Mary Poppins

We had a family outing and took the girls to see Mary Poppins.  Our friends the Cupers went with us and we were lucky enough to have Grandma Debi and the Bigler's there s well.  We all had a really good time and the show was fantastic.  The look on the girls faces with the vase broke and they had little pieces of glass on the floor by them was priceless...it was "who is in trouble for that?"  They had front row tickets and couldn't have been closer or have better seats.  Great experience and looking to next season.

A Weekend of Tennis, Bike Riding and Ice Skating

Gabby wanted to go to the farm this past weekend so we had the younger two girls.  We did some great bike riding, lots of awesome tennis ball hitting and Lilly had her first trip to the ice skating rink.  Lilly has had a break through with tennis and is really doing a great job of hitting the ball over the net and seems to really be enjoying it. Maddy had her big moment this weekend and rode her bike all the way to the tennis courts....before she is 3!!

A Trip to the Snow

On Sunday we headed to Alta Sierra and had a real experience in the snow.  It was a little icy but the girls enjoyed the tube park and the sled run (which was free) and all in all - we call it a successful trip.  Gabby is fearless and launched off the sledding trail onto the road! Glad we have done it and will do it again!

A Trip to the Pool

An aborted trip to the snow led to a fun afternoon at the pool!  It was sunny, warm water and an overall great time.  The girls are really becoming great swimmers and they love the water.  Pretty soon Maddy will be swimming by herself!

Q2 Report Cards

Some really proud parents!

A Week at the Beach - Happy New Year

The girls and I spent a week at the beach in Newport with my sisters, mother, aunts and cousins (no men allowed until Thursday)!  The pictures show it all....a great time was had by all.  We had beautiful sunsets, morning runs on the beach, sand dollars, park play on the beach, kite flying, ferry, ferris wheels, trampoline jumping, go carts, Queen Mary, Legos and LOTS of chocolate.  The girls had a hard time leaving but were exhausted and ready for a good nights sleep (maybe I was more than anyone...).  Gordon came down and spent a couple nights with us and we went to the Spectrum and did a night of fun activities with the girls.  We are excited and grateful for this opportunity to spend time at a fun place with people we love. All the girls cried because it was over...a sign of a great vacation!
