La Brea tarpits

Stinky tarpit smell. This is a fun museum to go to. Travis, Ginger, Clay and Taylin. We learn something everytime.

Taylin holding on for dear life.

These are some of the reasons we love this girl! She keeps us laughing.

Full of energy!

Love her!

Lake Mead

Sierra and Taylin excited to go. Clay is taking this thing serious!

Rhonda and Steve having lunch.

Enjoying the lake.

The scariest moment in my life!

Proof they survived. Luckily no broken bones. That could have gone wrong in so many ways.

Jake and Clay

Everybody after the rattle snake rapids. We were so glad to have Amie and her nieces and kids go with us. Everyone had someone to ride with so we didn't have to go on too many.

These two girls got so brave at the end. I still can't believe they went on the swings.

Tugboats, yay.Just found out that her bell doesn't work.

The girls.

The beginning of the end of our backyard. Taylin and Travis taking down the last tree.

Digging the footings. Keo's not sure what is being done with his backyard.

Clay playing on the mound.

Not sure what happened with the slab pictures. So onto the framing.

We prayed for no rain for a couple of days there.

Clay claiming his bedroom. Not sure about that yet.

Taylin checking the trusses to make sure everything is going as planned.

Travis... stressing?

Walls are up.
We were checking the backside of the house and looked over our neighbors wall and found some little baby quail. Unfortunately they didn't survive. The mom never came back for them. We found them the next morning. It was sad.

Front side.

Keo wondering when the grass will be back. Poor dog.

Cleaning up the mess.

Getting there.

Almost.

Baby Quail.
