First facepainting

How adorable! Grandpa Beck snapped this great photo of Gwen and her Aunt Sarah after Sarah gave Gwen her very first face painting. I think Gwen likes it????

Playing dress up is in full swing!

This will be Gwen's Halloween costume this year but she just couldn't wait to get it on.

Even dad's socks, shoes, and hat are fun to wear.

Anything goes!

TWO drivers!!!

Brandon and Damon are now with drivers permits...yikes!

Monterey Weekend

Stuart and I went to Monterey over my birthday weekend back in August. We started our trip with the LA Temple. Wow it's big. We went in and said to the worker at the front desk, we don't have an appointment I hope we can get in, he responded...Oh this is a big temple, you don't need an appointment. It sure is big and what a highlight and perfect way to start out the trip.
