FUN FUN FUN

January ended w/ some parties and the good times rolled right into Feb.. what a great way to end one month and begin another! The neighbor friend and Papa (aka Kev's dad Gary) celebrated their bdays at the end of Jan and we started Fed off with some good ole fashion play time w/ friends

our pretty little princess celebrating her friends bday

the bday girl and her silly friends

play time at the park.. the girls were trying to do pull ups which was more like hanging and wiggling as long as you could =) 

you can just hear the laughter in this pic

admiring the view from top of the rock

the deer came to visit for Gary's bday

these two crazy animals conquered the hill while they were there

the funniest way to get back down..

my niece Jessi always finds a skull on her little adventures.. this was a racoon we think? 

the little ones helping Papa blow out the candles

I love that H gets to play and enjoy her Great Grandpa! 

a very special surprise came to start Feb off.. our dear friends got engaged. We were invited over for a little get together and then Darin surprised Ashley by proposing to her :) so happy and Ash was soooo surprised it was very special to be a part of the new chapter 

her smile just kept getting bigger and bigger =) 

We watched the super bowl on Sunday and routed for the Seahawks but really wanted to see a good game but apparently the Broncos didnt want to play! The rest of the weekend was amazing!

With the month starting off with such great times I cant wait to see what else lies ahead...

Montebello Barnyard

We never knew there was a barnyard in Montebello! Its a small little barnyard but the girls had tons of fun! We went on the pony rides, a little train ride, visited the animals and the carousel too. There's a nice park too which is perfect for a picnic. There were plenty of trees for shade which was nice since it was in the upper 80's.. gotta love CA winters =) so glad we found this little spot

Heather was so excited to ride the pony again.. the first time the guy let the girls trot a bit, they giggled the whole time!! 

the smiles and giggles say it all

this cute little piggy was having fun but oh man did it stink!!!!! thankfully the rest of the barnyard didnt! 

we think these are alpaca's.. cute and soft

the cow cracked us up.. it kept mooing at Kev everytime he said something =) 

pretty little pony was very friendly

hello there...

dentist anyone? 

a couple of turtles 

the goose had  a LOT to say.. it was honking like crazy! 

a very nice lady shared some food w/ us and the girls (and animals) were very excited. 

this little guy snuck out to see the girls 

friendly little guy!

What a nice way to spend a day! We love finding new little places to check out

Royal Tea and Story Time...

A little girls dream tea party comes true.... tea with REAL princesses!! My friend Lisa found out they had a tea and story time with the Royal Court on Saturday and the girls just couldn't have been more excited! All the little ones dressed up as royals and the Queen and Princesses each read a princess story and then it was time for tea and crafts. Our little princesses learned how to do the perfect princess waive and of course the importance of helping others and always wearing your most beautiful smile. 

our little princess with our favorite Prince Charming 

Heather was waiting for the princesses and didn't want to turn around for the pic =) 

Zoe and Makalea were very practicing their princesses smiles  

Princesses meet the Princesses =) 

The girls realized that there were more princesses than just Disney princesses and were so excited to me them. They made crowns and wands too. It was a great afternoon! 

The Royal Court is very sweet and did a great job reading the stories and telling the girls about their adventures being princesses. 

off to a good start..

 The New Year is starting off great! Heather's bff turned 5 and we got to celebrate with all their friends and then we were invited to another friends ranch to play with the horses =) Heather LOVES horses but has never been to keen on riding.. well that all changed. We are so proud of our little one for facing the challenge like a champ! Our friend Laura's little one who is 3 has grown up around horses and showed H the ropes.. next thing you know they are both up on the horse and taking turns in the arena =)

We had a great visit with the man in red again this year :) 

at first Heather didnt want to take the picture so we had to scope him out from upstairs then.. it was ON!! she was so excited to go see him!! and we got lucky to because no one was in line =) 

Heather ran right up, jumped on his lap and they chatted for a few minutes

Heather asked if her friends made the good list, asked if they could have what they wanted too and then told him what she would really really really like =) 

what a treat to hang out with Santa!!! 

2012 was a good year for Santa too.. she was really into seeing him

It wasnt always like that though...

there isnt a picture w/ Santa for 2011.. we just said Hi, smiled and went on =) 

2010 = classic!

yes, there must always be that one picture.. priceless!!! the funny thing is that her shirt says I believe in Santa.. I guess that's only from a distance LOL 

2009 she had her pic w/ Santa and pretty much was in different to the man in red I dont have that picture handy but here is our little family for our first Christmas :) 

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!
