 Did I tell you before we went swimming and in the hot tub while the beautiful snow was coming down.  I definitely won't forget it.

One more of me with the kids...

Now back to laundry and getting caught up before the weekend.
Have a great day!

Winter at Squaw

We were SO excited to go to squaw this year.  We booked this trip with jason's work not knowing the weather situation and just praying there would be great snow upon our arrival.

Well.

There was a ton of snow, God definitely answered our prayers.

It took us five and a half hours to get up there and three hours forty minutes to get home.

It took forever to get there, but it was SO worth it.

The kids the first day just looking in awe of the wonder of snow.

This is Taryn and Nolan's first time in the snow.

 It just looked magical after a night of snowfall.

 A sledding trail we found, the kids loved it.

Up and down... 

 The kids and their silly faces.

 Taryn and I waiting for the boys.

 Here they come.

A snowy day.

Yeah Dylan.  He got the flu, but he managed okay.  Even took ski lessons on day three.

Our snow princess.  She was so content just sitting and eating the snow.

Nolan loved sledding

The rest are all mixed up and mainly for the grandparents. :)

Enjoy.

Jason took this thanks honey, so cute.

Nolan thought Jason was amazing for building a huge snowball...

The resort, we've stayed in the summer, but not in the winter, so beautiful

Everyday we waited and waited for the ice skating to open and of course it was getting ready to open right before we left.  O'well next time.

Dylan and I had snowball fight.

The boys went skiing in olympic village.  The weather was kinda harsh that day, it was the only day it was like this, but Dylan had SO much fun.

Crazy as it sounds we did go swimming and in the hot tub while it was snowing.

Our car.

Taking a break from digging with Daddy...

Just beautiful.

More fun ones to come. 

Snow...Snow...and more snow.

Who knew?
There would be eight feet of powder in Tahoe in March?
Crazy.

Here's where we are headed:)

We've stayed in the summer, but never in the Winter so we are looking forward to it so much.

Pictures soon to follow.

Have a great week everyone!



San Diego 2011

Some Highlights from our trip to San Diego.

So thrilled to not be potty training this year and just able to go go go...

We had fun.

Then there is Phil's a must when visiting San Diego.

It's right around the corner from Sea World.

If you have kids you want to just order it in your car and pick it up and go to a park with a ton of wet wipes. 

YUMMY.

SUPER crowded, but well worth it after a day at Sea World.

Phils BBQ

On the way home Jason just had to take a little detour to the Regan Library.

Not the best place to take toddlers, but the kids had fun and enjoyed one of Regan's favorite.

Jelly Belly's.

Picture of Regan below is made purely out of Jelly Belly's.

Check out how small they look in comparison to the helicopter

 Outside the kids thought this was funny.

 We visited some friends in Bakersfield on the way home; so great to see old friends. 
Now back to our old schedule and getting the kids back on track.

Hope your having a great summer.

Whew lots of fun in July and lots of laundry, YIKES.

Back to reality and back to my diet and exercise routine.  

Still trying to loose that weight....vacations didn't help... 

I'm not much of a diet person, I'd rather exercise my brains out, but since I had twins and hit 35 i've had a rough time so with the suggestion of a friend i'm trying out the Paleo diet for a month to see how it goes.

I'll post more on this later. 

We actually went on one more trip in July (crazy huh) a camping trip and i'll post that one soon.
