It's about time.....

Sorry....sorry....sorry.  I have been neglecting my blog once again.  But, this time I have a great excuse!  Ok...maybe not....just lazy. :)


Ok, so a lot of new stuff around here lately.  1.) Miss M celebrated her 12th birthday!  Yes, we have a 12 year old....crazy!  She had a few of her close friends over for a sleepover complete w/pizza, ice cream cake and very little sleep. :) 


 Princess L' is now 10 1/2 months old and into everything!  She pulls herself up onto anything she can, and is especially fond of peaking out the front window when G'ma comes over to pick up the older kiddos for school.  I think G'ma likes seeing her smiling face, too. :)

We recently took the kids on a little excursion to California for 8 days.  We crammed quite a bit of activities into our trip, too.  We were able to go to old town Sacramento, visit a train museum, visit family, eat ice cream for breakfast (only on vacation!) at Hilmar Cheese, go to the World Dairy Expo (we're dairy people, so what Disneyland is to the kids....the WDE is to my hubs!), go to the Fresno Zoo, and hit Disneyland.  Fun times were had by all!
Ice cream in Sacramento

Visiting Aunt Ada and Uncle Jake in Patterson along w/our former minister and his family. : )  Oh....and for the record....Aunt Ada makes the best coffee EVER!  J', sr. and Pastor Kevin aren't huge "hot coffee" drinkers, but they both LOVED her coffee.

Family in Patterson.

Hilmar Cheese tour w/the kids....complete w/sqeaky cheese and ice cream for breakfast.


D' was our map reader at the zoo.


Visiting Uncle Kris (J.,Sr.'s brother) and Aunt Coby in Tulare, CA.

L' LOVED the rides at Disneyland.


Ahhhh....the happiest place on earth. :)  Um....D' may have missed the 411 on that. . . hehe.


So, that's our months of January and half of February in a nutshell.  Thanks for reading. :)
