The Zoo is Turning 100 Years Old!

We had a great weekend in San Diego this past weekend. The zoo was fantastic and we had great animal sightings! The beach was cool but Gabby is one tough beach kid! We had a stop at Dr. Granets and they took some pictures of Gabby's optic nerve. It was a great trip and we all had a lot of fun!

A Garden has Been Planted!

Kern County Turns 150 Years Old!

A couple of weekends ago we went out to the Kern County Museum where we celebrated Kern County turning 150 years old! The girls had a blast going in the old buildings, banging on drums, getting in the train, petting camels, playing in bounce houses and riding in jeeps! It was a beautiful evening a we all had a great time. 

Insane Inflatable 5K Run!!

Gabby and I did our 1st run together. It was a 5K out at Hart Park. Her friend Charlotte did it with her and they had a blast!  I was very proud of Gabby and she did great!  She wore her medal until noon when she finally jumped in the pool for the 1st time of the season!

CALM and Symphony Concert

We took the girls to CALM to enjoy the animals and a perfect day! We got to see a barn owl and 2 hawks up close and personal...but the hit is still the park at CALM!  Gabby and Rory with with Grandmother Ann to the children's symphony concert at CSUB yesterday and enjoyed it.

A visit with Morning Glory

The girls had a great time this weekend. We visited the farm and each girl got to ride solo on Morning Glory! It was supposed to be raining but it was actually beautiful weather this weekend and we got to see Aunt Sandy and her boys as well and attended a birthday party for a cousin - all in a day! Lots of fun...and a thumbs up from Lilly!

Easter 2016

This year we decided to stay in town for Easter.  Ann and Russ treated us to a morning brunch at Stockdale Country Club followed by another egg hunt and pony rides.  The girls looked beautiful in their dresses and all were on their best behavior!  It was a great morning and we truly feel blessed. Happy Easter!

Werdel Easter Egg Hunt 2016

The girls always look forward to the Werdel Easter Egg Hunt.  This year was no different! It was a grand affair as only Katie can do.  The Bigler streak was broken when Lilly found a golden egg! There were lots of tears because Gabby felt she had worked so hard...but it was a great lesson in life for her. Lilly shared the egg and is a proud owner of a Golden Egg medal - we are very proud of her.  All in all - it was a great event and a lot of fun.

Gabby loves her Parka

Gabby is swimming a couple times a week and in spring - a parka is much appreciated. She is doing great and swims over 500 yards a day! 

Sleepover and Headed to the Farm

This past weekend Gordon and I did a race in Las Vegas and the girls got to have a sleepover with Cheyenne and then got to spend a couple days at the farm! The girls were all excited and not one wet eye in the bunch!  Happy to raise such independent kids!

Experimenting

The other day Gabby asked for a different hairdo...with 3 braids! This is what I came up with. She was thrilled!

Easter Party Time

Gabby had the 2nd Grad Bunny Bash and had a great time - she got to spend all day at the park!!  Lillian and Madeline had their Easter party and parade and got all dolled up for them!  Always a fun day!
