California.....

Sunshine, palm trees , hydrangeas, roses, the sound of the ocean, the smell of the ocean in the air.Running on the beach(my favorite!). Watching the kids chase the waves. Watching the big boys attempting to surf.Watching THE sufers. I can't wait. As my dad says, these are the paydays, and I am sooo glad we ge to go!

Newport Beach

Newport,obviously not the greatest photo, I think I took it three years ago with a disposable camera. But hey you get the idea. And then there is me, with my very own MR. Incredible at one of our favorite places to eat the Blue Bayou. I am looking forward to having a great time with my family, and then also all of my brothers and sisters!

Just realized I should have posted that the other way , with the sledding coming first and thennnn the story about her scar. But oh well.

Hanging out on a long cold Sunday, love, love,love my kids. Even if she won't let me document the scar up close!

The wound her brother gave her

Ok , I feel like a terrible mother, it actually was a little deeper than I originally thought. I just brushed her off and told her to get back on the sled and have fun. She wouldn't let me photograph it up close but you get the idea.

Saturday Fun

We went to my brothers for some snowmobiling and it was alot of fun. I can't believe how long those kids can stay out there. I do not like to be cold! I had taken my camera because it was such a pretty day, but, as I just said I do not like to be cold, so I came in after just a few shots. Tanner got to learn to drive the snowmobile and he loved that. Even tho he was going in a circle over and over and not very fast , he managed to throw the kids from the sled. Lili and Jade were scared but not hurt, Brightyn came up laughing, and of course the only one to get wounded was his sister, who is not going to let him forget that he scratched up her face. ( It was a long ride home,all the way to far off Salem with Gracie reminding him of her wound)
