We Made it!

We made it to California! Here are some pictures of the home we are renting for the year! It turned out really cute - thanks Karen and Dave for all your help in this fun moving process! We have really enjoyed California so far. We have been to the beach a few times,(Santa Monica, Manhatten, and Newport). We also have been to Universal Studios, (which is only 8 minutes away) and to Griffith park, played tennis, saw the Hollywood sign and stars and we have swam in our pool most everyday. (except Sunday of course) In addition to unpacking and fixing up the house. It has been pretty busy!
Jeff starts work tomorrow - so back to reality and real life I guess? We sure miss all our Minnesota and Utah friends. Our house is always open and visitors are surely welcomed. Happy Summer to All!

Back Patio
the Pool, which my kids LOVE. Caden can even touch in the shallow end!
This bedroom we made into a playroom because it was really small for the baby furniture.
the guest bathrooms- Caden and James room (really a dinning room just off the kitchen we converted to a bedroom) sorry should have shut the doors for the picture.

Jeff's Bike rack he made out of 2 x 4's . Which we store in the pool house/ shed/ garage.
Caden loved helping his dad fixing things - he got out his own Handy Mandy tools and would do a little pounding of his own.

Well you kidda get the idea right? Welcome to LA!
