Our trip to the coast.

Ian kept looking at the ground while swinging, so he became pretty dizzy.
Ian smiled the whole time we sang the Happy Birthday song to him.
Grandma decided she wanted to dress like Ian.
During our recent trip to Atascadero we went to a park in Morro Bay and celebrated Ian's birthday.  The kids enjoyed the park and Ian's new bubble machine.

We made it to the snow!

If you had asked the girls a week ago if they had ever been to the snow they would of said, "we have been to the ice".  Two years ago we went to the snow, but there hadn't been a significant storm.  We took the girls to a sledding area.  Kaeli went down a hill, flipped her sled and ended up with a bloody nose.  The ground was just too hard, so we went home.  We made it a mission this year to give them a better snow experience.  We went up to Bryce's house in Forest Ranch.  Seven minutes from his house we found the perfect sledding area.  In some areas the snow went up to my knees.  Everyone had a blast including Midnight.  This was Midnight's first long trip and she did great.  Midnight loved playing with Bryce's dogs and running in the snow.   We couldn't of asked for a better day.  The girls had fun sledding, making snow angels, and making a snow man.  Ian even went down the hill once with Kaeli.  Ian loved eating the snow and throwing snow balls.  Now the girls finally can say they have been to the snow.
