long before we see you all a lot more!
I am still trying to figure out what picture you could have on me, I am oh so photogenic! Are you bluffing?
New house...? Are you moving? So, we just were in LA too. I wonder if it was at the same time. I never stop being amazed at how many friends you guys have. I guess it helps that you guys are so friendly.I like that Trevor is into art. I always liked drawing as a kid and it is great he is into it so young. (And I really liked Miss Potter)
Happy Birthday Marisa!
Jodee - no bluffing here, lets just say you and Rosa were in a awkward position after the game in the stands while doing your cheer leader impersonations...
Collette - we are moving, after fighting the county every way possible to get some speed bumps in and losing we gave up and decided to move. There have been about 125+ new home put in since we moved and people have discovered a traffic short cut if they cut through our neighborhood. Both of those issues have made our street crazy so we have to get off of it.
That's too bad, especially after all that hard work you guys have put into your house.
Happy birthday from me too, Marisa! I hope you guys do something fun to celebrate.
