February 2013, Pine Wood Derby

 For some reason I don't remember making a car, but the cake was Awesome.

 I think this must have been a very difficult project because we have never attempted to make another cake.

 This was pretty much all Brent and Kelton.  Brent has tackled some projects while he's home with the kids, but one time seems to be enough.  It's kind of like the first time you make sugar cookies with your 3 year old.  It seems like such a fun idea, but then you wonder was this really the bond I was going for after all the mess and when your left with all the clean up and about 1 minute into the project the child is nowhere to be found.

 This seems like more of the bonding experience were looking for.  Dad draws pictures on your belly before you go to school!  AWESOME!

 Kelton is a ROBOT!

 Kelton's troop cake.  There troop number is 007!

 We did matching cousin hair today!  I love pony tails.  I think this will be the hair style I miss most when my little girls turn into big girls.  I love high ponies with curls!

 Kelton dressed up as the Lorax for school.  Pretty original costume.  He thought of it himself

 One more cake picture!

Here's my darling boy with a thousand questions.  This guy will follow you around asking you so many questions about everything.  If you ever can't think of a question ask Kelton he'll have a good one for you.  He wants to know about everything especially the biggest, longest, smartest, strongest things!

Phase 2 of Our Trip Down the California coast Feb. 2013

 So Beautiful

A Beach in Monterey 

 I was 2 weeks pregnant with little Hudson, but did not know it yet!

 Exploring the California Coast

 Sweet Boys!

 We stopped and saw my sweet friend Jen and her family!  Loved seeing them!

 Little park time with the Weavers!

Me and Jen try one more time to get a cute picture.  Kelton just said, "but that didn't work!" 

Trip down the Coast

Our Trip down the coast

 Seal Beach

 There were so many seals it was amazing.

It was such a beautiful drive!  I had no idea the California coast was such an amazing drive.  I've driven down the southern part, but never the Northern part.  Literally felt like I was in Ireland.

 We always love the beach!

 The weather was amazing!

 I love these kids!  Can't imagine life with out them!

We had such a great time together.

These Bikes are harder than they look and not that fun on crowded beaches!  Too many people to run into.

 Little Ultimate Frisbee with the Marquis in Santa Barbara

 Too big and cool to ride : )

 Old Friends

 Solvang.   A little Dutch town

 Danishes in Solvang

I took about a million pictures on this trip!  For some reason I only have these, but it's a start.  I'm so behind with my pictures it begins to be a little overwhelming, but I guess it's like exercising, just little bits at a time.  For some reason I haven't really felt like writing anything either.  I think I've written and talked so much I'm all out of words.

If you ever get a chance to drive down the Pacific Coast Highway 1 you really should.  It is just breath taking!
