Girls' Room

We are getting ready for our Michigan kids to arrive. Our latest efforts have been directed at the girls' room. Here is their new bedding.

Garden

We have a nice little garden going in the back yard. We are having an issue with "rogue" corn. Tommy has worked very hard at clearing these pesky volunteers. Hopefully this will give more room for our tomatoes, zucchini & cucumbers.

Happy Mother's Day!!

If you have boys or brothers this will hit home :)

Our Puppies

We just love having our two dogs Sheba & Sophie. Their personalities are so different but perfectly matched as a pair.

Birthdays!!

This past week Tommy & Lagea celebrated their birthdays. Their present was a very cool grill :)

Past Weekend

This past weekend was quite busy. The California Mulls got a visit from Lagea's sister Susan & her three kids. The Michigan Mulls spent time together celebrating Grandma Sandy's birthday. Here are pictures from both gatherings.

Look out for Pirates!!

This ship is docked behind our house. We haven't seen any oocupants of the Black Pearl sneak up on us :)

Mellow Spring Break

We have spent this past week just puttering around the house. Today we went ventured down to "our" beach :) Here are some pictures.

Ol' Faithful Jr

These past 5 months we have enjoyed our beautiful home. This weekend a new "feature" was created behind our fence. We are thinking that we might charge admission to "Junior" until housing can correct this issue :)

Fun job

Tommy had the great fun of firing the canon. This is ceremony done once a quarter which the whole family enjoyed watching.

Durango

Here is the newest example of God taking care of our family! We had a list of items that our family needed from our latest vehicle. We prayed over the list & God provided all of the things & a few extras too :) He loves to show off!

Romance Conference

Tommy & Lagea had a wonderful weekend attending the Long Beach Alliance Church Romance Conference. This was a great chance to reconnect after Tommy's recent TDY. We are so thankful for what God keeps doing in our lives!

Yea!!

Tommy is finally home after 6 weeks in New Mexico!! We are so thankful for his return! We now need to pray that Lagea's brothers return home from Africa safely.

Lagea's Uncle

We are so proud!!

Governor Appoints Oregon State Police Superintendent
01/25/2007

Governor Ted Kulongoski today announced the appointment of Acting Superintendent Tim McLain to the position of Superintendent of the Oregon State Police, pending State Senate confirmation. "Deputy Superintendent McLain answered the call in December to serve as Acting Superintendent, and he has carried out that duty with integrity, honor and dedication to the safety of our communities," said Governor Kulongoski. "His knowledge of our state and his nearly 28 years serving Oregonians as a member of the Oregon State Police make him exceptionally qualified to lead Oregon's top state-wide law enforcement agency through this upcoming period of growth and expansion."

Senior Citizen Project

Lagea's parents started working on our backyard on Thursday. They finished Saturday night. Doesn't it look great?!? We will be planting a garden this spring behind the fence.

Furniture!

Some of you were aware of our lack of furniture these past few months. This past Tuesday at women's Bible study, Lagea asked for prayer about this dilemma. On Wednesday at 1pm this beautiful couch & armchair was delivered to our home! Not only did God answer that prayer fast but with alot of style :)

Our little over-achiever :)

Our second child has earned the rank of first chair in clarinet. She was also got a role in her school’s upcoming play. We are all very proud of her!!!

Horseback Riding

Three of our kids were able to go horseback riding for their cousin's birthday. How cool!! They had loads of fun!












Aren't they cute?!?






This was their first time on a horse for the two youngest kids

Our visitors :)

We have been blessed to have visitors come to our new home in L.A.

1. Nana (sitting with our third) & Poppa (not pictured) Corley during their trip with us to Knott's Berry Farm in November.

Heather (Lagea's cousin) drove up from San Diego for the first weekend in December.

The Coleman Family (Lagea's sister) arrived the first week of January 2007.

Our third with the Coleman girls doing the tourist thing :) The Coleman's youngest slept through the sightseeing.

We love the company!

Will you be next??

Isn't she cute?!?

Sophie is a 10 month old mutt at the pound. Hopefully she will still be available tomorrow. If so I will get this adorable pooch :)
