L.A. Zoo

Recently I realized that Allison had never been to the zoo. What?! What kind of mother am I? By this same age my other children had been to the zoo MULTIPLE times! I'm really slacking with poor kid #4. But I did redeem myself by tagging along with some friends to the zoo. Allison LOVED it! I knew she would. I just don't know what took me so long! It was a great day with great friends and amazing sunshine! Love California!

Dad's Cool Job

One Saturday, Dad called us up and said to hurry over to the college - the helicopter was landing. He had to be there with the fire truck as a safety backup, so he was able to have us join him. The kids thought that was pretty cool to see the helicopter land and then take off a little later. They got a thorough tour from the pilot and Darren was excited with lots of questions as he is considering becoming a pilot in the future.

The Happiest Place on Earth!

This truly is one of our favorite places to be as a family. It's the perfect time for us to visit Disneyland - everyone is brave enough & tall enough for the rides, nobody is in diapers, nobody cries. We love Disneyland! Sadly, this was our last trip before our annual passes expired. It will be a LONG time before we shell out money for that again.

I love this pic of my kids:


We spent a couple days here, camped within walking distance. I love when it is decorated for Christmas.


This is my attempt at a last minute family Christmas card photo. Alli wasn't very willing.

California City - December

One of our favorite family activities is to go riding in the desert.
We went here for a couple nights during Christmas break. It was FREEZING! The kids don't seem to mind though. They still have a blast!
