Snow Day

Mommy, Tyler & DaddyMommy, Tyler and Unkie Steve
Do you see the unhappy face already?

We decided since it was Tyler's 2nd winter that we would head up to the snow for the day since we are so close. One of my favorite resorts to go to just because it's where I used to go as a kid and always had fun is Soda Springs. It's totally small and not usually crowded just because it is so small. We decided to go there and check out the kid's snow park and do some tubing as well. So Addam, myself, Tyler and my brother Steve all piled into the Tahoe and we headed out for a day of fun. Tyler slept on the way to the snow, and woke up just as we got there and kept saying, "SNOW!!!". Well, he liked it until he got out into it. He must have cried the entire time we were there and kept saying, "Car, Car, Car!!". We did attempt the kid's snow park with him which did not seem to go over very well with him. So I told Addam and Steve to go tubing and I would give Tyler a snack in the car. Tyler was so happy to be in the truck and didn't want to leave!! We headed back up to the tubing area and I had to hold him the whole time because he didn't want to be in the snow. We watch Addam and Steve pull all of the kid's who were on a trip with their school up to the lift for tubing, what nice guys! They were sweating like crazy pulling 2 kids who were like 9-10 years old up the hill! Then I got a chance to do a little tubing and was racing my brother down the tubing area. You sure do pick up speed! Tyler was relieved when it started to get dark and we said we were leaving. There's always hope for next year!

"Mommmmmmyyyyyy UP!"

Happy to have bear-bear and his thumb!

Guns & Hoses

Enjoying the food.

Since we couldn't make Guns & Hoses last year, this year we decided to give it a go even though it was freezing COLD outside and windy. It's the local area fireman vs. the local police agencies in the Sacramento Valley. They play a football game and it takes you back in time to high school. Each team even has it's own cheer squad! Crazy! We had a blast and it was great to attempt to watch the game and hang out with people from the department outside of work. Addam, Tyler, my brother Steve and I braved the cold. Tyler had fun playing with our good friends' kiddo's Rylee and Brody. Unfortunately our team lost, but there is always next year!

Playdate with Jack

Jack & Tyler reading away! Too cute!

Tyler has a little buddy at his gymnastics class named Jack and they have a great time playing together when they are there, so we Mom's decided let's have them play outside of gym class. They have a blast!! We try to get together once a week outside of gym class and just let them be boys and run wild. It's great fun for them, and I love having another Mommy to talk to who has a little boy who I can say, "Does he do this too?". Love the playdates Jack and Julie!

Brooke & Scott's Wedding

The Bride & Groom

The Gorgeous Bride!

8 weeks and counting!

On January 1st I headed to So Cal to begin all the fun festivities of weddings! Brooke and Scott were married on January 3rd, 2009 in Manhattan Beach in a very beautiful wedding and gorgeous reception! I was honored to be a bridesmaid and to be there watching her say, "I Do!" to her Prince Charming. I even survived high heels! She was an absolutely gorgeous bride and I wish them nothing but the best! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Barton! Have a fun honeymoon!!
