Baking


Hadley's first cake she made and decorated by herself - for Valentine's Day.

Authors Tea

Hadley & Vincent were both selected for Authors Tea, which is pretty coincidental in the same month but great because they got to see each other as well. I was so proud of them because they both made New Years Resolutions to improve their writing and be chosen for Authors Tea.

The writing prompt for the month was 'fun things to do in the snow'. Chris was able to not only attend Authors Tea but we surprised Hadley & Vincent by telling them they would be spending the following day (furlough) at Mt. High with daddy. We left from school to go rent skis!

Little League Cap Nite

Vincent is offically a Los Angeles Dodger this year in coach pitch division!Vincent has been waiting for cap-nite since about his last game of tee-ball last spring. It was a long night for the girls though. Especially for Gentry - she didn't mind laying on the hard floor and pushing chairs around.

Koala Bear

The kids are always playing imaginary games in the backyard. One day while I was outside watering & the girls were playing something I heard them both referring to Vincent as a koala bear. When I looked up I found he would pull himself up this tiny stem tree. It sways under his weight as he climbs. I guess that is how you play koala bear.

New Years

Since Chris had to work most of Christmas day - we decided on an impromptu trip to San Diego on New Years. Victorian homes that were relocated to a park across the street from our hotel.
The Mormon Battalion Museum & tour was the highlight of our trip - (that and the hotel room & pool!) We panned for gold.



The second day we did the tour again and Hadley got to be a laundress while Chris was a soldier.

We also had fun doing a late night walk to get ice cream in our pajamas; eating fresh tortillas, and street tacos but mostly just getting to spend quality family time.

New Year's Eve Day in So. Ca.

Vincent & Daddy went and played baseball. The girls found their summer dresses and blew bubbles and played outside.
