We recently took a trip to Lake Arrowhead with the boys for a fun family vacation. The boys had never been there and we thought they would love it. We were right, they had so much fun. The weather was beautiful and there was still snow on the ground. We stayed at this cute little lodge that we loved. Jay and Logan got car sick and didn't feel so well the first night but soon quickly recovered and were bouncing off the walls. We played by the lake and fed the ducks. We took the fun Lake Arrowhead queen boat ride and we hiked in the Children's National Forest. It was such a fun trip and I think I secretly wish we lived in the mountains. (sometimes)

Jay was trying to hit us with snowballs. So fun

Logan was trying to do the same

This is one of my favorite pictures of all 3 of my boys.

We got to eat lollipops and feed the ducks. Yahoo

Catalina Fun

This last month Julie & I got the chance to sneak away to Catalina by ourselves for a few days. The weather was great, the room was quiet and we just had a great time. Check out the pics below.

Back to Bloggin

Well as you can tell I have neglected my blog for some time now. I haven't really been in the mood to post anything or couldn't find the time to do it. Well we have been super busy with different things and have been having fun.

Andy started his new job at Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine and he really enjoys it. We are so grateful that he is working and grateful that he is working in his degree field. He has met some really great people. He seems to have a ton of fun and sometimes I wonder if he is really working or playing video games all day. LOL.

The boys have been keeping busy with school and activities. They are getting to be quite independent and sometimes very stubborn. Logan had to have his two front teeth pulled after a fall on the hardwood floors fractured both teeth. Soon after that his bottom tooth was loose and we were able to pull it out. Needless to say the tooth fairy has been visiting our house regularly. I love the reaction that we see in the morning when the tooth fairy has come. It is absolutely priceless. We have gone back and forth on a sport that they want to play and I think we have settled on Ice Hockey. They will be starting Skate School soon and I can't wait to see them on skates. (pictures to come).

I have been keeping busy also. I have really tried to keep my new years resolution with exercising and eating healthy and think I have done good so far. We have been sick with the stomach flu for about 3 weeks so that has kinda put a stop to the exercise. Now that we are better we have been able to resume normal activities. Life has been busy but I am hoping to get back to bloggin regularly.

Wow, What ham’s we have

Ok, Ok, I know this is normally Julie’s turf… but this is just to dang hilarious NOT to share, so Julie, forgive me. So, the other day I got a game for the Xbox 260 called “You’re in the MOVIES”.  It uses a camera and has you do a bunch of little mini games then puts it all together into a short movie clip.  Below you will find the results… CHEARS!!!! Andy.

yes, this was all done in a Video Game

1st Tooth

Jay's new grin



That's right my baby has lost his first tooth. I can't believe it. He was eating dinner and his tooth fell out. He handed it to daddy and we were both shocked to see it was his tooth. I couldn't believe it. He is only 4 yrs. I thought that it was too young, but the dentist said it was a little early but not unheard of. I think it may have gotten loose because he was playing football with his daddy and he said the ball hit his lip. Who knows, either way my baby has lost his first tooth. Can you believe it the tooth fairy and Santa all in one week.

The Graduate

Well the big day finally came. December 17, 2008, Wow its hard believe that Andy is done with school. He received his Bachelors degree in Digital entertainment and video game design. I remember the day he started and the boys were only 3 months old and us saying wow they will be 4 when you graduate and it seemed so far away. Time flies. Even though its been a long four years, it does seem like it just flew by. I am so proud of him and all is accomplishments. He graduated Salutatorian and with high honors. He worked very hard and spent many long sleepless nights working on many assignments and projects. He has really enjoyed all the things he's learned and has made some great friends. The ceremony was very nice and Jay and Logan thought it was so cool to see their dad dressed up funny. We couldn't be more excited about him being done and to see what life has in store for us now. Congratulations Andy. We love you!!!!
