Sledding in Oak Glen!

It rained all day yesterday and it was cold enough that there was a little snow on the mountains this morning.

We drove up to Oak Glen and took Preston, Paige, Kimberly, my friend,  and her son Joshua sledding.

We borrowed snow pants and mittens from Kimberly since they used to live in Chicago.  Neither of us had sleds so we used a swim tube and a boogie board.  They worked pretty well.

I took Paige a few times down.  It was really fun.

We did a 360 and ended up here.

Wipe out!

She loved playing in the snow and making snow balls.  She enjoyed eating the snow too.  

Oak Glen had quite a bit of snow.

Time to go home.  We were all wet and freezing.

Farewell Party!

Our friends Jim and Liana Wilson and Debbie Jensen hosted a Farewell party for us.  It was wonderful to visit with everyone.  Thanks to everyone who came to wish us well in Texas. It is going to be hard to leave our friends and the gorgeous weather.

Debbie, I love you! 

And of course, the TEXAS FLAG!  Taylor had to bring  it.  He has so much Texas pride.  

Lakers Game

One of Taylor's customers invited us to the Lakers Game against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.  

His customer got reservations at this restaurant inside the Staples center.  We ate dinner while watching the game in the stadium.  I am leaning up against some glass.  It was really cool.  

Jack Nickelson is the third person in from purple bench.  He has on sunglasses and is wearing black and brown jacket.  

Then we went to our seats for the last quarter of the game.  

We also won 4 free tacos cause the Lakers won and the Suns score was under 100.  

Valentine's Activities

    Callie, Preston, and our neighbor, Bryce made these cute Valentine's paper flowers.

My friend pinned these valentine's and I made them for the kids classes.  Took a while but turned out adorable.  Not a great picture.

Newport Beach

The weather had been so nice in Yucaipa, we headed to Newport Beach.  I decided to pull Callie out of school since we are moving back to Texas and we may not be able to go again.

 My friend Sarah and I went with her 2 kids.  They rode their scooters all over.  We went to Jack's surfboard shop to buy some Tom's and the kids did great.

 There were so many surfers in the water.  It was crazy.  You can't see very well.

 It was a little bit chilly but Preston and Callie put their suits on.  They had so much fun.  We weren't able to stay very long.  They were disappointed we had to go home so soon.

 Paige and Afton.

Girls night out/Baby shower

   Lindsey, Charity, Me, Katie, and Melanie eating at BJ's.  So yummy.  We had a great time.

Playing Winter dress up

 It wasn't really cold outside but they decided to put it all on.  Preston's hat is too small and Paige's is Callie's hat.  Still cute!
