Sledding

























On New Year's Day we took the kids up to a snow park to go sledding.  Lots of fun was had by all.  Eric took this picture of David.  I love it because of the expression on his face and the way the flying chunks of snow stand out in the light.  It makes me feel all light hearted and kid-like just looking at it!

Sisters

I needed a sister fix this weekend so I took a little trip to Vegas to visit my sister, Jean.  We did a little shopping, a lot of talking, and looked at all the slides I scanned of us last month when I was in New York.  This picture was taken in '74.  I know it's not a great picture, but I love the way we are holding hands and getting ready to run off to some adventure.  I've even got a leaf in my hand that I must have collected somewhere.  Ahh, those were the days!

David's Dinosaur

David has taken an interest in Dinosaurs lately.  Last week he said, "Mommy, next week I want to go to one of those places where they have Dinosaur bones."  Lucky for me I had already planned on going to the newly reopened California Academy of Sciences!  Lucky for me they had a cast of a T-Rex!  Lucky for David he has a 17 year old brother that can lift him up high for a cool picture!

Bride - 1962

For years my mother always said she didn't have any pictures from her wedding.  Recently we came across some slides taken by her brother-in-law.  When I was visiting her we found them again and I scanned them!  Isn't she beautiful!

Hillcrest Pumpkin Patch

The TreeHouse had our annual trip to the pumpkin patch today.  It all went well if you don't count the fact that Boone was in one of his moods and kept shouting "Shut up!" at everyone including me.  I think I may need to change my parenting technique with him.  What do you think?
