Presidents Day Weekend Walk

 We had some sunshine over the weekend (not that it was necessarily warm) but we had to get out for a family walk.  The boys had  fun talking to each other and we all loved getting some fresh air and some energy out.  A neighbor had their flag up and it was blowing in the wind, reminding us of Presidents Day, and the reason for a day off from school!

Valentines Day!!!

We had a lot of fun celebrating Valentines day this year- We made valentines cookies together, made our traditional heart shaped pizzas and exchanged simple yet fun gifts with each other to show our love.  My sweet father-in-law surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and Nate got me my favorite candy in the whole world & a thoughtful card. I had fun doing crafty decorations to make it special.  

Newport Beach

Before leaving California, we had to see the ocean, so we visited Newport Beach-  The boys loved running up and down the beach chasing seagulls, and we all loved feeling the sand in our toes!  It was a beautiful day and we wished we could've stayed longer!  

Disneyland!!!

After much waiting and saving up we finally got to experience Disneyland.  It was such a magical week and worth all the saving and waiting. We loved every minute of it, and had a wonderful family vacation together.  We can't wait to go again in the future!  

January Snow Storm

It's not often we get a good snow storm where we live, but we were surprised by a big one in January.  The boys even got to miss school and play in it.  We had a lot of fun staying in, drinking hot chocolate and enjoying a good old fashioned snow storm!
