OH! Fun in the Snow




































Brianhead Utah...A week of snowboarding, skiing, snow angels, freezing cold weather (which required a ton of layers before going outside), and a break from the HOT weather here in SoCal!

The Sand And Sea


Just hanging out with Ferdinand the Bull

Oh...I love Ferdinand

And my sister!

Thank goodness for AAA...nothing worse than ending your great get away with a flat!

Glorious, isn't it?

Behind the scenes of the puppet show put on by Aunt Melissa, Jae and Livvy!

Soaking in the sun with Papa, who would ever know it is the middle of January in this picture!

Such a beautiful little baby, my dear little Emerson!

Love from Papa

5...4...3..2...1...BLAST OFF!

Ride 'em cowgirl!

"I think you broken your ankle" exclaims Dr Jaelynn

Never a dull moment with this little performer
When did she grow up?

Playing at the Gullwings Children s Museum

"Can I check your baby"

"You feel all better now Libby?"

Hours of entertainment were had in the back of the ambulance and the Emergency Room at the Children s Museum

I love naptime! Jaelynn finally decided to take a nap as long as she could sleep next to baby Jackson!

Great little place near where we were staying

Hamming it up in the Television Studio

100% adorable

Need I say more?

"Mom, these corndogs aren't made from Ferdinand s, right?"
There she is again looking so grown up!

Camping at the museum

Our view on the patio every morning as we sipped our coffee

Watching the fishing boats leave for the night

Learning to ride a bike!

These pictures are in no particular order as to how we spent our week. The girls and I were so lucky to go spend a week not far from home in Ventura with Amma, Aunt Melissa and Jackson. Our days were relaxing (well as relaxing as they could be with four small children) and included trips to the harbor, playing on the beach, eclairs and coffee, fish and chips, a photo shoot on the beach and a trip to the local children's museum. More pictures to come!

Christmas Cheer!


cousin 'nuggles

Just starting to coo and smile
Kona (Melissa's kitty) trying to stay out of trouble

Miniature bucket truck for Jackson that kept Boots quit entertained

No we did not name her after the pig with the great imagination, although she does remind me quite a bit of Olivia the Pig!

Yeah, new jammies! Don't they look impressed?

Those are slippers in my hands, so that I stop running off with my Moms

Lots of time for snuggles and cuddles with Amma and Aunt Lindsay

Our mischievous lil elf

We decided that hot coco, pancakes and Family were the best way to spend Christmas morning!

Thank you Melissa, who made our yummy chocolate hazelnut pancakes!

Enjoying the first cups of the morning coffee!

So sweet, they kind of look like candy canes!

Our little man

First smiles of the day

A Very Merry Christmas!

We were spoiled this year...after an amazing morning with my family we packed up and went to Fresno to spend the rest of the day and the weekend with the Parish's! I have pictures from our time there on a camera that I left at their house!
