We have a new Mechanic!

So every since Trevor left on his mission we have had a hard time getting the oil changed, getting the brake pads changed and other stuff that you do on cars. So Larry decided to train a new Mechanic. Here she is at work.

Look Mom, I'm all dirty! Here she is changing the brake pads.

Brakes done, now we put the wheel back on.

I hope that comes off!

All done time to take the jack out. Job well done! Not the girly girl you thought she was.

Company!

I recently had an old friend from my home ward come and visit. She was here for 2 weeks so we had plenty of time to play around and get re-acquainted. Her name is Renae Plazier. She is from Idaho Falls, ID. Here are a few of our adventures.

Of course we went to the beach. It was a little cold which didn't bother the kids at all.
Larry got a good nap in!

This is Renae. She is from Idaho and had a jacket on the whole time she was here.

We went to the Redlands temple, (My favorite)

the Newport Beach temple,

and the LA temple.

Of course what is a trip to CA with out Disneyland. This is after Splash Mountain. Just a little wet. Every ride we went on we were in the front.

A trip to Hollywood. I don't think the kids have ever been. This is Chris Farley's star.

Grauman's Chinese Theater. Will Smith, one of the kids favorites.

Spent Memorial day at Seaworld. This is Renae at lunch.

Larry and I on the Sky Tram.

The kids playing king of the Manatee. ( Shandy, Shared and our friend Daniel)

Shared and the Catfish. I looked like it was trying to be in the picture to.

Then we ended the evening with a ride on Atlantas. Got wet and cold. We had a great time.

Missionary Update!

I think it is time for a missionary update. Trevor is currently serving as a Zone Leader in Trinidad. He loves it there. He often comments on how nice things are there. Here is what he said about a recent trip to Tobago:
"
SO on Thursday we went to Tobago, so we could do exchanges with the elders there and help them so they could baptize. It was real nice there lots of hills to walk though and seems hotter there than it is in Trinidad. It was a good trip we rode the ferry over there which was big and nice. Next time we are going to bring the car over so we can explore a bit. "

Her are some pictures he sent from Tobago.

This is Elder Duncan and Elder Westover.

I think this is the Ferry that they rode over to Tobago.
Trevor enjoying looking at the water.

Elder Duncan, he is from Littlerock CA.

As you can see Trevor is having a great time and loves his mission. Here is a story from his last email, it gives a little picture of live in Trinidad:

"We cut some bamboo the other day so we could build a shelter for our group meetings. and so we could make some benches. we are going to cut more this week and then make them another day. thats gonna be fun. the people are cool out there so its always fun to go up." I think this is in an area they call Matura where they have started to hold group meeting. They have about 20 that come every Sunday. So he is really excited about that. The work goes on! I think the only thing he is missing right now is to be here for the Lakers games. Next year!

Go Lakers!
