Baptism in Bakersfield

This weekend was so much fun! We were invited to the baptism of our friends 10th child.  The Lugo’s are a very loving family and we were so honored to be part of this special day. Isabella Grace was baptized on sat at the Lugo’s family church then we went back to their home for a party.  There were so many little one’s running around, Heather had a blast! The bigger kids helped the little ones up the ladder inside the bouncy house and then they all slid down the big slide.

tights make bouncy houses a little slippery..they didn’t stay on long

the kids loved this

isnt this backyard great for kids! the house was just amazing and you felt so at home.. once you figured out where you were going =) so many rooms but for a family of 12 you need a lot of rooms

Heather was excited to be on the trampoline..this girl loves to bounce!

a little teeter totter time with Daddy. Kev was loving  it!!

It was great to see our dear friends and be part of their special day.

Feb Fun!!

I cant believe Feb is already here! the year is zooming by so fast but that doesn’t stop us from having fun every chance we get =) Last weekend my friend Lisa and I took our girls bowling, Heather and Zoe loved it! and we loved that we didn’t have to rent those smelly shoes for them. They put up bumpers and have a little stand that you put the ball on and then the girls can push the ball down the lane. They got to the point where they could carry the ball to the stand all by themselves.. our little independent girls! Then we had lunch at the airport which was fun! The next day The Hannah’s headed off to the santa fe dam to check it out…believe it or not Kev and I hadnt been there before so it was fun for all of us to check out.
After bowling the girls wanted to go driving =) even though they couldn’t reach the pedals they had a blast
the weather was great.. to bad the water didn’t look that good
we liked this tree..
didn’t really understand this.. its painted blue for wheelchairs but for what.. we have no idea..
it looks like a launching pad..
duck, duck, goose…
you just know we had to run through the birds.. Heather was cracking up!
so the not so fun part of the weekend.. having to buy a new washer! OUCH! but Heather got a new fort and loves it!! I just love her imagination!!!!!!

Kev finally decided on the shocks he wanted and got them.. we are so excited! arent they beautiful =)

proud moment for Daddy.. Heather wanted to know what they were for.. she now understands about bypass shocks LOL

my creative side blossomed (haha!) Heather and I traced our hands and made a flower for Kev and then asked him to be our Valentine.. he said YES of course!

these yummy delights are what Heather added to her pals valentine bags.. arent they cute! Thanks Nestle! all I had to do was break them apart and cook them.. well and I tried 1 just to make sure they were ok =)

Happy Valentines Day to all of you!!!

The Hiking Hannah adventures continue…

yep, you guessed it.. another gorgeous weekend meant another great hike for the happy Hannah Family! It really is nice to just step back and enjoy whats around you.. it gets rid of a lot of stress, good exercise and a great time with your family! what more do you need on a weekend right!! (well, other than those fairytale mice to come over and clean my house  etc LOL ..)

the other day Heather asked me if she could have a cookie and then I hear some crackling noise.. guess she figured I was going to say yes huh! now we know who the cookie monster is LOL these are the “who-nu” cookies.. and for being a healthy type cookie.. they’re actually really good.

a sunrise that was most amazing!

Kev and Heather stopped to listen to the hawks

the hill is pretty steep but Heather makes sure her Daddy gets up the hill just fine =)

our little trail blazer

we took a longer path this time and Heather needed a little break..good thing we have a “off road” stroller

there was just something about this tree I really found interesting!

look down there.. do you see our house?

it was so clear you could see forever

we found the mustard trail.. hot dogs anyone??? hahaha

Heather wanted to lead for a bit.. she took off up the hill and told us we had to run like her (we did..)

happy pup taking a break

happy little girl taking a break

end the day with a big smile on the swing =)

it is the little things that make you smile most! I cant wait to see what we find next weekend…

a hiking we will go..

we have been doing a little hike every weekend.. the weather has been so nice lately, a little chilly sometimes but nice! This hike we headed over to Azusa Canyon. We made a stop at the sporting goods store and bought our adventure pass and then headed to the hills. It was so beautiful, the water was chilly but it didn’t stop our pup  from diving in. We hiked around the stream and then headed over to the rincon trail to check out more.

Here’s our little water lovin pup

my 3 loves!

awe..arent we just adorable!

Heather was throwing a little rock in the water but doesn’t it look like she threw that big rock in just below her hand =)

My pup was very excited.. she was ready to take flight!

Heather had a blast throwing rocks in for her pup to chase

is the sky beautiful!

later that day Kev gave Heather a lesson about camber (how the wheels align) She just loves to help with anything we do! She’s a total Daddy’s girl!

we love our little adventures! its only a few hours and we get to check out all this cool stuff right near home!

Hiking adventure

 

Last weekend we headed off on a little adventure right in our own back yard.. well the hill behind our backyard anyways =) the weather was just right for a little hike up the hill and check out the view.

this is the castle Heather built for her princess barbie (I helped a little, but she did most of it) I think we may have a future architect on our hands..

we stopped to check out what may live in the little holes on the path..

my 3 loves!

what a view

its days like this that make me happy I live in so cal!

finding a new path

who knew that our stroller came with a water bowl for the pup LOL

the hike was fun for all of us and next time the stroller will stay at home.. Heather enjoyed hiking the whole hill and on the way home we stopped by a house that had the horses, they came right up to the fence to say hello. Heather and Dingo both love horses but since the owners werent out we couldn’t pet them.. Im thinking we are going to be meeting them one of these days..we have decided to take a little hike every weekend the weather lets us or at least a good walk… we take an adventure any time we can =)
