Getting ready for Spring

Spring is in the air….We are SO ready for spring to be here!
Heather was having some fun playing around in the backyard last night. The weather has been great the past few days so we took advantage of it while we can.. you never know when the weatherman is going to throw some more spring showers in the forecast for us
Maybe I’m a little bias.. but she is so cute!! and I love her boots!
watch out.. Heather is on a mission to find more rocks! good thing we have a big back yard! (or was she running away from the crazy person with the camera ?? ) haha
taking a moment to take in the day

Daddy smooches!!!!!
the sunset was beautiful! I love seeing so many colors in the sky

these shoes are made for walking…

Heather was having some fun wearing Mommy’s shoes, she even put them on the right foot =)

what do you think? do these shoes go with the jammies

Heather was chasing me..she may run better in heels than I do LOL

who is that girl over there reading the latest news about Elmo?? hahahaha

Happy St Patty’s Day

Its not easy being green but it sure is lots of fun hahaha Hope everyone had a great St Patty’s day! Every year for St Patty’s day we go to Kevin’s Mom’s house for corn beef and cabbage. Its far from my favorite!! but its once a year and when you are part of an Irish family there are some traditions you should keep We put on our green and had some fun.

 Diane has plants everywhere, this is on the front breezeway.. Heather just loves fountains and the sound of water.. it was hard for her to resist not sticking her hands in and splashing around but she refrained this time…as you can tell by the look on her face it took a lot of control not to play in the water

This tree is perfect for sitting in and thinking about important stuff like.. when is my cousin getting here, I need someone to be mischievous with…

took some time to play in the front yard and check out some of grandma’s flowers

Daniel and Heather were having fun playing blocks

Daniel was cracking up because Heather was tickling his ears

funny time to catch a picture.. but no, Heather is not beating up her 2nd cousin Daniel.. they were actually trying to give each other a hug.. it was pretty cute! Those two have a lot of fun playing together

 

River Trip!!!

Hello March!! Its nice to have our sunshine back.. oh how Ive missed you sunshine! Kevin’s best friend Craig, his wife Regina and their beautiful baby girl were visiting from Germany so the Hannah’s were Havasu bound for the weekend.. its much closer to visit AZ than Germany heehee! (Craig's parents live in Havasu) This was the first time we were going to meet Annabella and were very excited We were only there Sat and Sunday but we got in a lot of fun!

We made a quick stop in Ludlow on our way out to Havasu to stretch our legs. There was this bench with “our flag” on it so Heather wanted to check it out  (We are proud Americans in the Hannah household and are teaching Heather what "our flag" means so she gets excited when she sees it)  

spent a few hours at the beach checking out the boats, water, ducks and whatever else looked interesting on the beach

hhmmm.. how does that song go.. I’ve got my toes in the water.. life is good today!

Meet little Annabella, Heather calls her Bella they became good friends, Bella is almost one year exactly younger than Heather
This is Craig w/ Annabella chillin on the beach
Gil (Craig’s Dad) , Craig, Kev and Heather
Its hard to see but there is a roadrunner in the tree.. Gil said they have a nest there and every night at sunset the daddy roadrunner hops up there for the night
the sunset was beautiful, the colors were amazing! and the view was just breath taking from the front patio

Here’s the girls and their Daddy’s

On the way home we had to make a stop.. someone said “I pooped” so we made a quick stop! LOL while we were stopped we played around in the dirt for a few, where there are rocks there is entertainment for Heather.. the world becomes her canvas!

I do feel very blessed every day by this little girl, she keeps reminding me every day to find joy in even the smallest things!

The Hannah’s had another exciting and relaxing weekend even though there was a lot of driving involved.. but totally worth it!

More reasons to Love CA!!

More Hannah adventures this weekend. We were out in Calimesa so made a stop at Oak Glen (the apple place) and we found snow!! It was soooo cool to watch the snow fall on us while we were driving. At first there was rain and then it got quite and snow was falling! We had to get out and play in it for a few  
doesn’t that tree look pretty with all that snow on it.. well.. it was then.. some fell on me and then it got Kev hahaha and YES he is wearing shorts, but if you notice they are his long winter shorts so its ok hahaha
Our little snow bunny! This is one of the first times Heather was really able to play in the snow. She loved it!! I think she really loved learning how to throw snowballs.. if I had a picture of my face when she got me with one.. it would have been priceless!! she has good aim LOL

Raffe had to get out in the snow a little too

 I wouldn’t want to live in the snow but if I did.. this is my dream house!! Its beautiful, I cant wait to see it this spring when we go back for apple season!

after the snow we drove about 25 min to play in the mud.. we were out for an adventurous day what can I say =)

it was a beautiful day at the top of cajon pass.. had to believe we were in the snow only 25 min ago (or so)
apparently we didn’t have enough mud on the jeep.. Heather put a little more on there for us ..she’s so awesome!

I guess Heather was needing a snack??
tower seats baby!!! My first time to the drags in Pomona and Kev and I scored some great tickets!
we snuck down to the “special fence area” to watch a couple of passes. We were next to Mrs Force and Ashley Force.. how cool is that!
there was a tribute to Don “the snake” Prudhomme. It was pretty neat to see how race cars have evolved. The Snake was there signing autographs but the line was WAY to LONG! but he was looking good!




John Force was ready to go!!!

Playing in the snow, playing in the dirt and going to the races all in one gorgeous weekend.. just more reasons I love CA! Our little state has plenty of faults (earthquake and political haha) but when you have weekends like this how could one want to be anywhere else! Feb sure went by fast but I think we are ready for March to begin.. Im sure ready for spring to begin!!! hope you all can take a moment to enjoy the beauty of your day!
