Thanksgiving and Our New Place

We have been very blessed to spend 2 Thanksgivings now with Bob, Elaine & their family and have super yummy dessert with John, Valene and their new little Peanut (Ammon). We started a new tradition this year when it comes to pie time. We will have some random dish to go with the pies. This year was the corn dog. It was quite delightful to eat something sweet and then take a bite of corn dog :)

The pictures at the bottom our new place.

Oh yeah, our son Jackson is a superstar at air hockey!! Holy Cow I was so shocked, he really puts up some great competition. This kid has reflexes like no other 2 year old I have ever seen. Jackson and I played a game together four about 15 minutes straight. He then of course wanted to do his victory dance on the table.


Jackson and his super cool buddy Jaron



The break dancing, victory dance!

Quest, Stephanie, Shannon & Fallon Rock!

We made the coolest friends in Los Angeles. Quest and Stephanie are definitely some of the coolest people we met! We had so much fun with them and Kip, Katie and their cute kids. Almost every Sunday since we moved to LA we played games at Kip and Katie's house. Josh and I actually knew Quest from a long time ago. Josh and Quest were in the MTC at the same time and Quest and I were in the film program together at BYU.

Quest and Stephanie gave us 2 super cool hookups! Josh and I got to go to the Jay Leno show and sit in the front row!!! I do have video footage of us shaking Jay Leno's hand, I just need to get it off the tivo. Josh and I LOVE Jay Leno, we watch his show every weekday, so when Quest said he could get us tickets we almost passed out. It was awesome and I am still in shock that we were in the very center, front row! Oh yeah and we got to say hi to Larry the Cable Guy too because he was on the show the day we went! It was awesome!!

We also got to go to Disneyland because of Quest and Stephanie! We had so much fun. Jackson and Shannon are falling in love as you can see from the pictures. All day long, everyday, Jackson says I want to see baby (Fallon) and Shannon. It's seriously the cutest thing in the world!

Filipinos Rock!

We have loved living in Los Angeles, mainly due to the fact that there are so many cool people. In our neighborhood there were a ton of Armenians and Filipinos. A third of our ward spoke Tagalog which was awesome for Josh! Josh was able to help teach a super cool guy named Reygie. Reygie spoke Tagalog so the missionaries asked Josh to come help translate for them. Well Josh and Reygie became great friends and as you can see from the pictures Reygie asked Josh to baptize him on November 16th. It was such a great experience. The only problem we had was Jackson trying to get into the baptismal font, because he thought if Daddy could go "swimming," why can't I?
