BIG BEAR LOVE

These loves were my New Years sweeties. Too snowy to come down the mountain, we stayed and played in all that white snow. Missed Jeffy but better safe than sorry.

 Cream soda and snow razors and Jacuzzi make for a great afternoon.

 These two melt my heart!

 Building a ramp or driving around for sledding options are always and adventure.

Till next time BB!

SWEET LIFE

In a week…

Sun! Thank you for coming out and warming us. We love you.

I am feeling blessed to live a life full of joy and to share all of it with really awesome people.

 Little Corona, one of our spots we love. The girls found 7 sea stars (star fish). The tide pool police were there and we got an ear full. Bella has a new career she is looking forward too. 

 Earth day (week) had a theme everyday and the kids took this very seriously. Thank goodness for amazing moms at our school because I was able to following along in the fun.

 Everyone should go see the dump. It was really sad but educational. I will try not to be so wasteful. 

 Stater Bros. trip for these little guys. Love these kids!

 Flower festival and a special date for these two.

 The sweetest little friends I'll ever have. 

 To Big Bear and beyond. We are very active when we come here. Games, hikes, zoo, tennis, bike rides, basketball, and you name it. I hope these kids remember how special this time is, I WILL.

 And to end our week with a party on the beach. So beautiful! 

 Icing on the cake to see these cuties.

 Really, Day of the Dead? As I see the other children with farm animals and butterflies, here these two come. 

I feel blessed beyond measures to live this busy, crazy fun filled life.

SNOW MUCH FUN

A couple times a year we are blessed to go to Big Bear. We go with our family, catch up with my brothers, go on the boat, play at the park and relax. This year was different. I went with just the girls and we got snowed in. We saw friends, we snuggled and watched movies. New jacuzzi means hot bath and then jump in snow. Snow! Lots of it and we were kinda in awe over it. We made hills, played on toys and did lots of snow angles. We went to the zoo and saw beautiful black bears and watched the carnivores get down on some meat. So thankful we have this time (although we missed Jeffy) to recharge and make memories.

Mornings are the best here. Hot coco and coffee are dragged out with snuggles and giggles.

 Played at the Fishers who live down the road. With a family of 4 kids + extra boys = tons of fun.

 Thanks Dena! 

 Surprised how long they played in the snow. It wasn't the typical 10 minutes, cold, crying, lots of work for mom. It was me calling them in for a meal or it got to late. I already miss it and want to go back.

 

Some child of mine took this with the iPhone and its right as we descend from the beauty. 

Thanks dad and T!
