Big Bear Trip

The Happy Group the first day. We found a small hill and simple sled behind our condo and the little guys had a great time going down.


And the big kids had fun finding ways to go down together.




Ok, this one isn't of sledding, but I thought you'd like to see Peter if you haven't met him yet.


The next day we went to the alpine slide place down the street. Slower riders and doubles had to go in the slow lane. I was able to get this cute picture of the family all in a row.


I took this while I passed Mitt in the fast lane.







I sat in the front on the way home (because I up-chucked on the way up, gross story) but got this great photo-opp. I thought this was funny how similar they looked.

Jack n' Dave's New Crib

This is our Guest Bedroom. We have an air mattress on it and only inflate it when we are using it. This is probably the most neglected room in our home.
This is my office. We got a sa-weet deal on the desk and chair. Only $80 at an office downsizing sale. This is where the big bucks are made! ha ha.

I just wanted to show you the dresser in our room that we got as part of our bedroom set. We love it!

This is the Master Bedroom. We love it. Except for the smoking loogy spitter we have as a neighbor. We wake up to his lovely sounds and smells every morning. One of the perks of living in a low income complex!!

This is our Garage with our Craigslisted washer & dryer. We love it, but we miss visiting with Mitt n' Ames and the Lomas Serenbliks.

Here is our Kitchen. Jackie has loved having a full-sized kitchen. She has even taken it on herself to learn new dishes. She has mastered a pretty mean Meatloaf!!


Our Living Room. That piano was given to us by Jackie's Aunt Donna, my Mother-in-Law's twin.
This is our Dining Room. Complete with the Christmas Tree we bought the day after Christmas last year at a great price!!

The 39th Anniversary Party

To celebrate Mom and Dad's 39th anniversary, we took mom out for a night on the town. We had a nice night out. Mom, along with 4 younger kids (and Rob) went to dinner at La Paloma and then over to Moonlight Amphitheater for a production of Guys and Dolls.




The weather was great, the show was fun and mom had a great time.
