Getty Villa

For my dad's birthday today, he wanted to go to the Getty villa down in Malibu.  Tyler, I, Gracee, Gregory, Annie, Michael, and Dad all went together today, and got to experience the beauty of Malibu.  It was a gorgeous day, and the villa was a really cool place.

Gracee & Gregory thought this was hilarious

Afterward, we stopped by the beach...

More Golfing

I'm sitting here waiting for Tyler to go to our friends house for a New Years Eve get-together, so I thought I'd post.  Today we were lucky enough to see lots of family, and do some fun things.  Earlier, we met up with Paul for lunch.  After that, we got to see my parents new house in Alpine!!  It really is a beautiful house, and we are so excited for them to be in a big place with lots of space.  The kids are going to love it!  Then, we went golfing AGAIN.  We just can't get enough of the PBR golf simulator. It is so cool.  And this time, we got 17 holes in, in a 2 hour span.  Now, I'm just waiting for Tyler so we can finish the night off great.

Again, sorry for the dark, blurry pictures...

Piper's Blessing

Today was Piper's (Tom & Caity) blessing, and it went great.  After the blessing we went to Caity's grandparents house for a breakfast/luncheon.  (more pictures to come)

Sorry for the blurriness...phone pictures

The Asian Market & the Aquarium

Yesterday we spent the day with Paul, and we went to an Asian Market, which was really cool, as well as the Sandy Aquarium.  The aquarium was better than any of us expected.  They even had an open water area with sharks and sting rays, where people were allowed to touch the animals in the water (Ty & Paul did it...I was happy being a spectator).  Afterward, we got pizza and watched "The In-Laws."  I'm waiting on pictures, so for now I only have a couple.

Big H

Yesterday we went to Big H, and it was just as good as I remember it being 5 years ago (has it been that long??).  I'm a sucker for chocolate shakes, and theirs did not disappoint.  I love that their burgers are the kind that nobody else makes.  Every thing about them is delicious.
