Family Mammoth Trip 2010

Mammoth was extra beautiful this year will all the snow on the ground! One morning J announced "Look at that falling from the air". That was his way of telling us it was snowing outside! We are so greatful to be able to experience mammoth with our family. Thanks to Mom and Dennis who continue to host all us kids and grandkids! This year was a bit different because Joshua was unable to get the time off of work, so we really missed him. But I was really glad we went because the kids really enjoy being around the whole family, they also love playing with their cousin Wren, and I really wanted J to go to ski school.

Fun in the Snow!

With all the Rain lately we have also had a good amount of fresh snow in our local mountains! This has been a blast for us and the kids! J just loves the snow, and absolutely loves sledding, and throwing snow balls! Janna likes eating the snow, and we will sled a bit! Here are some pics of our trip up to Mt. Baldy.

Joshua has a great memory of his third Grade teacher(Dr. Lauder), and he keeps in touch with her. She also taught his mom. She owns a cabin in Lake arrowhead and she invited us up there to enjoy the snow with her. It was a nice time to getaway for a few days. It was so beautiful! We had a blast!

She fits right in!

I cannot believe two months has already flown by! Jadyn Elizabeth fits right into our family! Joshua Wayne, and Janna Rose are so very in love with their sister. Actually Joshua loves her so much he is already asking for another baby! Janna is almost 18 months and is communicating more and more every day. She really trys to say Jadyn, but she also says Baby and we know who she is talking about. She loves to lay on Jadyns play mat with her, and loves to sing to her. Janna is a singer we have no clue what she is singing but she is, and she loves it. Janna also has been very close to Joshua Wayne, when he is at school she coninues to say bubu (brother). She really missed him when he is gone. Here are some pics of the kids recently
